Once we push off from the dock, it's game on. We'll start by hitting some prime spots where the bass have been biting.

And let's be real – there's nothing quite like the thrill of battling a big bass in the crisp New Hampshire air, surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery the Granite State has to offer.
Largemouth Bass: These bucket-mouthed bruisers are the kings of the lake for many anglers. In New Hampshire, largemouth can grow to impressive sizes, with fish over 5 pounds not uncommon. They love to hang out near structure – fallen trees, weed edges, and docks are all prime real estate. During the summer months, you might find them busting up the surface chasing baitfish, making for some heart-pounding topwater action. Largemouth are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, so hold on tight when you set the hook!
Smallmouth Bass: Don't let the name fool you – these bronze backs pack a serious punch. Pound for pound, many anglers consider smallmouth to be the hardest fighting freshwater fish around. In New Hampshire's clear, cool lakes, smallmouth thrive. They tend to prefer rocky areas and deeper water than their largemouth cousins. When hooked, a smallmouth will often go airborne, making for some spectacular fights. The fall months can be particularly productive for trophy-sized smallies as they bulk up for winter.
This year has been off the charts for both numbers and size. We've been consistently putting clients on 3-4 pound largemouth, with a few topping the 6-pound mark. Smallmouth action has been hot too, especially in the early mornings and late evenings. One of our recent trips landed a 4.5-pound smallie that put on an acrobatic show before finally coming to the net. Whether you're looking to fill the livewell or just enjoy some catch-and-release action, the bass fishing in New Hampshire is hard to beat right now.
No need to worry about bringing your own tackle box – we've got you covered. Our Bass Tracker Pro is loaded with top-of-the-line fishing gear, from sensitive graphite rods to the latest in fish-finding technology. We use a mix of baitcasting and spinning setups, so you can fish with whatever you're most comfortable with. Our arsenal includes a variety of lures to match any condition – crankbaits, jigs, soft plastics, and more. We even keep some live bait on hand for those days when the fish are being picky. Just bring your lucky hat and leave the rest to us.
New Hampshire weather can be a bit unpredictable, but that's part of the fun. We fish rain or shine, and sometimes those cloudy days can produce some of the best bites. In the summer months, expect warm days and cool mornings. A light jacket or sweatshirt is always a good idea, especially for those early starts. Don't forget the sunscreen and polarized sunglasses – they'll help you spot those bass cruising in the shallows. If thunderstorms roll in, safety is our top priority. We'll either wait it out or, if necessary, call it a day early. But a little rain? That often turns the bite on, so we say bring it on!
At Lake 'N Land Guide Services, we're all about sustainable fishing. We practice catch-and-release for most of our bass, ensuring healthy populations for years to come. If you want to keep a few for the dinner table, we'll make sure to stay within legal limits and focus on mid-sized fish. We'll also teach you how to properly handle and release bass to minimize stress on the fish. It's all about preserving the resource so that future generations can enjoy the thrill of bass fishing in New Hampshire's beautiful lakes.

Largemouth bass are the heavyweights of New Hampshire's lakes, often topping 5 pounds. You'll find them lurking in weedy areas, around submerged logs, or near docks. Unlike smallmouth, largies prefer warmer, murkier water. They're ambush predators, so look for cover when targeting them. Spring and early summer are fantastic as the big females move shallow to spawn. Anglers love largemouth for their sheer power – when a big one hits, you'll know it. They're not as acrobatic as smallies, but they'll test your gear with strong runs. For a real thrill, try topwater lures early morning or late evening. Watch a big bass explode on a buzzbait – it's addictive! My local tip: focus on inside weed edges during summer. Work a Texas-rigged worm slowly along that edge, and hold on tight when you feel that telltale "thump"!
Smallmouth bass are true fighters, usually running 2-4 pounds in New Hampshire waters. They love rocky, clear areas and prefer cooler temps than their largemouth cousins. You'll find them hanging around underwater structure like fallen trees or boulders. Spring and fall are prime seasons when they're more active in shallower water. Anglers love smallies for their acrobatic jumps and strong runs when hooked. They're also excellent eating if you choose to keep a few. For the best luck, try light spinning gear with 6-10 pound test line. Toss small crankbaits or soft plastics near rocky points or drop-offs. My go-to trick is using a weightless wacky-rigged worm - smallies can't resist it when you let it sink slowly. Just be ready for an explosive strike!
