A.Do?

I bet no one on here could even guess how much the fish in your avatar weighs Jake. I know cuz I weighed it and took the pic. By bigbasskillers standards it's a 6 pounder 8-) is it 4.5lbs? Anyways, I think the guy gets the point. back on topic! Also, stop mixing up bigbasskiller and bigbasshunter! Killer is the OP and just looking for some info!

I'm down! I'm just down the parkway near the mall. I'll pm you my info. just let me know when and where and i'll try my best to make it!

Nice fish! I still haven't been able to pull a bass from burke so mad props to you!

It was real nice meeting you DC! I'm glad you were able to catch some fish. Did you take any pictures?

Amazing catch Wayne! Just bought a new depth finder, can't wait to try this lake again!

Also, how is the river down there? is it pretty safe for kayaks and canoes?

pm sent

I'm comin' with DC!!!!

Everyone is welcome to come! the more the merrier!

My friday just opened up where we meeting?

Andy, that's amazing that the water temps are up that high from last weekend! On saturday, water temps topped off at 62*. I'm glad you were able to pick up a few.

lol! Does your wife know about your fetish? jk!

Yer, what dan said. you don't have to be registered or contribute any info to take info from this site. I have a kayak

Wish I could make it out! Good luck though. Let us know how you do! Thanks Jake.

Can't PM yet, haven't reached the post count, but sounds like you had decent luck. I usually catch some fish, nothing to write home about, on X-raps out there. A buddy and I attempted to walk to the d**n from Mt. Hope last Friday, bad idea. All the trees are still down from the monster snow, we got halfway and said the heck with it and each of us pulled off 5+ ticks when we got back to the truck. "Boat" comes Tuesday. With a friend and I splitting the cost it was only 40 a man, so if it doesn't work out we're only out a few bucks. I won't have a problem just keeping it in the basement and taking it out on non-fishing excursions. New Abu Garcia baitcaster comes late this week, so I'm sure I'll have some serious practice to do. Maybe we can all get together at some point and see what we can do. Today, we went out to the lakes in Reston. Audoban (sp?), Anne, etc. No luck. Finally found a spot we were doing pretty well at and a group of 10 people with dogs just comes up on me and my friend and has their dogs run out into the water while our lines were still in. How rude do you have to be? I've been having pretty good success at all ponds/lakes with 3/8 oz. Mepps. Silver/Blue's. We caught several 4lbers and a few 2lbers with the biggest being 6lbs, so I think we did fairly well. 8-) Get those post counts up! I'd post pix and more details but i know the lurkers (I see you! ) are watching

A few buddies and I were out on beaverdam today. The problem with beaverdam is that EVERYTIME I go there, it's windy. In an inflatable you're going to get blown everywhere unless you get yourself a trolling motor or ghetto rig a hammer as an anchor : haha. It was tough fishing but we made out with a few nice fish! pm me for pix and details

Nice pickerel! I doubt the blood was from any fish it ate though.

Very good question! There have been a bunch of times where lipping is required to get the hook out (for me at least)! Also, lippers vs lipping with hands are different in my eyes. A lipper can be used with the fish still in the water and requires the smallest amount of contact with a fish.

I've never done it but was just looking up a topic on it when I saw this post! What are the known cons of bed fishing?

BPS 100% hasn't been too bad to me. STAY AWAY FROM VANISH. P-line copoly snaps a lot on me... I actually like fluoro cuz I like fishing stuff weightless and it helps get my lighter lures down a bit.

Happened a few days ago. I'm not always banned when I'm on my iphone, just the last few evenings I've tried to get on. During the day it seems fine.

I actually use my iphone a lot to check the forums so when I got the "You're banned" message I was pretty shocked. This sucks. Now what do I read while I'm on the can?

I prefer smaller tackle. I use a small reel on a ML rod with fast tip. That's just me though. Braid is fine if you have a leader, you'll just break off at the leader. Flukes are great too 8-)

Thank you shimmy but it's nothing compared to the fish you catch on the regular! Thanks for the kind words.

I believe a lot of the fish are bedding now so it's going to be tough to get a bite unless you sight fish and irritate the bass into biting a lure. There are lots of places around us with quality bass but they're all pretty pressured. Good luck!
