Today was the first full day in here in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire on Lake Winnipesaukee. This is mine and Granny’s annual visit to see family and fish for all kinds of warmwater fish. We’ll be here for 18 days and fish, kayak and lay my dad to rest (you may remember he passed in January). I don’t aim to waste any time this visit and this morning I hit the water and headed for Back Bay promptly at 4:15 AM.
We took three canoes. My sister and her family in two of them and me and my niece Montana in the other. Back Bay was once an insanely great fishery for chunky largemouth bass and lengthy chain pickerel. Now these great fish are rare but there’s a few along with plenty of smaller sunfish.
For me its just enjoyable to be in Back Bay. My childhood was full of good times fishing here and on this excursion I spent most my time daydreaming while paddling Montana around. She hammered the pumpkinseeds and bluegill.
We wrapped up the days fishing around 11 AM. I couldn’t hold back and caught a small largemouth and a smallie and this handsome bluegill. It’s hot like you can’t imagine. This afternoon temps topped 91°. I’ll have plenty more time to get out. Tomorrow morning Montana and will go full pursuit on the Winnipesaukee smallies.
