I have broken 2 Veritas. One my daughter broke in a door, the other trying to horse a snag. Since they were bought at Gander Mtn. I was able to take both in for replacement. No fuss no muss!

A drop of crazy glue on my leader/line knot gives me piece of mind even though it isnt necessary.

Sturgeons and down lake. never were able to put together any kind of pattern but the jerkbait has been working well lately. I caught mine on a fluke.

fished cold side of Anna Sat. in the VAO tourney. There were 4 sacks over 14 lbs. with the winning bag at 15.5lbs. We caught 3 fish, one being my best fish on Anna to date at 5.03 lbs. It was a nice day to be on the water!

Hey Jeepcrazy! Email sent!

Thanks for the report! That place is tough. Sounds like going after those large panfish might be a good alternative for me next time there.

How did you all do? Did you happen to notice the water temp?

Fished fri/sat eves and had a combined 1 dink to show for it. Fri was Egppts Bend on the Shenendoah. Water was 50ish. Threw jerks, cranks in 4-8 ft. Nada. Only taker came on wood with a Rage Craw on a jig head. Sat went to Lake Frederick. Very clear, 49deg. Jigs on main lake points, chatterbait, jerkbait, swim senko on a jig, cranks, NADA! What am I doing wrong or not doing? Been a frustaiting start >

tough windy day on lake f. 1 taker on a LC pointer in <10 .

Thanks BrianinMD. We will give it a go and post our results. Probably wont be til next week though.

BrianinMD, I plan on hitting the Occoquan with my girls to target the Yellow Perch. Can you give me any info or pointers to help make it a successfull trip. I have never targeted this species. Thanks, Rick in VA.

What are some of the cold water techniques you guys are using? I have been one of those guys "doing other things" in the winter but it sounds like maybe I am missing out. Did go out on the Potomac Thurs. with the nice weather after Blue Cats. Caught 3, the largest being 25.5lbs. Thanks

it makes for good backing under braid!

Also, how is it rigged, straight or weedless? Thanks

would somebody please post a pis of this curly tail worm? Is it simply that, any 5" curly tailed worm? Sorry but want to better understand. Thanks

What Shimmy said. I fish there fairly often. If you take your bass boat just keep the motor up. No prob. There is a tackle shop there also called the minnow bucket. You can call them as well. Good luck. Last time out had a good early am bite, a mid morning lull, then caught a solid 4# off of a point around noon.

that part of the river is not tidal and I dont think we have had enough rain (yet?) to muddy it up too bad. Just my .02

Steve, were you fishing from shore at whiele Ave? Thanks, Rick

whacky rigging a 4" senko, casting upstream in a very clear/shallow Shenendoah River has been producing well for me lately
