Biggest of my latest Squam trip was a 4.89 Largemouth. Best five for the day went 16.48, all largemouth. Sniper Jig from Beast Coast did the heavy lifting catching all my fish. Color didn’t seem to matter all that much as long as you found them. Caught them on Stealth Craw, OG Brown Craw, and Dirtbag. The key was to find areas with good chunk rock in 10-20ft of water that had 30+ft nearby for the fish to go to.

October trip up to Squam. Sniper Jig from beast coast was the deal again. Got me my biggest as shown in the picture above coming in a 5.37lbs. Best five for the day went 15.01lbs. Hard bottom with rocks in 10-20ft of water adjacent to a steep bank or point was where I found all my fish.

I was driving around graphing a point when I found some large arches off the end of it in 36ft of water. I waypointed them, then turned the boat around, made one drop with the dropshot and caught my biggest smallie of the day at 2.68lbs.

Caught a bunch of smallies. They were located on flats adjacent to drop offs with boulders in 10 - 15 feet of water. Boulders were required. No size. Nothing bigger than 2.5 pounds, but lots of fun. They were tearing up the jerkbait.

Spent a full day chasing bass on Squam. Started morning hitting a few rock piles in the middle of coves working prop baits over the top then spinnerbaits and drop shot off the edges catching a few nice largemouth and pesky panfish. Next fished shoreline lay-downs with jig n pig and spinnerbaits; my buddy connecting with the biggest largemouth of the day at just under 6 lbs. As morning wore on worked a number of channel marker anchors in 10'+ of water with drop shot catching a number of nice smallmouth plus some yellow perch. Later fished edge of submerged ledges and points of rocky islands with spinnerbaits and drop shot catching several of smallmouths out to ~ 15', mostly < 2 lbs. Beautiful summer day and lot of bass made for a great day on Big Squam.
