7/8/11 - Lake Winnipesaukee Moultonboro, NH - Pre-Fishing

Launched out of the Lee's Mills Ramp for a day (7am to 5pm) of pre-fishing for the next days club tourney. Day started overcast, with a little ripple in the water with a temp of 71-75. By the end of the day the hazy sun, and humidity joined us. The boater Dave I fished with quickly found the popper bite was on. I tried a rage frog, and buzzbait but the fish like inconsistent retrieve of the popper. Tried a hand full of spot with the same pattern with varied success. I hooked my 1st Winni Largemouth(about 1lb) on the shakeyhead. We tried dropshotting in some spots and had some success, also got my best Largemouth of the day(1-1/4lb), and found a dropshot bait that would serve me well if this bite held into tomorrow. But popper bite was the ticket today as the Dave would have had a limit of about 6lbs to 6-1/2lbs, my 3 keepers would got 3lbs to 3-1/2lbs. Also caught 2 nonkeeper Largemouth on the dropshot, and shakeyhead, about 6 Pickerel on the dropshot, popper, and shakeyhead, a 7" Smallie on the dropshot, and 3 chunky Bluegill on the popper. Fun day overall for my 1st time fishing Winnipesaukee!
