It’s hard to believe Granny and I went three days here in Wolfeboro, NH without making a cast. Believe me, I thought about fishing, but the weather went south since our last outing. The temps dropped to the low 50°s and there’s been a bunch of cold rain. Toss in a family boat ride around Lake Winnipesaukee and catching up on work projects, fishing simply didn’t happen.
Furthermore, you may remember that fishing was slow the other day. Many of the smallmouth bass have settled on their nest to do their thing so we haven’t exactly wanted to go out and mess with them. But today was our last day here in Wolfeboro for a while. It’s a different last day than in past years. Since we sold our house in Victor, ID back in October, we’ve been in and out of Mom’s here in Wolfeboro like its sort of been our home. So we had to take one more canoe ride, catch a few rock bass, visit Back Bay and of course, spend some time with Mom.
We dabbled and fished our way to Back Bay. I plucked a big smallie on a popper. But the majority of our fishing was in the weeds of Back Bay catching numerous more rock bass, a pickerel and some very nice pumpkinseeds and bluegill. Honestly it was more lounging than fishing – taking it all in. Winnipesaukee and Wolfeboro are beautiful places and we’ll miss basing out of here dearly.
Our highlight of the day was when we tied the canoe up to the Garwood’s Restaurant dock. I texted mom and told her to come down and meet. The warm spring sun shined bright on their outside tables and we grabbed one and enjoyed a few orange whips and some great food. Here the lake view is incredible and brings back a lifetime of good memories.
So long Wolfeboro. Tomorrow we point the Ruby Van for the Midwest. Expect a stop on the carp flats of Lake Michigan in route for our new home in Wisconsin.
