Nothing beats spending a full day chasing bass across New Hampshire's premier fishing waters. This 8-hour guided charter puts you right where the action is, targeting both largemouth and smallmouth bass on some of the state's most productive lakes. We'll launch around 7:00 AM and customize the entire day to match your fishing style – whether you want non-stop casting or prefer to take your time soaking in the scenery between fish.
You'll be fishing from a brand-new 2025 Bass Tracker Pro that's rigged specifically for New Hampshire's bass fishing. The boat handles beautifully in both shallow coves and deeper structure, giving us the flexibility to chase fish wherever they're holding. All your tackle, rods, and gear are included, so you can focus on what matters – putting bass in the boat. The trip accommodates up to three anglers maximum, with pricing starting at $600 for solo trips, $750 for two people, and just $150 to add that third person. Keep in mind anyone 16 or older needs a valid New Hampshire fishing license before we head out.
New Hampshire's bass fishing requires adapting to the conditions and the fish's mood. We'll likely start early morning working topwater baits around shallow structure – there's nothing quite like watching a bass explode on a popper in the dawn light. As the sun climbs, we'll transition to soft plastics around deeper drop-offs and rocky points where smallmouth love to hang out. Depending on the season, we might throw spinnerbaits through weed beds, drag Carolina rigs along ledges, or work jigs in heavy cover where the big largemouth hide. The beauty of an 8-hour trip is having time to really work different techniques and find what the fish want that day.
Largemouth bass in New Hampshire's lakes are absolute fighters, especially when they're relating to the abundant weed growth and fallen timber. These fish typically run 2-5 pounds, with the occasional lunker pushing 6+ pounds showing up to make your day. Spring and early summer are prime time when they're shallow and aggressive, but they bite consistently through fall. What makes New Hampshire largemouth special is how they use the structure – they'll bury themselves in thick weeds or tight to laydowns, making every hookset an adventure as you try to muscle them out of cover.
Smallmouth bass are the scrappiers of the bunch and New Hampshire's clear, rocky lakes are perfect smallie habitat. These bronze fighters average 1-3 pounds but what they lack in size they make up for in pure fight – pound for pound, nothing pulls harder than a smallmouth. They love rocky points, boulder fields, and drop-offs, especially during summer when they school up in deeper water. Late spring through early fall is prime time, and once you find a school of smallmouth, you can often catch them one after another. The way they jump and run will have you grinning every time.

Your local captain knows exactly where to find the bass based on current conditions and season patterns.
Micropterus SalmoidesLargemouth bass are the heavyweights of our New Hampshire lakes, typically running 2-5 pounds with some real giants lurking in deeper water. These green-sided ambush predators love weedy areas, fallen timber, and shallow coves where they can hide and strike. That oversized mouth isn't just for show - they'll attack frogs, bluegills, even small ducks. Best fishing happens spring through fall, especially around spawning beds in May and again when they're feeding heavy before winter. Guests love the explosive topwater strikes and bulldogging fights these fish deliver. They're also excellent table fare when taken from clean water. Local trick: work a weightless plastic worm through thick weeds where others can't fish - that's where the big ones hide.
Micropterus DolomieuNew Hampshire's smallmouth bass are scrappy fighters that'll test your skills on light tackle. These bronze-backed beauties average 12-16 inches and love rocky structure in our clear mountain lakes. You'll find them around drop-offs, boulder fields, and points in 8-20 feet of water. Spring and fall offer the best action when they're shallow and aggressive, but summer fishing can be productive too if you work deeper water early morning or evening. What makes smallies special is their fight - pound for pound, they're tougher than their largemouth cousins. The meat's firm and tasty if you decide to keep a few. My go-to tip: tube jigs worked slowly along rocky bottom will trigger strikes when other lures fail.
