Yea, that's pretty crazy. I have noticed quite a few more of them on the res this year. At least you know where good concentrations of bait are!! I've rolled up to spots where they are and caught fish!!

Right now they are probably gorging on shad. They will move on to the river later, hopefully..........

Yes

27+, 25+, 23+ were 1,2,3 and a few 6's brought in. Tough day for sure. We only had 3 for a little over 9lbs. Didn't help that I had 4 come off that felt VERY nice!! 3 of which happened in the first 20 or so minutes! Kinda set the tone for me for the rest of the day!

Well I appreciate that! It really is a fun place to fish!! There are some constants about it but the nice thing is you can always learn something with every visit!!

I'm just ribbin' ya!!

Nitro557, what are thooooosssseeee! Your footwear, I can't stop trying to figure those things out??!!

Me too!! April is pretty booked for me but will see if I can sort through some things to make a day happen!! You could always try for a day during the summer. We could go out of lake ridge. Plenty of fun deep water summer opportunities close to the ramp! Would love for you to be able to experience a fun football jig bite or my secret bait!!

It's one thing if it were a tournament but we are talking about going out and having some fun!! That forecast, is not fun!!! I could go out and grind just because I want to try and stay on fish, but I want you (Sonny) to be able to enjoy it and not have it be a chore to fish! It's a big drive for you to run out here to only get beat up by the weather and beat down by the res!! Let's see if we can put together another day that makes more sense!!

Well, that sucks! It becomes an absolute wind tunnel down through bull run with wind like that!! I'm pretty sure it would be just short of miserable to try and fish up there with that kind of wind!

Fishing cures a lot of things!!!

I've been following some blacksmiths and knife makers on Instagram and some of the knives some of these guys are showing are true works of art!! My pops got me a couple cutlery knives from a guy in Lakeland FL and they are so nice. He was on the Forged in Fire?? show on discovery channel or history channel, can't remember! Wish I could do stuff like that!! Looks pretty cool!

Let me guess, you partied with oompaloompas........

Alright guys, it's getting close to April 2 and Nitro will be coming out to fish with us on the res! The plan is to launch at Bull Run. Anyone that want to come on out and meet up, please speak up so we can get a plan together to arrange a spot to meet and greet so to speak! If you have a pass and a key, we will be trying to get on the water a little after 7am or so. If you just want to run up the res, we will be fishing around the splits area and can figure out a time and place to maybe sit and float for a lunch break!!

Or, just enough knowledge to be dangerous to himself and others!!

He's obviously intimidated by you! If he continues to not be able to take what he gives and can't take a hint, he's fair game!!!

Are you his superior or a coworker??

Thanks Sonny, I have no doubt fishing will be very good for that weekend!! If we don't get any torrential rain between now and then, there will be some spawning going on for sure!! I was skeptical that the fishing would be anything close to what we had because of the big change in the weather but a lot of fish moved up during the week and were committed to staying put that's for sure. There were some fish caught deeper but a majority of the fish we fount were in fairly shallow water albeit very close to deep water!!

Had a pretty solid pattern working, caught fish all day, just couldn't find the giants needed to make a difference!! Had a little over 20lbs and missed a bunch! Probably caugh close to 30 fish with only a few that didn't measure! If it's just keepers you want to catch there are plenty of them! You have to work a little harder and cover a lot of water to get the good ones!!

Quite the opposite of tough!! Tournament record broken! 6 fish for over 31 pounds, half of the participants over 20 pounds!! You needed over 25 pounds to take any money!!

That little rocky point..........

Slo, I see a telescope for the office in your future!!

Nice!! I'm sure you will have some company in there!!! It all looks good right now! I can never tell from pics! Just trying to give you a hard time!!!

Nice!! Pig for sure!! Stay out of the fingers!!!!!!!!!!!

Pics or it didn't happen........
