I've been jigging around providence/stave island for a couple of days now and had no luck. I've got no sonar and only a small Jon boat with 5 HP mercury. It seems like jigging randomly in water that is 60-100 ft. isn't the best approach. Is it smarter to troll when I don't have a sonar or jig? Have you had any success with lake trout/salmon in the south hero area?
@BendItFishing7 күн бұрын
I haven't fished that area of the lake yet but I'm sure they are up there. My next video will help you a lot. If you are jigging blind your best bet is to find a hump and jig on it. Trolling is effective blind but you need to get down deep and know how deep you are.

If so, I would be very willing to privately trade spots with you. Any feedback is appreciated.

@BendItFishing lol I know all about that trick. Found some maps showing the outcomes of those electrofishing surveys, but I was curious about how many trout they found at each survey and how big they are, so I asked fish and game and they were able to give me all of the nh government electrofishing records. Now I know every little detail of each survey, it helps a ton. And by the way, natives get just as big down in southern nh. I caught one in hooksett, nh, 10 minutes from my house in Manchester, that was probably 12-13 inches. As I stated, native, not stocked. I wish I could send a Pic but you can't through KZread.

@BendItFishing yeah. There is some very good trout fishing in southern nh. I went today and had one that I lost right at shore that was probably 8-10 inches. Looking at some of the survey information, within 30 minutes of Manchester, 3 streams they have found 60 plus brook trout in, and one stream they found 150 in last time they did a survey there. The third biggest brookie found in a river or stream during an electrofishing survey in NH (11.81 inches) was found 10 minutes from manchester. Multiple 10 inches plus have been found IN Manchester AND Concord. The biggest found in the Dead Diamond and Swift Diamond River during electrofishing surveys was only 8.5 inches. Keep in the dead and swift Diamond rivers are known for some of the best brook trout fishing in NH. Don't underestimate Southern nh, lol. But I'm sure they are easier to come by up north.
