Default Bronzebacks Near Center Harbor

Hey everyone im looking for some good smallmouth spots near center harbor. I am staying there in a couple weeks with my 14ft 20hp boat. I know of some good areas more towards the middle of the lake, however they are kind of far from where I am staying and my boat isnt very quick so any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Pick a shoal, any shoal. Fish the tops in the am and move deeper as the day progresses. Look for a mixture of rock , sand and weed like cabbage and sand grass (grows in 15-30'). Also fish the flats. Pick any shoreline, move out to the 5' - 20' depth and cast at a 45* angle to the shore covering depths from 10' -20' Blacky cove and salmon Meadow cove hold some nice largemouth under the docks and in the shallower weedlines. In blacky concentrate on the whole cove from the time you enter the mouth of it (smallies can be had here) all the way to the cabbage patches all the way in the back. In salmon meadow only fish the front 1/2 of the cove fishing the docks 1st then the weeds

Talking more bass ideas

There is also excellent small mouth fishing just off Little Beaver Island where a red cottage sits on the shore rock facing Center Harbor. The rock ledges around the Becky's Garden region work. The area leading up to the bridge to Black Cat Island from the Center Harbor side relatively close to the bridge is good and in the AM fish are often surfacing and taking surface plugs, etc. The water get deep just off in the area between the bridge and Becky's garden, so if you get bored of bass you can just drop your line deeper and pull upa trout or salmon.

Good luck.

Default Bass

We were just there on vacation. We had awesome results with "Bitters Best" the little bait shop in Meredith sells them. Green colors worked best. We fished most of the coves in and around Meredith. We found the fish were near the shores in the morning and in the rocks and about 5+ feet of water later in the day. We caught mostly small mouth and quite a few large mouth bass.

Good luck
