It must of been something I missed? From what I have read I thought you was very helpful with me and Dhani013.

Is that a fish above the thermocline suspended off the drop? The rest of the arches fishes to? I can still can't get arches either. Could it be my transducer is installed at the back of boat like instructed? Also what does it mean when you get two bottom readings?

Thanks again Wayne. I'm going to keep a look out for it. The red is thermocline right? Why does run up hill like? What's the blue/yellow spot above it?

True about palomar? I did not know either.

How much is each tournament? Also is there any other cost?

Thanks Wayne. I'm still trying to get an ideal of this finder of mine. When the last time I've been to Huntingrun I was told it might been to early for it. I didn't see one for the Ni res when I went two weeks ago. I want to hit lake Orange I think there would be a great place to learn fishing deep. You been to the Orange lately?? How is the fishing there? Another question does a river like the Rappahannock have a Thermocline?

Believe me I listen to him all the time. Him and Sam both help influence me and helped me allot. Far as thermoclines go I'm still trying to get my Humminbird to pick it up.

I still go and try my luck best I can I even try some deep stumps with no luck there. I can't determind what's a channel to just the natural depth of a lake. And I'm trying all I can to understand my depth finder. Neither one sure isn't easy, lol.

I know that is something I've been trying to pick up on, fishing deep. I've been reading some articles on here but still can't understand the concept. I think the only time I caught anything deep I was trolling through with my rattle trap.

Mine are 7.1 ratio 6'6 MH PQ casting combo with 50# PowerPro(jigging), 6.4 ratio 7' MH Carbonlite casting combo with 12# XPS Flouro(cranking), 6.4 ratio Citori paired with a 7'3 H Carrotstix casting with 50# Suffix 382 (frog), 6'6 M Gander Mountain tournament spinning combo with 10# Trilene flouro (wacky, worm), spinning 7' M Citori paired with a Pflueger President XT with 10# Suffix flouro (chatterbait), spinning 6'8 M Carbonlite paired with a Pflueger Supreme with 10# XPS Carbongold flouro(shaky head).

I use to use a 6'6 MH PQ combo with 7.1 gear ratio. It had no problem bringing out a 4lb bowfin from the lilies on 30lb XPS braid. Now I'm using a 7'3 H Carrotstix with a 6.4 Citori with Suffix 832 50lb braid. Both are casting setups. Even with all the mix reviews on the Carrotstix I would say I'm trying to put a serious test, lol. So far nothing to test it but two lil guys I caught frogging. I wish I could recommend a rod or even a reel but my advice would be just bargain bin shop. The Curados are on clearance. My brother likes his Xfactor rod and I think they're still on clearance. On buying a clearance item though I would make sure the store still has a warranty on rod or reel for just incase. Maybe check the review on the Skeet Reese frog rod? I think it's $99.

I agree as well and went out and bought gippers just for them. Only mistake was not getting 1 with scale. Mine never seem to calm down. I'm trying to break my 4lb pb as well on a bowfin. Is it coincidence that my pb for bass is 4lb? Just caugt another 4lber bowfin on wacky. 2lbers are fun on 5 microlites as well.

I've been fishing AP Hill for last two years. You can't beat it for $20 a year. They must increase the fishing casue the new map I have have a load of new pond listings. 42 ponds, 4 lakes. I'm not sure how many are accessible by land or boat or even fishable. but last year map only listed 13 ponds and lakes. Lakes are the same from last year. You do have to do a background check this year.

If remember correctly Gander Mountain have GSX tournament for you price. I know the combo is on sale for $64 here. Nice combo at that though I know you just looking for rod. Also bargain bin shop at bps, gander, etc. My brother got the Xfactor from gander for $70 I think. Original price is $150. Last year I got a Citori rod from bps for $40 which they go for $99 and a Carrotstix for $80 I think, original price $149. So clearances pays off.

Me and my brother went to the Ni res.this past Sunday from 6:30 to about 3:00. I only manage land 3. 1 bass on a 3/8 white chatterbait, and 2 bass and rock bass I think on wacky. My brother had 2 pickerel lost 1 at boat hit my gold/black one knocker rattle trap and lost 1 bass in some trees right near the boat. I can't remember what worm he had Trigged. During the day I ended up losing my chatterbait and my brother lost my rattle trap and his spook. We also couldn't get nothing to hit in the lilies. Frogging doesn't seem to be happening for this year. So far just 2 lil guys on the year. I'm going to try and give Engineer pond a go tomorrow . It's located inside AP Hill base. I'm going to try some of the ponds I never tried a go.

Have anyone fished these if so what is your take on them? My Gander Mountain have them on sale for $2.99, 50% off. So I picked up baby bass and gold/black. Thanks.

I'm doing pretty good on a 3/8 white chattebrait with live magic shad, watermelon. I even landed a 3 lb cat from Rappannock with it. Other than that wacky junebug. I did land 2 on frog, ragetaill and ribbit, and 1 on a 3/8 black blue jig.

I put in at hopyard landing in King George since it's free. Hicks use to run $6, not sure now and Port Royal ramp I'm not sure what Buster's place charges? I would to love battle with an 8lb or above bowfin. By the way welcome to the site. (I see you joined in April.)

Right now just mornings. Last year I try night fishing with no luck. Last week I try the Rappahannock river. Just three dinks on wacky. I did land a 3lb cat on a white chatterbait and 4lb bowfin on wacky as well. The bowfin is the biggest catch for me this year. AP Hill hasn't been good for me at all. I'm going to try inside the base with some ponds I never tried yet. I might be going out Sunday not sure where. If with brother possibly the Ni.

If I may ask, How long did you use it for and did you like or have any problems with the one? To this day has it been used since becoming a back up?

x2. Same here got mine on sale as well. Mine is 7'6 heavy and Im really trying to put it to the test. Its my frog rod. Nothing big landed yet, but caught up a few times in the lilies.

The warm water really works? How long you run water for?

I prefer XPS Flouro for it's price. Though Im not a fan of the carbon gold. I'm really having a hard time keeping it on my spinning gear. I tried everything to stop it, KVD line conditoner to trolling line and reeling back in. Same wiith my Trilene as well but I as just spooled that line. That line is tangling up on me on the cast? I don' t recall to much promblems with Suffix. At least not now. I never tried any of the invisX or abrasX. But it's time to get myself another bottle of line conditioner.

This was my first time this year. Ever since my brother told me how they make you pay a $40 lauch fee now along with your year pass, I'm not going inless my brother goes since he's a resident. I'll stick to AP hill since I live in Bowling green. It's only $20 for the year, you just have to go through a background check. I've been meaning to come and put in at hopyard. I've never bass fish on a river. I was hoping to hit the Ni more often too lol.

Tackle express, I might be wrong but isn't that where hookingem works at?I thought he told me he works at a tackle shop but can't remember if thats the one.
