Pickerel near Hudson

Pickerel

On Robinson Road there is an area where you can park on the side and climb down a small hill to fish. Also where we caught the fish just past that little side of the road hill there is woods you can walk through to get to more remote areas. Watch out during hunting season.

  • a mixture of ice tips using minnows , power eggs( can't tell you the color) and a mixture of lures .....
  • Oatmeal is the bait of choice from the locals. Simon and I also brought feed corn, boilies, chick peas, a few dough baits and a grits based pack bait.

    all action was from our Dat food boilies ( pineapple and strawberry) and the grits based pack bait. Oatmeal produced one good run, and a few nibbles.

  • Feed corn and dat food were on the menu. We also tried chick peas, canned corn, luncheon meat, a coupld of pack/dough baits.

    We chummed a mix or bread crumb, hemp meal, pineapple soda and other such ingredients.

  • We had many things on hand, oatmeal, boilies, chick peas, feed corn, birdseed and grits based pack/method mixes, dog food, maple peas...

    In the end most fish were caught on Chick peas, followed by Dat food (strawberry) with one on Simon's pineapple birdseed "cake" boilie.
  • Much like many of the spots along the Merrimack we have been hitting. Chick peas and Dat food have constantly out-performed everything else.
