mcro, you picked a good place to fish, however, the majority of the smallies are down deep in 25ft+ of water, you probably should have been on the water at 5am. I know that is a hard chore from 'olde Rhoady, I come from central Mass,so I know how long the drive is.
In the summertime its best to get a room the night before and get on the water early. Then fish the shoals and buoy markers etc.
If Charlie M. was fishing pads he might have been up in Salmon Meadow Cove on Moultonboro Neck or up in Moultonboro Bay in a place called Lee'sMill. Lots of largies up there. He could also have been in a number of various coves. You just have to check them out for yourself as you visit places on the lake.
Don't forget CM picks and chooses his days when the boat traffic is low and fishing is optimum.

When the smallies are deep, from July on, Carolina rigs are good, and even better if you can locate the thin light grass in coves or cabbage weed beds. 1/2oz spider jigs are good too, but be prepared to loose lots of them in the rocky points.
Next time you go try the Center Harbor to Black Cat Is., three Mile and the Beaver Islands. Good luck Jeff
