The boat handles up to three anglers comfortably, with pricing starting at $600 for solo trips and $750 for pairs. Want to bring a third person? Add them on for just $150 more.
Techniques & Tackle We Use
We'll rotate through different techniques depending on what's working and what you want to learn. Early morning often means topwater action – there's nothing quite like watching a bass explode on a buzzbait or popper in that glassy morning water. As the day progresses, we might switch to soft plastics around structure, crankbaits over points and humps, or work weedlines with spinnerbaits and jigs. The key is reading the water and adapting to what the fish want. New Hampshire's lakes have incredible structure – rocky points, submerged timber, weed flats, and deep drop-offs that hold fish year-round. We'll use the electronics to mark fish and bait, then present baits in the most effective way possible. Whether you're comfortable with baitcasters or prefer spinning gear, we've got quality setups ready to go.
Target Species You'll Want to Hook
Smallmouth bass are the crown jewel of New Hampshire fishing, and for good reason. These bronze-backed fighters are absolutely relentless once hooked, making runs that'll test your drag and jumping clear out of the water. New Hampshire's clear, rocky lakes are perfect smallmouth habitat, and fish in the 2-4 pound range are common, with bigger ones always possible. They love rocky points, boulder fields, and drop-offs, especially during summer when they'll suspend over deep water but move shallow to feed. Spring and fall are prime times when they're most aggressive, but summer fishing can be phenomenal early and late in the day. What makes smallmouth special is their fight-to-weight ratio – pound for pound, they're some of the strongest freshwater fish you'll encounter.
Largemouth bass bring a different kind of excitement to the day. While they might not jump as much as their smallmouth cousins, largemouth are ambush predators that hit hard and fast. New Hampshire's largemouth tend to be thick and healthy, thanks to abundant forage and good habitat. You'll find them around weed cover, fallen trees, docks, and shallow bays, especially during spring spawning season. They're most active in warmer water, making summer mornings and evenings prime time. A 3-5 pound largemouth is a solid fish here, and the occasional 6+ pounder keeps things interesting. These fish are smart and can be finicky, making them a great challenge for anglers who like to think through their presentations.
