freshwater outings in the fall...

My lastr kayak trip was this past weekend up on Lake Winnipesaukee in NH. Woke on SUnday to 1-2 inches of snow and temps hovering around freezing. launched to a section of the lake that was "flat as glass" calm, broken only by passing sleet showers.
I bottom fished and managed to get a bucket load of perch, of course the bucket would be a child's sand pail as the persh were around 3-5" in length. I hit a small marina(no boats) and fished around the docks for awhile before calling it a day with a few small bass to end the trip.

There are big fish there, but they are harder to get because they are migrating from their summer/fall spots to their fall/winter spots.

Luckily I know where their winter spots are, so I should be ready for the ice!!!

Here are a few pics from a couple of trips....

Like the bridge photo, looks like a good carp spot.

I thought it might hold some decend fish, but it's REAL shallow.
There are fish there, but they're panfish.

Further upstream on the Sudbury River you will "run across" (literally) plenty of big carp.
There is also the other wildlife in the area as well, but you have to be lucky to see it (meaning looking in the right direction at the right time).
