Lake Winnipesaukee: Lake Winnipesaukee has been referred to as New Hampshire's "jewel", 44,565 acres of smallmouth heaven. Winnipesaukee is 26 miles long with 182 miles of shoreline, 374 islands, countless mid-lake humps, shoals, points, and coves with varying depths. There's a big variety of structure and cover, including deep water grass lines, all with tremendous amounts of forage supporting a huge smallmouth population.
Squam Lake: Next door in Holderness, New Hampshire, hidden shoreline cottages have kept Squam Lake a remote north country lake. Squam Lake was formed more than a million years ago when receding glaciers left several granite basins forming gin clear lakes with beautifully wooded shorelines. Squam Lake has a number of these basins and can be viewed as several lakes in one. Big Squam Lake is only 6,675 acres but has 65 miles of shoreline, 67 Islands, a considerable amount of vegetation, and a huge crayfish population, the primary forage for Squam Lake smallmouth.

SEASONS
SPRING: From ice out until water temperatures
reach the upper 40's it's mostly searching deep water points and drop-offs
near spawning areas with jig and pig combinations, grubs and a 1/4 -ounce
Silver Buddy. Fishing can be painfully slow but this is when chances for
BIG smallmouths are good. Once temperatures are on the rise and weather patterns
are stable, the real fun begins. When surface temperatures reach about
48-degrees, smallmouths will start coming up after suspending Rogues. As
temperatures reach the mid to upper 50's, it's time for topwater lure's like
the gold Bomber Long-A and medium to deep diving crankbaits. This is smallmouth
fishing at its best - a time when action can be non-stop for days - as long
as weather patterns remain stable that is. Peak activity may run from early
May through most of June.
SUMMER: During early morning hours, top water action remains good through most of the summer. Once the sun is up, fishing "cabbage" in 10 to 12 feet of water along drop-offs and deep water grasslines mixed with rock, shale and gravel to about 25 to 35-feet with Carolina Rig lizards, grubs, tube baits and spider jigs will produce best.
FALL: Fishing fall smallmouth patterns is almost spring fishing in reverse. Starting about the second or third week of September, water temperatures start to cool and smallmouths get active, fattening up for the long winter months. This is when smallmouth fishing is nearly as good as spring time; on many days, spinnerbait and topwater action is almost non-stop. And fishing when fall foliage explodes into bright reds, oranges and yellows in the surrounding hills and mountain ranges is unbeatable.
