White Perch On New Hampshire’s Winnipesaukee
New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee is a large glacial lake at 45,440 acres with a maximum depth of 200 feet. This uniquely clear lake has a large center section called the Broads and a series of bays that stretch for miles in all directions, creating 183 miles of continuous shoreline. The lake is home to celebrities, politicians and professional athletes. It is also home to some of the largest white perch in North America, and a lot of them.

Wintertime Crappie On Lake Lanier
I’m up before sunrise enjoying a hot mug of coffee, bundled up for the cold. I’m at Clarks Bridge boat ramp on north Georgia’s Lake Lanier, getting set for some crappie fishing. Today I’m joined by Bob and Brenda Rice, publishers of Atlanta/North Georgia edition of The Angler Magazine, North Georgia Crappie Angler’s Club President Woodie Malone and club member Ron Cobley. These guys love crappie and know all the best spots to catch these plentiful and tasty panfish.
