They open at 6am if anyone else was interested. Didnt have a whole lot of luck yesterday, ended up with two small largemouths and a pickerel for the day. Didnt get my hook set on another that wrapped around some reeds (or whatever the heck it is that litters the shoreline there) prior to his escape and had a couple others that went after a sexy frog but didnt get hooked. Fun day as always though. Beds all over the place that have been vacated.

Anyone know the hours of the boat rental down there by chance?

Was using 15lb Power Pro braid today and had a heck of time with the San Diego for the first few tries. I use this not pretty much exclusively on flurocarbon and mono but it took a few tries to get used to it on braid. Easier to do a uni for me.

Poo. Fishing near the dam any good? I need to buy a boat.

Are there boat rentals at Briery? I havent been able to find anything about it so I'm leaning towards no. Was really hoping to head down tomorrow but wont do it without a boat

Yea, that sucked but it was still nice to get out on the water and take in all that is nature.

Looks like this has kind of petered out. Recently move into the area and appreciate the comments for sure.

Hit Hunting Run with a buddy today and fished for about eight hours without catching any bass. Buddy caught a pickerel but I didnt get a darn thing. Was pretty windy and we had a really tough time keeping the rental boat in an area that we could fish.Gonna try to hit Briery tomorrow morning; hopefully it goes better. Edit: forgot to mention that the water was quite clear today. Visibility was about five feet.

Very cool.

Dang, I havent had 58 in my life lol.

Were you able to figure anything out? Looking for more areas to fish.

Recently moved to VA and was planning on hitting Hunting Run on Friday with a buddy of mine. I've never been and was curious about where I should head and what to expect? Looks like a cool area.

I just picked up my first baitcaster (Lew's Tournament SK which is similar to the Tournament from what I understand) and have been pretty happy. I've been able to get it dialed in and only had a single backlash. I have no way to compare it apples to apples to another caster but it has been newbie friendly for sure. It is quite smooth but with that said, everything is plastic so reliability down the road may be an issue. Has been well worth the $100ish so far.

On sale for about $30 over the Abu Garcia at Cabela's right now.

Signature pic would make a great keychain!
