Bass fishing the Nashua River by dam at the canoe/kayak launch in Pepperell MA

A Great fishing spot along the Nashua River. Just don't go too close to the dam in this area. If you head upstream, there are a few bass boats looking for some killer bass. They have cast their lines out and are just waiting for a bass to strike.

There is another canoe/kayak launch at route 119 on the Pepperell-Groton line on one side of the road with a motorized boat/trailer launch on the opposite side of the road.

Between these 2 spots lies Pepperell Pond; this is an area of the river that is fairly wide with some little islands, small peninsulas jutting out into the river, and some small brooks feeding into the river.

These are ideal areas that offer some interesting structure for fish especially bass.

I am going to stop tonight somewhere at a fishing spot on the river to try my luck at catching a bass. I will probably be casting my line out from shore. I don't have the time to get my kayak or canoe up on my car, but I always travel with my rods and reels ready to go, and hop out to

I had that fishing fever bad yesterday, but I was way too busy to fix it. I put aside time today just to get in some fishing in a new spot that I am dying to try. I have a few new spots because of their location in the river or the structure that is there, I think and hope that there are some good sized bass around.

I picked today's location because of semi-easy accessibility. The weather folks have predicted thunderstorms; I only have a short time frame to fish, and I don't want to waste the time getting to my fishing spot.

Because I want fast action, I'll be trying some new lures that I have. Later today on my way to the river, I will determine which ones and which colors to use. I'll update this blog to let you know the results.

I already have my rod and reel in my car and all set to go as well as my tackle box.

P.S. Don't forget to bring the sunscreen, something to eat and drink. If you're like me, I tend to get a little carried away and always want to fish longer than I expected. Don't drink too much - Relieving yourself takes valuable time away from bass fishing!!!
