Bass Fishing Bonanza on NH's Top Lakes
Get ready to chase some of the best bass fishing New Hampshire has to offer! This full-day charter takes you to the prime spots across the Granite State's most scenic lakes. Whether you're after hard-fighting smallmouth or trophy largemouth, we've got the local know-how to put you on fish. Grab your favorite hat and let's hit the water!
What to Expect on the Water
We'll meet up bright and early, around 7 AM, to make the most of those prime morning hours when the bass are most active. This isn't some cookie-cutter trip - we tailor the day to match your style. Want non-stop action? We'll run-and-gun to hit multiple honey holes. Prefer a laid-back approach? We can post up on a promising point and work it thoroughly. The beauty of this charter is its flexibility.
You'll be fishing from my tricked-out 2025 Bass Tracker Pro. It's got all the bells and whistles to put us on fish - from top-notch electronics to a smooth trolling motor for sneaking up on those wary lunkers. I provide all the tackle and gear you'll need, from rods and reels to a fully-stocked box of lures that the local bass can't resist.
Techniques & Tactics
We'll use a variety of techniques depending on the conditions and where the fish are holding. Early mornings often call for topwater action - there's nothing like seeing a big bass explode on a buzzbait! As the day progresses, we might switch to finesse tactics like drop-shotting near deep structure or flipping jigs into thick cover. I'll show you the ropes if you're new to these methods, or we can geek out on the finer points if you're an experienced angler.
New Hampshire's lakes offer diverse habitat, from rocky shorelines perfect for smallmouth to weedy bays where largemouth lurk. We'll target both species, adjusting our approach based on what's biting best. The trip runs a full 8 hours, giving us plenty of time to explore different areas and dial in the pattern of the day.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
Fishing with a local guide gives you a huge advantage on these waters. I've spent countless hours exploring these lakes, finding those hidden sweet spots that consistently hold quality bass. But it's not just about catching fish - though we'll do plenty of that! It's about soaking in the natural beauty of New Hampshire's lakes, learning new skills, and creating memories that'll have you reliving the trip long after you're back home.
This trip is perfect for all skill levels. Never touched a fishing rod? No problem, I'll teach you the basics and have you catching bass in no time. Seasoned angler? Get ready to add some new tricks to your arsenal and tangle with some serious fish. And if you've got a mix of experience levels in your group, I'll make sure everyone has a great time on the water.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Largemouth Bass: These are the heavyweights of New Hampshire's lakes, often pushing 5+ pounds. Largemouth love to ambush their prey from thick cover, so we'll be pitching and flipping into vegetation, fallen trees, and boat docks. The excitement of seeing your line jump as a big bucketmouth inhales your lure is hard to beat! Spring and early summer are prime times for trophy largemouth, but we catch quality fish all season long.
Smallmouth Bass: Pound-for-pound, smallies are some of the hardest fighting fish you'll encounter in freshwater. These bronze beauties prefer rocky habitat and are absolute acrobats when hooked. We'll target them around points, drop-offs, and submerged boulders. Fall is an awesome time for trophy smallmouth as they bulk up for winter, but the action is solid throughout the warm months. Don't be surprised if we tangle with a 4-pounder that'll make your drag sing!

Learn more about the species
Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass are the heavyweights of our lakes, often hitting 2-6 pounds with some real lunkers pushing 10+. They love hanging out in weedy areas and around submerged logs, ambushing their prey. You'll find them in shallower, warmer waters compared to smallmouth. Spring is fantastic as they move up to spawn, but summer evenings can be magic too. Folks love targeting largies because of their aggressive strikes and powerful fights. Plus, that big bucket mouth makes for some impressive photos. If you're after a trophy, try working a big plastic worm slowly through thick cover – patience is key here. These fish aren't too picky, but they can get wise to pressure. A local trick is to use darker colors on cloudy days and brighter ones when it's sunny. Whether you're chasing numbers or that fish of a lifetime, largemouth bass never disappoint.
Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass are scrappy fighters that'll give you a run for your money. These bronze beauties typically run 1-4 pounds and love clear, rocky waters. You'll find them hanging around underwater structure like boulders and fallen trees. Spring and fall are prime times when they're in shallower water, but they'll head deeper as summer heats up. Anglers love smallies for their acrobatic jumps and hard-pulling fights. They're also tasty if you decide to keep a few for dinner. When the bite's tough, try a tube jig bounced slowly along the bottom – it mimics their favorite crayfish snacks. Just remember to downsize your tackle; these guys have keen eyes in clear water and can be line-shy. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, smallmouth bass fishing is always a blast on our New Hampshire lakes.
