Ice Fishing Paugus Bay 1st Timer - Location Advice?

suge · 02-11-2015, 04:12 PM

I figured with all this cold weather and snow if you can't beat them you might as well join them. With that said I attended an ice fishing class at the Laconia Community Center hosted by NH Fish & Game and I am ready to give it a shot. I have the manual auger, tips ups, safety gear etc... and am wondering where I should try and setup the holes this weekend on the Bay? Most convenient end is down by Big Island. Does anyone know of a spot and is willing to share where I should try and setup for a few hours? Forecast calls for very low temps so I am not sure how long I will last w/out any sort of shelter from the wind.

Thanks in advance!

I would drill a hole directly over the fish, makes it easier to catch them.

Actually stop by AJ's bait or another bait shop, buy some shiners and ask them where the hot spots are and what they are hitting on. Good luck.
