I finally joined the Website. I have been referencing this site frequently for a year now. Great people and great info for sure! I'm looking forward to participating.



I noticed many have aliases listed with their messages. Is there a way to have this appear automatically or is the proper way to type it in each message entry?



Thanks!

Thanks!



Jr ... I didn't notice a field to specify Alias in the profile. I did notice that the site somehow remembered the alias which I originally used creating this message. Do you have more specifics on where to specify alias?

Most of our real names appear under our pictures posted on the wall of the Post Office.

I fish a lot of local small bodies of water throughout the year. Big bodies which I frequent each year are Lake Champlain, and Lake Winnipesaukee. Champlain is at the top of my list ... awesome fishery. Usually get there for 5 days in the spring then a couple of weekends in the fall. In adition, My family and I typically spend our 2 week summer vacation on water up in the Sebago Lakes Region in Maine and usually stay on Brandy Pond which has access to both Sebago and Long Lakes.

Thanks for the preferences tips. For some reason I'm having a problem finding how to navigate to a page to set such preferences. Can you tell me the navigation steps?



Thanks

Paul,



Welcome to NTOWS. Oh yea....I heard that Lake Champlain won't be any good for bass fishing this year due to the fact that the ice isn't scheduled to melt until December!!! Last week I read that a truck went through the ice in St. Albans Bay. Maybe spring is just around the corner in a month or two!!!



Bob G.

 

[Carlos Hathcock III]

Hey Bob,

The dumping of vehicles through the ice is an annual spring event up North is it not



Carlos

 

[Paul P]

Cass -



For local water I fish Forge Pond in Westford quite a bit since I live about 2 miles from there. I decided I would fish the hell out of it until I feel like I have it figured out through all seasons.



Do you fish many local places? Where do you recommend?



Bob G. -



That ice better melt this spring else I'm going into hibernation for a year. Once you experience quality fishing like that, you can't live without it for more than 5 or 6 months.

 

[Marke Cicero]

It is an annual event. This is just the first time that it was Bob's truck. I hope you had you SOSpenders on....LOL

 

[Texas Transplant]

Welcome Paul to one of the better, if not the best, site on the Internet. People are pretty cool also.

Paul, I am 1.5 miles from the Merrimack River, Southwell Ramp and put in there during the week, never on the weekend can't stand the jet ski gangs that hang out there. I also like Mascopic Lake in Tyngsborough but again only go there during the week. Never tried Forge even though I am only a few miles away. What do you catch there?



Cass

 

[Donnie Matney]

Welcome



Git 'er done!!!

[Staci Matheis]

Welcome to the site, Paul!

 

[Paul P]

Hi Cass,



For a local pond, Forge has pretty good large mouth fishing. As you would expect, you can catch your share of pickerel as well. Plenty of sunfish, perch, and all that.



Access is via a gravel ramp on the side of the road. Access is not very convenient so you don't get many people other than fishermen launching at this lake. There is a decent number of houses on the lake so you do get your share of jet skis, etc on the weekend.
