313.0. "fish fresh?" by ANROSE::BROWN () Wed Jun 30 1993 14:12

    Need Help!
    
     I am and always will be a "salt-Water fisherman!
     My 12 year old son thinks there are fish in fresh water!
    
     To prove me wrong he would like for you folks who have fished
     the general Laconia/Sanbornton/Lake Winnie area for info on
     where he could possibly fish from shore and catch a fish thats
     better size then a hobbyist aquarium fish...we(he) does not own
     a boat(yet) and shore side (lake side/stream side) is all we can do.
    
     We will be in the Laconia Lake Winnie area next week and I'm
     positive there ain't no fish in fresh water... :*)   
    
     An advanced thanks to any who respond.....

    The 4-foot pike I saw in the Concord River on Monday was an illusion.

I know people do fairly well from shore in the early spring, when the
trout and salmon are up top.  This time of year, the trout and salmon
are down deep and it's probably pretty tough to catch them from shore.
You may be able to catch some perch or smallmouth from various shorelines.

You can rent boats up there.  If you decide to do that, you might find
some pretty good smallmouth action around the islands.  

good luck,

    If you are definately land bound your best bets for Bass both large and
    small are around some of the bridges. My first pick would be the Long
    Island bridge in the North (there are also a few spots on the island
    which are still not overdeveloped...You may also get to see a few
    whitetails as the island is overpopulated with them also).
    
    If you happen to rent a boat head out for the smaller islands and fish
    spinners & topedo's. The small mouth fishing is excellent.

313.8Early bird gets the actionROYALT::GAFFNEYGone fishin/racinFri Jul 02 1993 10:316
    I know it's a vacation, but my advice is to get up EARLY if you
    want to catch some bass.  I'd be out at 1st light if it was me.
    By noon you'll be ready for a bass fry, couple of brews and a nap  :*)

    On Lake Winnie I have been catching small mouth bass but I'm fishing 
    the Islands and points. Alot of the fish are 2 lbs or more, but no real
    heavy wieghts yet. There hitting about everything. The best bet is to 
    rent a boat for a day and get up really early and fish the rocky points
    and Islands.
