Thanks for all the help guys.

hmmmmm

Lake Mercer Occoquan Reservoir

great post fishchris.

Wow, thats pretty cool. Are they usually really skinny? I caught another one there yesterday about half the size but still very skinny. Maybe something about the water conditions there that make it possible for them to thrive?

congrats dude!!

Yea, my initial guess was white perch, but i've never seen one, so I couldn't confirm. I have caught bass there, thought I had a pic of one the same day, but I guess I didn't bring it to work on my flash drive. They love the mepps black fury. Thats what I always catch them on, when nothing else works. All those bass are the same size though. I've never caught anything larger than 1lb. Looks like some selective harvesting is in order. I had caught one yesterday, and he gave me a hard time while I was taking the hook out. I told him if I enjoyed eating fish, he would have been fried up.

Sorry if this is a no brainer, but I caught this guy this weekend at lake Mercer. At first when I reeled it in I thought it was a sick bass because it was so skinny but then I noticed the vertical stripes. Quickly check VDGF and did not see anything that looked like this guy.

X2!!! ;D ;D

what a great place to fish, looks awsome. Nice fish also.

I agree 100% except a very large majority of the spanish/latino population in my area do not even speak english.

What happens J is that water from Bull Run and treated waste water from the UOSA Runs into the Occoquan Res Where Fairfax County pulls its drinking water. At times the water discharged from UOSA contributes 10% to the Occoquan, and at times of drought upto 90%. Kinda weird knowing that your drinking water comes from treated waste water, but according to reports the water discharged from UOSA is cleaner than the water tested in the Bull Run prior to meeting the UOSA runoff.

;D thats great.

;D ;D ;D

yea, I was gonna say, I saw that in the bass pro Catalogue. I was thinking about getting on for one of my favorite fishing spots.

They all look great!! I love the blue craw color.

knyuck knyuck, I gotta get outta here, all this blue and silver is making me dizzy.

I woulda been like "CHECK YO' SELF FOO" naw, you did the right thing. Any time you wear your team, your gonna get razzed a lil, just shake it off. Take it from a Redskins fan. ;D

yea I was pretty young at the time, But that was pretty brutal. I met Joe at the airport when I was 5 years old, wearing his jersey. I don't remember, but my parents always remind me "Remember that time you met Joe Theisman?"

easy there, I can go all day ;D ;D ;D

I wish there was a green jealous smilie because I would use it.

x2 for boondock saints.

OMG you guys are killing me.
