Fishing Report August 9 2014 New Hampshire

Conditions:Partly cloudy skies, mid 80's air temperatures, 80-81 degree water temperature, no wind

Was time to go visit some family again and luckily for us they are at a campground on a lake that we fish a lot and spend countless hours on as well. This body of water when it is slick out with no wind, for me is always a very tough bite added the heat factor as well. Today was not going to be any different as the bite was off once again. My main objective though was to finish mapping out one section of the lake so that I have a current lake map that when the ice season comes, there are a number of different places now that we will be targeting. It is amazing that after fishing a particular body of water for so many years, that once you have an actual map of it in front of you, there are so many areas that you didn't even know about. I tried a few new areas this day that didn't produce anything, but for that matter, even the usual places were fishing very tough. The couple of bass that were caught were caught in deeper water on a 4 inch french fry style worm in a blackish color weighted with an 1/8 oz slip sinker. There were a number of locations that I wanted to fish but every time I made a move to those, there was always a boat on them. Talking with fellow anglers that fish here regularly as well have said that their best fishing is the time frame from after dinner till dark. Unfortunately I don't have that luxury so we fish when the time comes that we get to go. It can only get better going forward as the weather will start to cool off and the fish need to start feeding heavily for the winter months coming.

Tomorrow is going to find us home on a local lake and going to go back and check out some locations that we have found some very nice fish on...so until next time may your lines be TIGHT and you have a...FISH ON.....
