Well as the topic states, I was interested in what everyone goes to when everything they seem to be throwing fails them. For me personally I would have to say a 1-2inch white grub on a 1/16 oz jig head. Seems to catch anything and everything.

i ready for the warm weather. all this cold weather was doing no good for me. cabin fever was beginning to set in, but this week is gonna be a great time to get some fishing done

White grubs are like dynamite for anything. Today my old man and I went up and caught a bowfin (6lbs) couple crappie one big shad bunch of bass and two grass carp (12lbs each roughly!) I cannot believe how much action is already happening with the winter we had. Gotta love the action in these local ponds. The pond itself is about 6acres but no deeper than 4ft in its deepest spot. Awesome fishing back in there

Went out today with a buddy and were slaying the fish at a little pond. We started throwing a little two inch white grub (tail dipped in chartruese spike-it) and the bass were tearing them up. Caught about 40bass all together within 2hrs everything from 1/2lbs on up to a decent 6lber. Anyone in the Richmond area heading out tomorrow with this awesome weather?

carrington and chris... whenever you all plan on hitting up rooty gimmie a call. i aint ever had too much luck there, but have not fished it often

Went out yesterday to a private pond in the richmond area. Wind was pretty rough but I did manage to land one bass after about 45min of fishing. Water temp slowly rising though

I know you said bass lures, but I seem to have lots of luck fishing got-cha lures. I catch blues flounder and spanish and king mackeral of piers or in the surf.

This area got a swift current or could one use a kayak on this stretch. I frequently go to belle isle and ancarrows but never ventured that far downstream

xlfish where were you cast netting the shad? just out of the launch area?

Whereabouts were you fishing the river and with what? I went out last weekend by maury street to no avail

any details about this or links about this? I am about an hour away from Fredricksburg and am debating about heading up there for this and maybe do some fishing.

The lake furthest from rooty I have pulled out only a couple bass maybe 2# was the best and a little catfish. They not nearly as good as rooty

I own a pair of costa triple tail green mirror 580lense and have not been let down. I use them for mostly lakes and rivers, but they also work good as a pair of glasses to wear around and do work in. They are comfortable and don't hurt even after several hours of wear.

Great to hear rooty is starting to produce. Water still cold, but I managed to pull out two little bass out of a neighborhood pond. Nothing big, but good to see they starting to come out.

I pulled out a 9lb cat out of my lake while fishing a 1in white grub on a 3ft mini ultralight built for brim. It makes for one heck of a fight. But if you going river fishing make sure you have some heavy gear. I fish the James and fish upwards of 90lbs are not unheard of. I myself have only landed a flathead of 30lbs 2oz. Whenever I go down there I use a 1oz weight with a circle hook with shad or bluegill on a 8ft surf rod. It does the trick!

Any word on innsbrook? I was out at a neighborhood lake called wilde lake and had two hits, but nothing landed

carrington or anyone in central va... where in the area do you pick up strike king 3x? every place i go they seem to elude me

Who all is going out?

chris man thats no fun ha. when you get a new car let me know and we need to hit up wilde lake and all those ponds. maybe head down to the flatwater or something

Now that the weather is starting to make a turn for the better, where are you all heading out?

i thought this thread had died. is a weekend trip still in the gameplan?

When we looking at doing this?

I would be down for a canoe/kayak trip come spring time

I feel you Chris. This snow has given me a severe case of cabin fever as well ha. This spring better get here quick so i can get out and test all the new gear for 2010

I have seen many different techniques but that sounds awesome. I just store them in old shoe boxes sorted by type and when I head out I take out the colors I want for the day and conditions
