Bongos

I invite my friends all of the time. I've actually got 3 of my friend into fishing this summer (rods,lures, licenses etc.) I can tell you this, I feel good when I hear that they are going fishing or they mention the one that jumped off. I say to them "throw the line back in and get'em". It's nice to share pics and stories and they thank me for getting them started.

I haven't fished the river yet but I plan to at some point. As of right now it doesn't look like I'm going to get a chance to fish this weekend. anyway good luck out there this weekend.

It annoys me when I hear about people keeping the fish. I've caught plenty of fish this summer and If I was to keep what I caught I would be sick of fish. I enjoy catch and release because one I have no interest in eating and two someone else someday will have the enjoyment of hooking a nice size fish. I will say that I got 3 of my buddies into fishing this summer and I'm proud that because i get a message or call from them about a fish that they caught and how awesome it was. I'm wondering what to do in the fall now with it getting dark earlier and my weekend being busy that I have no time to get out there. I usually fish after work and can get a good 2-2.5hrs a day. I think I'm just ranting now so I'll stop. Have a good day!

Thanks man! What ponds have you fished? I was off of 50 on Avion Pkwy.

I caught this hawg yesterday in a corporate pond in Chantilly. 4.5lbs according to my scale. That was it for the day but it was worth it. Was only out there for 2 hours. My personal best so far.

I think this is the place. http://alltrails.com/trail/us/virginia/hemlock-overlook-regional-park

I've heard about Hemlock, I haven't had the chance to make it out there. I'll add it to my list of places to fish.

Bank fishing in Reston yesterday. It swallowed the hook but I got it out and he lives to get caught another day.
