Lake Umbagog NH 2007

[Jim]

The trip in one word....Awesome. The weather cooperated except for 1 day, the fish were plenty with a couple being of really good size. The cottage, the best I have ever seen. Paradise Point Cottages is hands down the best place to stay if you ever visit Errol NH. The owners Ricky and Linda went out of there way to make our accomodations awesome. We saw plenty of Turkeys and American Bald Eagles. No Bears, No Turkeys, No Moose . We fished the Androscoggin river and had our best day there. We boated roughly 25 fish that day. The biggest dissapointment of my trip was losing the biggest fish of the trip (A heavy 4 pounder, possibly a 5 pounder) on a PCBAITS chatterbait knockoff. I put it on because I never used one before, and sure enough it produced Bass, pickerel, and the one that got away. I hope I never lose it, Im not sure if he makes them anymore. All in all I can safely we boated lots of fish, no record breakers or huge numbers, but no Skunks. We decided to kick back and troll for trout, but the only thing we caught were more bass and Perch. they would nail the lure and come out of the water 100 to 150 feet behind the boat. I can not wait to go back there again!

Good food, PLENTY of Beer :twisted: and good company! Can you ask for anything more?


We had the whole lake to ourselves:

Forgot to add....On the last day (the worst day because you have to clean up, pack up, and have a long ride home) we decided to fish behind the rocks and up along the edge (see pictures with boats and notice huge rocks sticking out in the backround) before we pulled the boat out. I decided to try a topwater Megabass POP-X. Right off the bat I got a nice smallie and a Pickerel, and Marine0321 landed that pickerel on the pcbaits chatterbait.

During the day it would be mid 60's, and then in the morning and night it was like 40's.

Man that sounds like a great time! I NEVER take trips like that. That needs to change!

Congrats on a great weekend, Jim. Loved the story and the pics
