what's in there to catch at this time of the year? I'm assuming smallies anything else?

Hi Jinx, check out Shane J's posts, he fishes the Merrimack often, all thru the winter.

Yes I do. Smallies, largemouth, salmon, bluegill, crappie, and some of the biggest perch I've ever seen in that river, not to mention carp, pickerel, and suckers, if you're into all that stuff. I target just LM and SM, but catch everything under the sun in that place. Two days ago, I landed (possibly illegally) a 12lb salmon. She was released, just in case you were wondering.

wow, you can catch all that year round? i never new that. I really wanna do more river fishing this year im only 5 minutes from the mack. What type of lures or baits do you usually use for smallies and largemouth?

july of last year on the mack, seems to be the only size i can catch of them guys. caught a couple random hornpout good size. I need to put some more time in on the river! i should go today gonna be 70

Hey Jinx, I live in Haverhill, Where do you fish the Mack? I have been kind of scared to take my boat out there but I live very close to it.

Also Crystal Lake, do they have a boat launch there?? I have not fished that yet.

I either go downtown right across from central plaza and fish that wall. I live on the bradford side of the bridge and fish close to home sometimes right off of the traintracks behind Academy Lanes bowling alley.

Hey, Jinx, in that spot you are standing in in that picture, cast a 3/8oz keel-weighted Rage Craw (Falcon Lake Craw color) out as far as you can ,and to your 1:00 position. There's a hole you will drift over that holds schools of smallies all summer long. There's also a shopping cart that you will lose at least a bait or two on.
