Winnipesaukee Lake – July 2nd, 2006

Headed up to lake Winni and launched out of Wolfborough with my nephew Nelson for some salmon / laker fishing. We trolled 2 leadcore lines out of the bay and got a 16-17 inch salmon right off on a orange / gold db smelt at about 4 colors down. Lost it at the boat trying to net it but I’m still going to count it. 🙂 After that we pulled up a bass as we were heading towards the islands.

We headed for Rattlesnake island and trolled over 80-100 feet of water with the same setup and got a 10 inch salmon on a green spotted Top gun. Then we decided to try for some smallie action and ripped some spinnerbaits through winter harbor for a bit. Was windy enough to throw a spinnerbait but the boats coming and going plus the wind made it a tough position.

Trolled some more and got another small samon off the edge of Parker island on the same db smelt lure.

We got into back bay to load up and fished in there for bass for a bit. Caught a largemouth and Nelson said he had some followers. We were out of the water and off to my 1:30 PM softball game by noon.
