When you're ready to chase some serious bass action on New Hampshire's cleanest lakes, this full-day charter puts you right where the fish are biting. We're talking 8 solid hours on the water with a local captain who knows every drop-off, structure, and seasonal pattern these lakes have to offer. Starting at first light around 7:00 AM, you'll get the prime feeding windows when bass are most active and aggressive. This isn't your typical weekend warrior outing – it's a deep dive into New Hampshire's premier bass waters with someone who's been reading these lakes for years.
This charter runs at your pace, whether you're the type who wants to hit spot after spot chasing numbers or you prefer to work an area thoroughly and really dial in your technique. We'll move between New Hampshire's top bass lakes based on conditions, season, and what the fish are doing that day. You're fishing from a brand-new 2025 Bass Tracker Pro that's set up specifically for bass fishing – we're talking proper rod holders, fish finder, trolling motor, the works. All your tackle and gear are included, so you don't need to worry about bringing anything except your enthusiasm and a valid New Hampshire fishing license if you're 16 or older. 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.
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.
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.
This charter gives you everything you need for a world-class bass fishing experience without any of the guesswork. You get 8 hours with a knowledgeable local guide, a fully equipped bass boat, all tackle and gear, and access to New Hampshire's top bass waters. Whether you're looking to improve your technique, introduce someone to bass fishing, or just want to get on fish without spending time figuring out patterns, this trip delivers. The lakes we fish are some of the cleanest and most productive in New England, and having a guide who understands seasonal movements and daily patterns makes all the difference between a good day and a great day on the water.

Micropterus SalmoidesLargemouth bass are the classic New Hampshire lake fish that got most of us hooked on bass fishing. These green-bodied bruisers average 12-20 inches and 2-5 pounds, with that signature huge mouth extending past their eyes. Look for them around weed beds, fallen trees, docks, and shallow coves where they ambush prey. They're most active in warmer months but can be caught year-round with the right approach. What makes largemouth fun is their explosive strikes and bulldogging fights. They're also great table fare when caught from clean water. Here's a local trick that works magic: throw a weightless plastic worm into thick cover and let it slowly sink - the strike usually comes on the fall, and these fish will absolutely crush it.
Micropterus DolomieuSmallmouth bass are the scrappiest fighters you'll find in New Hampshire's lakes. These bronze-colored fish with dark vertical bars typically run 12-18 inches and 2-4 pounds, but they fight like fish twice their size. They love rocky bottoms, drop-offs, and boulder fields in clear water. Spring and fall are prime time when they're active in shallower water, though summer mornings and evenings can be hot too. What makes smallmouth special is their aggressive nature and acrobatic jumps when hooked. The meat is firm and tasty if you decide to keep a few. My go-to tip: target the shaded side of rocky points early morning with a tube jig worked slowly along bottom - smallmouth can't resist that crawfish imitation bouncing through their territory.
