Thanks Wayne.

I will be fishing Sandy River Res. for the first time on Monday. Can anyone tell me how the fishing has been lately? Any tips or advice would be appreciated. We usually fish Briery but thought we would give Sandy a try this year. Thanks all.

I went last year and had a blast. I got to meet and talk with Denny Brauer, he is a great guy. I also picked up a JB custom rod and some new jigs. I will be there again this year for sure!

The Occoquan is where I caught mine. I have only fished that area a few times but every time there was at least one snakehead caught. rsb77 a 16 pounder is a monster, WTG. Does anyone know what the record snakehead is for the state? I just wonder how big they will get in the river.

Thanks guys. Yeah, this thing put up a huge fight. It was quite a battle. I hooked it real close to the boat in about a foot or so of water. We used a net at the boat but it ate right through it. The weed bed we were fishing was full of snakeheads. My buddy caught one about 5 min after I did. You could see them rolling everywhere. Good fight but a real bummer when you are trying to bass fish.

Just caught this 14 pounder the other day with a Rage Tail Anaconda.

I use KVD L&L on every rod every trip. I have noticed a difference on every line I have tried it on.

Rage Craw for me and I use it all year long (except when the water is hard).As Big O mentioned, Moaner Hooks are great. In fact I only use Moaner hooks for my soft plastics. If I could only have I type of bait to fish with the rest of my life it would be the craw.

I have a 6'6" mh/f and I like it a lot. The sensitivity is good, especially when fished with braid.

The fishing was tough. The fish were suspended in about 10 feet of water. I got a few on a swim jig with a baby craw trailer. My buddy picked up a 6.6. we worked very hard for the fish we got.

Thanks Wayne.

Hi Briery gang, I am heading to Briery tomorrow for an annual trip I do with some fishing buddies. I was just wondering if any of you have been there lately? Last year I got my PB at Briery (and it was a trophy). Thanks in advance for any info you may give.

Rage Craw all day long!

Good luck out there Red. Let us know how you do. I like the name Big O has for that rig. "Rage Rig" is what I will call it from now on.

Red, I love to keel weight the Space Monkey. I have had good results with swimming it through submerged timber. I just do a slow retrieve and bounce it off of the limbs or stumps and the bass just slam it. I recommend Moaner Hooks.
