Newfound Lake N.H. Fishing Report

4.6 Rating based on 5 Reviews

Newfound

Club weekend tournament. Fished for 3 days. Great first day with best 5 smallies going 14 lbs. 2nd day, day 1 of tournament I was only able to bring 3 fish to the scales, with a total weight of 6 1/2 lbs. Day 3 got even worse with a bunch of shorts and only 1 keeper smallie at 2 3/4 lbs. My non boater scored a 3.51 lber and came up with lunker. 1st place went to Ed S who weighed in 5 fish each day of tourny with a total weight of just over 30 lbs! On practice day he did not get any fish, stayed away from his best spots and used them for the days that counted. Why didn't I do that! Most fish were caught on a carolina rigged gr pumpkin zoom lizard w/ a chartruese dipped tail. I favored the 12-18 ft depths, but most of the bigger smallies were in the 25-30 ft range.
