Thai

if you're in I can get us a boat Dan, either the John boat or Xpress

yeah it was, I talked to you I think if you were the one casting and hitting the bridge lol!

Just so there is no unfair advantage the proper course would be to suggest certain bodies or water and randomly generate the choice

why not stock florida strain and northern and let it happen naturally? F2 Tigers

It seems like the key is finding the submerged structure. We should do some research and try to defeat that lake one of these weekends, maybe next?

Not always lol and I'd trade those fish for your hooksets that could knock out a 6th grader cold lol!

Yea we made it up to the discharge Fished today with Dan at some ponds new and old and were able to pull about 10 fish out with a few very decent ones

do you still have the packaging?

You tick me off Steve......your gear is so nice..... ;D If you can afford it I say go for it man, and I kind of want to go fish 4 mile run again tmr and if I were you I'd bring something to throw spinners/rattle traps and worms or jigs

Are you going to come out tmr Dan?

I'm actually starting to like fishing the dirty water, with clarity down presentation I suspect wouldn't matter as much which means throwing reaction lures would be the ticket and you cant go wrong with Senkos, and all the extra water flow would stir up the baitfish and might make the bass want to feed more... one of my better days at riverside was when it had just rained and water was dirtyyyyyyyyyyyyy. And I agree with you about the fishing from shore thing, you never really know in a situation like this whether it would be favorable to the fisherman or the fish so going through all the trouble of taking a boat out might be bust but you can never go wrong with shore fishing since you can always pack it up and move on. I do plan on going out tomorrow too and if you would like I'd love for you to come fish up here with us

Checked out 4 mile run today and caught one that was over 2 and a blue cat, both on spinners, had a few misses and would deff head back there soon. Water was pitch black, and fish were boiling on topwater

High pressure yes but 90% of the angler who sample Burke lake don't know what they are doing...

I don't mean to be unwelcoming but there are reasons that I don't give people fishing spots until I've met them. Believe me, I used to send my share of PMs to new members about spots and then POOF they vanish from the community. It's nothing personal, it's just I've decided that I'm not going to waste my time with members until they've proven they are going to be worthwhile contributors or good people. We're brothers. We're happy and singing and were colored....Gimmie a high 5!

there are some big fish in burke, seen one that must of been close to 8 once, the problem is they are very wise and only come out during the spawn...

Im in the same boat as you, and the 16lber from Connor was a fluke, that lake isnt known for large fish at all

Thanks Shim, and potomac bass really dont get very big, the best bet of pulling a record would be from the ponds and lakes like Briery or Sandy

If I remember correctly you've only been back in this area for a short time and those fish aren't from the Potomac, lets see you pull that here. Here's a 7lber from the Potomac caught on a 3/8th Spinnerbait

I think Qui-Gon JinJig is taking this thread too seriously. However, the whole apples and oranges thing. This is all i'm trying to say and i don't want it to sound insulting. Some fathers play catch with their sons. Other fathers put 3" senkos on their boy's fishing line, and afterwards take them to dance class to become a ballerina. All i'm saying is lilhuntinggeek is a dancer. That's all. What? What did i say? So I'm guessing your father took you out to play catch like this major leaguer?

After watching this I've considered a fly setup

Well lucky for you most of next week will be good weather. I plan on making the most of this warm weather. BTW how was your BPS trip? Whats the damage?

Don't confuse this with your thread, our post are full of substance ;D And so that this post isn't fluff, whos planning on going out Sat or Sunday?

That's very doable!

Ban J Francho for started a thread without a point ;D Unban him for not starting one here lol!

Money will put people off, a just for bragging right tourney will do.
