looks like Richmond area is on a warming trend of low to mid 50's all week! may try to slide out on sat somewhere!

Aluma-Bass, we could be getting heavy rains on Friday so check the weather before venturing out on Saturday.

If the cold front does move through the area the fish may have lockjaw on Saturday.

And the water may be stained from the runoff.

So if you go out please let us know where you went and if you caught anything.

My next time to fish will be in early March when I visit a Maryland client and will try to fish their pond, weather permitting.

Be safe and stay warm!

Endless, spring is a good time for spinnerbaits. Give 'em a try and be sure to post what you catch with them.

Finally saw the Plum Apple at Pecker's but they were $7 a package so I will wait for the sale. And you are correct, Green Top does not have them and neither does Gander Mountain.

Buzzbait fishing is a blast. I love to throw a buzzbait and watch those big splashes or light swirls when the fish take them.

You can throw a buzzbait any time of the day. I usually start out with a buzzbait or other topwater and may go back to the buzzbiat during the day from time to time.

Cavitrons are excellent so consider buying one in the future.

I listened to tow books on tape that I got for Christmas. The first is the Janet Evanovich Smokin' Seventeen which was very funny. That woman can write humor and fiction better than the President of the United States.

The second is the Glen Beck novel, Being George Washington. It was a fantastic look at how our country got started and how George Washington had to come to the rescue so many times.

I would recommend both books.

I still have a bunch to go and will start listening to them again when I hit the road in February.

Later.

Nitrofreak, yes, there are private tournaments on the hot side of Anna during the winter and through the spring.

No tournaments in the summer or fall.

I would fish more of the hot side tournaments but I HATE COLD WEATHER.

You find yourself standing in a bass boat freezing your fanny off and fishing 68* to 72* water, depending on how far from the reactor you are fishing. Just does not compute for me.

LOL !!!

I fish a lot on the public side or used to anyway before the gas prices shot up, I would fish near dike 3, water temp around 60 to 66*

There were many times I could not figure out why I would do this to myself especially launching from either Anna point or from Sturgeons.

Even though the water was warm, air temp was not, it made one heck of a boat ride but the fishing was worth it.

Yea I'm going to make sure to use those Spinnerbaits and Cavitron that is what I've been using for my buzzbaits along with a local maker S&W I think? This is my PB I caught last year on a Cavitron on 9/15 Looking to break it this year!!

[endless]

One of my favorite pictures Last 9/15 my wife's first bass on a Booyah buzzbait. She's hook as well.

[Sam]

Endless, now that is a beautiful bass you caught.

Pic would look nicer if you would smile!!!!!

The jig bite is getting pretty hot around here.As the water warms up a little, it will catch fire. Throw a flipping jig into any wood cover you can find, especially when it's next to deep water, a creek channel, or a hump. Let it sit for a while then VERY SLIGHTLY twitch it. Like just twitch the line, don't move the jig with the reel at all.

Hayden, pond fishing is fun but you really need to go out on a bass boat and hunt for the wild ones on lakes and rivers.

Just like going out with Mike hunting those catfish, but more challenging.

Are you going to play baseball this year?

[Aluma-Bass]

I agree pond fishing is fun ,but nothing like hitting public waters and finding them! Whole diff ball game!

[BASSclary]

Hit 70 so far this afternoon around my house, but have to work today

Will have to settle for a high of 60 tomorrow, but the bite should be better then, give it some extra time after the rains.

[Nitrofreak]

It looked pretty good there for a while today, until it got windy, still reached 66* last I saw today.

Im going to try and get the porta jon out and fish the rivers over here, maybe catch my first smallie!!!
