Tough day of fishing, finished 8th with around 7.5 pounds and 3 fish. First place was 5 fish for a little over 11 pounds.

a heavier weight

Sounds like a great time! I have a tournament there on the 22nd.

Welcome! I am also from the NoVa area!

I have the 7'7 M in the glass version coming next week, Ill give an update once I've fished with it.

Is yours the glass version?

I am thinking of purchasing a Daiwa Tatula for deep diving crank baits. If anyone has used Tatulas for cranking, what your thoughts are on the model that you use?

Good choice for a rod. Hopefully you have a fast gear ratio reel. I use a 7'2 MH Tatula with a Revo STX

I will PM you

I am about 10 minutes away from JMU.

Thanks Nitro! I also am in the Harrisonburg area, let me know if you ever want to fish together!

Ive talked to someone while fishing there who has caught multible 2-3 pound browns. Unfortunatley for me I dont have a boat or kayak to explore more of the lake.

The one I was fishing was across the lake from the dam. I saw it in about 6 feet of water while walking the shore line and decided to try fishing it. I have only fished the side where you park. Anyone know if there is any other shore access?

Anyone from the Harrisonburg VA area have any luck here? Ive been once fishing for bass from the shore. Caught two small ones flipping a jig near a fallen tree.

I used to catch decent size large mouths (2-3lbs) out of a golf course pond next to my house. The golf course ponds I fished werent pressured, so the bass would pretty much bite anything. I think the best thing to do would be to just throw a t-rig senko a few times and see if you get any bites. Also, if you see any bluegil around the shoreline, chances are that there are bass in there.
