Merrymeeting Lake Fishing Report
Smallies, Jigs And A Big Toe
Hit up Merrymeeting Lake in NH going after smallies on their beds. It took a while to find a section of shoreline they were on but once we found them it was on! The best bite was on a black and blue jig with a rattler. These fish were VERY aggressive. My buddy lost his jig in about 4 feet of water right on a bed. He went in the water to get it and while trying to grab the jig with his toes, the smallie tried to swallow his big toe. Very funny. We also both hooked into smallies at the same time. Sight fishing bedding bass is by far my favorite fishing.
Bows and salmon were in shallow and you couldn't throw a stone without hitting a sucker. Spent the last hour or so going after lakers and salmon but no takers.
