Hi Mike... thanks for the additional information. I'll try to help you out!

Paugus Bay has some great fishing spots... and I love to fish it in the summer... mostly because the fishing is excellent... but also a beer at the Naswa Beach Bar is never a bad thing! (it won't be open next week, however).

What kind of boat do you have??? Do you have a winnie chart?? (Get One!!!) While you could certainly catch fish in Paugus Bay that weekend, I suspect you could do better if you could run up to some areas in the central and northern sections of the lake.

KPW mentioned the Barber's Pole... It lies between Tuftonboro Neck and Cow Island... If you could make it up there (it's a bit of a haul.. and potentially some decent waves.. depending on the wind) you'd have *lots* of spots to fish. The rocky shoals around Cow, Ragged, Little Bear, Dow, Whortleberry, and all the other islands around there will be loaded with prespawn smallies.

Again... throw suspending jerkbaits! The smallies will crush them.

If you want to stay a little closer to Paugus bay, head across to the bays north of Merideth Bay.... the ones on each side of Stonedam Isalnd.. lots of rocky shorelines where the smallies are sure to be up and hitting.

Have a great time up at the big lake..... I'd rather fish there than *anywhere*!!

Cheers...
