Newfound

[FishNH]

Heading up to Newfound of Saturday the 12th, has anyone fished it?

[Mac]

I haven't fished that lake in a few years now. They could be on beds at this time. If I'm not mistaken, that lake heats up pretty quick. I haven't decided where I'm going yet. Maybe I'll see you there. I'm leaning towards Winni though.

The fishing today on Newfound was awesome. We launched at 7am and I was culling 3 pounders by 7:15am. Several over 4 were weighed-in including one by myself, what a great smallmouth fishery.

Our very own, "FishNH" with some Newfound Smallies (he had almost a 4lb avg)




Myself, two fish 3.89 and 3.79. What a lake!!!



Great day for our club!

Ty you have to host your pictures on a place like Shutterfly http://www.bbcboards.net...38419

I haven't seen the final tournament results, but there were some nice smallies caught by just about everyone.

[TMG]

how is the ramp and parking there? never been there but would like to try it this year.

[Mac]

Real tough fishery unless you are hitting the beds. Newfound has the best launching facility in the State. Dual ramp with a dock up the middle. Truck/trailer parking and restrooms. I don't know if it cost anything to launch there. I went twice and both times it was before the collected.

[FishNH]

Like Mac says, one of, if not the best launch ramp and parking in the state. Pre spawn, two fish limit, 16 fishing and we pulled out a 4.10, 4.07, and 2 4.02's. Total 99.16 pounds of smallies. We've never had to pay (state park), yet.

[FishNH]

He still needs a babysitter, but he can catch fish. Here's OThessalonikios (Ty's) smallies

[OThessalonikios]

Hahaha, Thanks FishNH. I am just a youngin and need some help.

We didn't catch a single bedding fish. All were prespawn fish corralling Alewifes on windblown shoreline. Never once took a bedding fish.

It was a real good day. The sad part... I can honestly say I threw back at LEAST 20 fish, 8 of them being 3.5 lbs. The rest from 2.5-3. It was a great day of fishing but very dissapointing throwing back MANY 3.5lb fish knowing that I will most likely kill someone for just ONE of them in future tournaments.

Summer time on Newfound, different story. VERY difficult.

[TMG]

Nice catch! I hope to put a few like that in the boat this weekend.

[FishNH]

We didn't see any bedding fish either and we were culling 3 pounders all day.
Ty did you notice we only missed winning that tournament by one once
or should I say two onces to win. It was a good tournament.

I think Squam will be great on the 16th, probably will still be some bedding
smallies and some largemouth in Dog Cove.
A 4.02 and a 3.13.

[OThessalonikios]

Yeah, it was amazing. Chris and myself weighed in 14.5 lbs for 4 smallmouth and came in 3rd or 4th. Not too many places where that happens...

I think Squam will be interesting. The fish will probably bedding in some areas and post-spawn in others. As always with Squam, Largies tend to win but we will see. 45mph speed limit will even the race to XXXXX cove (you know the one).

I am most likely going up north to fish this weekend. I fished the Nashua river for two hours after work on Tuesday. I only took one fish but it ended up being 4.5lbs so the trip was worth it. I am so excited to finally have a boat that I have been going out EVERY minute possible.

Yesterday I had to do a few shots of Jack Daniels before making my newest boat modification .... I added a Comfortroll (recessed foot tray) and it looks awesome. It was very difficult to get the nerve and take a Sawzall to my new boat however. I will have to show it to you soon. It really makes the front end look clean.

You been out much?

[TMG]

great catch! nothing better than catching smallies all day.definitely will have to try Newfound this year.

[FishNH]

Thanks Tim. 45 mph speed limit Ty, that's why I have a radar detector Just watch the rocks, Squam can be brutal. Hey if you need help with mods like that give me a shout. I think you'll like it much better recessed. Headin up to our place on Champlain for the long week-end, be back on Wednesday. I'm trying to get some guys together to do Squam on a week-day before the tournament, interested?

[OThessalonikios]

Me and some old friends from HighSchool are renting a cabin on Squam from June 7-10 so I will be up there for a while. If you guys were to come anytime on sat or sun (9th and 10th) I would be up there.

I would definately like to get together with all of the guys from the club for a giant prefish.

As for boat mods, I will definately take you up on that. My next mod will be a Keelshield. After that, I don't know what to do. I have good electronics, recessed foot tray, Cooks Tackle Storage. Perhaps later in the year I will put in a CD player. Your Gambler has one correct?

[TMG]

OThessalonikios, congrats on the boat. I know what you mean, I finally got a bass boat last year and want to be out every minute also.if I'm not out fishing I'm washing it always wanted to try the Nashua river on my way home from work but my shop is off a dirt road and boat would be full of sand by the end of the day I'll have to try it some weekend.good luck at squam!

[FishNH]

CD player. Ty I may be old, but I'm still young at heart, or an old young guy.
Dude, my rides been pimped CD player, satellite radio, DVD
player, and now I just need a good amp and a sub.
If I get up to Squam, I want to go up on a week day and avoid the chaos.

[OThessalonikios]

WOW. I never saw that the last time I was in your boat. (Conn river last year).

Like I said, I will be there on Thursday and Friday too (7th and 8th).

TMG: Thanks for the congrats on the boat. I love having one. All I want to do is fish. I will most likely due Winni tomorrow and who knows where on Sunday. Below is my Champ:





Hopefully we all meet sometime and go fishing. Tight lines everyone.

[TMG]

Very nice ride! I have a 06 nitro 482 and love it. if Im not working, I'm fishing.
I was at winni last weekend for the derby. we launched at Ames farm $20 bucks but a very nice launch, two ramps and plenty of parking. after the derby we caught a few 3-4 pound smallies around rattlesnake Island.
I'm fishing saltwater tomorrow and I'll hit a the lakes sun and mon. three days of fishing,it doesen't get anny beter than that.

FishNH,you need a microwave and a coffee maker on that!!
