The Conquering Of Lake Waukewan In NH

Get ready for a roller coaster of a Fishing Trip- Valpey & Napa Tagteam. There will be various trips lumped into this depiction of a 3 day fishing excursion in NH, where the MA Angler's showed the lake what true Fisherman are capable of!

BONUS TIME: Napa and I arrive on the lake a day earlier than expected around 4:00 pm on August 15th. We head to a cove about a mile from the house and waste no time to catch some fish. I casted towards a dock surrounded by lily pads with a rubber worm and landed a fiesty 1.5lb large mouth bass. This was Napa's first experience fishing at this absolutely beautiful Lake. The water is velvet and the fish are the healthiest I've ever seen. About an hour later we go to deeper waters about 15ft deep, where a fallen log has found it's new home. The log not only occupied the waters as Napa quickly found out as he snipped a 3lb, 17 inch small mouth bass. A monster and fight that took him a couple minutes to wear down the beast before I could get him in the boat. What a start to the trip and bonus time was capitalized.

MORNING BITE: The next morning we woke up at 5:30 am, interesting enough I woke up on a spider covered floor instead of the King Size bed that resided 5 feet from me. We are both extremely grogy so we hit a local Mickey D's to fuel up before the trip. I ask the woman at the window for the weather report and she replies, "It's going to be beautiful, 100 degrees, extremely humid with no breeze" Interesting prospective on the weather yet I was unfazed as I knew I would be on the water. We get in a 10 horse power fishing boat at 6:30 am and make our way to Mosquito Cove 2 miles across the lake. We roll up to a glass covered surface, about 5 feet of weedy water with Aunt Lily all around us. There is a solo-fisherman, most likely from P-Town. We ask if he has had any luck and he replies "Yeah I just caught a bass, about the size of (proceeds to basically stand up in his canoe and motions to unzip his fly, before realizing better and says) my paddle." Okay buddy calm down we tell him. Napa wastes no time and catches a true Larry of a Large mouth bass, 4 lbs and 18 inches. A tremendous fight as it desperately darted into the weeds during the reel in. About 20 minutes later I caught 2 large mouth bass, nothing to right home about. We then encounter the second character of the morning a woman khayaker that is laughing histerically and is pretty much wearing an "I smoke crack" t-shirt. We gave her a little air-time before we booked it out of there. Morning bite success.

LATE NIGHT JITTERING- This is still the 16th of August around 8:30 at night when Napa and I feel the urge to go due some jitterbugging in the Cove we went to the first day. We were at a Harley Bar before taking yager bombs to get us amped up. Were floating in between some Doc's when Larry decides to come out and play. Again Napa was on the recieving end when this Slob smashed his bug about 15 feet from the boat and put on a high jump clinic before I scooped him in the net. The beast was 17 inches and weighed close to 4 lbs. Not much action the rest of the night which surprised me as I usually catch 3-5 bass on any given night there. The lake was glass and the sky so clear, yet dark due to no moon....appparently a time of the year that is called "Blue Moon" I'm usually used to sipping back on Blue Moons but pretty cool to experience.

LAST HOPE LARRY: August 18th at 7:00 am and I realize that I haven't caught a substantial fish. We set out in the fishing boat, again great weather and fishing conditions. We go to the other side of the cove where we can spot fish. Prior to casting another Khayker going faster in his boat than I am in basically a racing boat approaches us. I ask "have you seen the loons in this cove?" Not sure why I asked as he was wearing a Loon feather hat and scuba gear to go loon sight seeing. A pretty cool old-timer to shoot the s*** with. I warned him of our angling skills so he wisely jumped in the water on the other side of the cove. Napa is using a squid lure and got the first pickeral of the trip, a solid one at that as it was 17 inches long. We leave to go about a mile back towards the house to a cute little cove tucked into the corner of the lake. As we paddle in we see the Larry Family, two lunkers with about 100 baby bass following close behind. My estimation was about 5 pounds and beautiful looking fish. We immediately start fishing hoping to land Mommy or Daddy. I threw a cast with a Yamamoto in about 2 feet of water at a dock with tree cover. My line starts to run wildly from side to side so I knew I struck a solid pickeral. I got the fish to the boat and Napa net's the SOB- Whooooo! It wasn't a Larry of a bass but I didn't give a s*** as the 19 inch monster was the best fish I caught during the NH tour. I'll take Mr. Picky anyday! That concludes one of the most legendary vacation/fishing excursion's I've ever been on.

We went to NH and angled, resulting in the conquering of Lake Waukewan!
