The launch at the golf course is a good area to put in. The course has it gated and they charge you (I think it was $20 last year) for the key. I usually put in at Riverton, and use my trolling motor to get to the main river. It's pretty shallow with rocks in some areas. I have seen people running outboards (not sure if they were jet or not), I'm just not quite brave enough to do it yet. I usually fish the area during the week and don't see much traffic, but I've been told it gets pretty busy on wekkends.

Congrats.

I admit, I didn't think of this when I made my post. I honestly just wanted to share if I had won. I enjoy the guessing game and will play everytime I remember to log in, whether there is a great prize or not. I appreciate all that Glenn, the other moderators and all the great members put into and contribute to this site. Keep up the good work.

I didn't mean to offend you, if I did, Glenn. I just wanted to spread the wealth if it was my option.

Not an ex auto mechanic, but I agree. Don't need 2 reels, give the runner up the second one if I when.

I'm with ya here. Just started bass fishing last year, pretty much the same way as you. You tube and reading on here. I still don't think I'm doing most of the stuff "right", but occasionally it works and I catch something. I enjoy the time on the water whether I'm catching anything not, it's a lot more fun catching though. Eventually we will figure it out though.

Welcome

Thank you. I think I understand. Now I just have to apply to my lake. I do have a topo of it, so that will help.

I'm still new to bass fishing, so bear with me. Would the point near the hunting grounds be a good location also and why or why not? Not trying to hijack this thread, but a lake I fish is similar to this one and I've been trying to figure it out.

Welcome aboard to another Virginian. Lots of good info here.

I like both. I enjoy my time on the water by myself, but it is also good to have someone there when the fish aren't biting. Also, I'm not very good at it yet, and learn something almost everytime I'm on the water with someone.

The closest one I know of is in Winchester. Jake'S bait and tackle. The only other one I know of is the bait shop on Lake Frederick south of Winchester.

Congrats!!! Good luck with the new job.

You're not the only one. I initially had the same feeling, but the more you read, the more you find out that a lot of the information applies to yakkers, canoes and bank walkers alike. A lot of the fishing I do is also on a trolling only lake also.
