1240.0. "WINNI FISHING QUESTIONS" by MEMORY::CHINNASWAMY () Fri Sep 08 1989 14:53

    Hello,  I am planning on going up to Lake Winnipausaukee on the
    weekend of Sept. 30.  I would GREATLY appreciate any advice on
    any of the following.  
    
    What types of lures should I use.  I have a downrigger and lead-core
    line.  I also have a depth-chart and fish locator map.
    
    Any campgrounds near the gunstock ski area.
    
    How to register my Mass. boat in NH.
    
    
    
    					Thanks a bundle!!!!

1240.2A few more tipsTOMCAT::PRESTONPunch it, Margaret!Fri Sep 08 1989 17:4622
    I registered my Mass boat in NH at one of the marinas near Weirs
    Beach. I believe that most marinas can handle it for you. I think
    it cost me around $30 for the year (ouch!).
    
    If you don't hear of any campgrounds before you leave, there's a
    couple along the road between Weirs Beach and Meredith. You can
    also pick up some info at the NH state rest areas along rt 93.
    
    I'm not familiar with all of Winni, but the area around Meredith
    is very nice. Lots of things to do when you're not fishing, and
    the only public (free) launch area I know of is in Meredith, but
    there's one at Lakesport Marina in Laconia that charges $7.50 for
    in/out. I think Gunstock is not too far from Laconia, if memory
    serves, so Lakesport may be a good choice. It's right along the
    road into town from the east.
    
    Call Paugus Bay Sporting Goods in Laconia too, for up-to-date info
    on how and what the fish are hitting, etc. At least take Lee's advice,
    he know's what he's talking about.

1240.3JITTERBUGS ARE FOREVERWAV12::SAVAGESat Sep 09 1989 17:168
    USE JITTERBUGS AND FISH THE ROCK MARKERS ALONG THE COVES..HOLD ON
    TIGHT AS THE SMALLMOUTHS ARE VISCIOUS
    
    UNLESS THINGS HAVE CHANGED, YOU CAN REGISTER THE BOAT AT ANY MARINA
    OR BAIT SHOP.
    
    GO GET THEM

1240.5Public Ramps have a hitchDEMING::MATTSONMon Sep 11 1989 14:3835
    			WORD OF CAUTION
    
    	I like you went up to Winnie for a week and was a little
    disappointed at what happened. First off you can register your boat
    at any Marina. It's expensive,mine was $38 for a 15ft 25hp boat.
    Next a license for the week will run you about $17. Now the big
    kicker once you invest all this money. Even though their are public
    boat ramps you can't leave your out of state car and trailer their.
    At the Meridith ramp like someone already mentioned,only the town
    folks can leave their trailers and cars their. I went to the Marine
    Division there and told them I was totaly Pissed about this and
    just about everything in Mass has a state ramp you can use and leave
    your vehicle in the parking lot. They said they were sorry about
    that but that's the way it is on Winnie. I ended up paying a Marina
    close by a Fat Fee to let me come and go with my boat.
    	So you can get around this if you know someone who'll let you
    put your boat in and out. Rent a place that has acess to Winnie.
    I don't know for sure but I'll bet any camp grounds on the water
    would charge to let you in and out. Or to beat the system at the
    Meridith ramp have someone drop you off and come back with the trailer
    later,or you could take a chance if it's during the week and park
    your car and trailer somewhere away from the public ramp parking.
    But again you can't expect to just drive up an unload. Maybe someone
    out there knows of a spot on Winnie where you can do this all for
    free. The area you'll be in,Gunstock I thought I read,the closest
    "Public Ramp" is Meridith. If money is no object then don't worry
    their are plenty of places that would be glad to take your money
    to let you load and unload. All in All Winnie is probobly like know
    place you've ever fished before. The note before that suggested
    the Pagus Bay Bait Shop is real good advice. They'll be able to
    tell you what's hot and what's not.  Good Luck.

1240.6AYM"S FARM IN GILFORDJETSAM::CATALDOMon Sep 11 1989 19:2610
    Try Aym's (sp) in Gilford.  I haven't been there for a couple of
    years, but they charge you a daily fee of about $6.00 and will allow
    you to leave the vehicle and trailer there.  It a big white place
    (formerly a farm), with many boats there stored on trailers seasonally.
    It provides quick access to Diamond and Rattlesnake Islands, where
    the water is DEEP and there is good salmon and lake trout
    opportunities.  Their ramp is blacktop, and steep.  They also have
    a restaurant for breakfast.

    Sounds like a great topic for a new note. Suppose you enter the base 
    note, since you were the first brave soul to state the obvious,
    and the rest of us can jump in too. It might be interesting.
