First 2018 trip near Henniker — First 2018 trip
June has been slow for me - hot and fast morning bites and then...the wind and struggles. No big bass except the one posted which had a very small pickerel head sticking-out of its stomach.

I caught a pickerel that choked a spinner bait. Needless to say - it didn't survive but did catch the eye of an eagle - after we motored away a bit, it swooped in.
