Bronzeback Clave

This is a call to arms for people who can access Maine or New Hampshire's Lakes Region in end May through mid-June. There is a world class smallmouth bass fishery in which I've had personal experience with 5+ pound bronzebacks. it is typically a sight-fishery if pods are located pre-spawn, or if they are on the gravel bars. If not, they are hunted in traditional fashion.

Canoes and kayaks are plenty, but these lakes can handle large boats.

I am familiar with a certain area of Lake Winnepesaukee but we should consider other options based on recommendations in surrounding areas and southern Maine. By default, the area will be a number of prominent lake structures adjacent to Meredith NH.

A day trip is an option due to proximity for New England members.

Any takers?

Hmm... so you must know all about that incredible fishery in the early summer! It's really something else, and just within a couple of hours from home. It would even me a worthwhile day outing for some.

Let me know if you have a premier location in mind for SO / ME. As far as license cost, I believe the 3-day NH pass is cheap. I can't recall, I always buy NH season licenses, even the salmon stamps - every year. Pricey now that you mention it.


Well, hope this works out. It's been over a decade since fished up there but I hear it's as good as ever.
