Thai

Thanks, I think I'll go stick my head in the sand now....

I'm sorry but did you just praise your own idea?!?!? LOLZORS! ;D By the way... PICK ME PICK ME PICK ME!

How do you know it was a bass if you never got to see it?

28

Gah! I need to go so bad I'm envious! Yo we are going fishing Thursday *yes I just volunteered you Thai I figured it wont be a problem * Want to go out? go out fishing yes, go out out NO WAY!

lol, i took a semester or two in high school. I remember a few things. So how long are you going to be MIA for?

The only time I ever caught fish on a dropshot rig it was with 3" senkos!

I beg to differ sometimes fish dont want to exert energy to chasedown or tackle larger baits but the sight of an easy lunch in the form of a 3" senko might peak their interest

I remember the warmer days and actually hammered the fish. Today is overcast and low pressure on top of the warm temp, the fish should be moving out of the cover to feed so today would be the day to hammer them

same number right? Slip gun and I are going fishing tmr so ill give you a ring

Steve usually you can catch Striper on spinners,poppers, and rattle traps all day at the mouth of Pomonkey bro

ahhhh cmon Steve dont call me a pro lol, and im told you man sometimes the fish will only hit a slow rolled spinnerbait! I deff prefer it to senko fishing though. Tomorrow I think im going to go explore some ponds I've never fished, see if I cant get em on a jig or spinnerbait Easy, pal. Sometimes that's all they will hit! Want to fight about it?!?!? 8-)

I do have insurance , I got it thru that guy from the insurance forum, Bob. Covers everything but I dunno if its even worth reporting. I can get a nice used prop for 200 bux or so. Plus who knows how long it could take to do a claim, I wanna new prop asap. I was about to get one anyways to pick up a few mph. I could just repair my prop, its not trashed but it has a chunk thats folded pretty bad. I will probably sell it as is or repair it and keep it for a spare. Its just a shooter SS prop, kinda ole skool. Might be the original prop actually. Oh and Im using johnson oil which is made for my motor. I think Im gonna take my boat in just to make sure everything is cool. I should do that anyways. It runs great, planes fairly fast and hauls *** but its better to be safe then sorry. I wonder if the extreme angle my boat was sittin at had anything to do with it stalling. Maybe a clogged fuel filter ? I ran out of gas the other day on the water and then switched over to my other tank which was full. So maybe I sucked all the junk out of the bottom of the tank up when I ran out ? That could clog the fuel filter right ? Those ramps at reagan airport are the steepest and worst I have ever seen. It was very difficult to load my boat there compared to pohick bay. Thats the last time I ever launch out of there for sure. Yikes :-[ Oh and Thai always catches fish, but today for once I caught more then him. I can get used to that I fished for half an hour, 6 fish, so a fish every 5 minutes How long were you out for again?!?!? lol!

caught 6 striper at pomonkey creek right before dark. 2 on spinnerbait, one on rattle trap, and 3 on a popper biggest was 24"

fishing is allowed at the sanct. its shallow enough too wade out in the middle, best bet is in during the warmer months, there are some big fish to be had there as far as fishing little hunting from a canoe heres a spot you can launch from 38.728227,-77.082622

70 degrees.... I'm so down if you have room just give a call tomorrow night and we'll go from there!

the bridge for about an hour and a half

This is a first for me and as much as I hate to say it....I got skunked fishing the potomac this morning.....

yea sorry i was thinking of little hunting creek since you mentioned Riverside Park. anyways I've been to riverside park once, didn't have any luck . so you are allowed to fish Little Hunting? it looked like it was private to residents or something I know theres a trail on the left of the bridge, never checked the other side where it feeds into Little Hunting. The mouth side where water feeds into the creek has been the most productive part of riverside for shore fishing this year. Fish the side closer to Mount Vernon, you have access to more holes on that side.

Ill answer that with this. " Got room for another crazy guy and his dog?" LOL! Finding a lake with warm water discharge somewhere closer might be a little more doable!

Its practically all private access and the few places I know that aren't, suck this time of year. The mouth of the creek is the best right now

colder water deff, but some places the plants have been able to live a little longer due to good circulation and nutrients

Bass love clear water esp on the potomac. Stained water isnt nearly as bad as chocolate water tho. Once the water gets dark then the sun stops hittin the grass and it dies. Thats why the places with clearer water right now have greener grass and way more fish. They love the oxygen in the green stuff. I noticed when I took thai to my grassbed at fort washington all the grass was dead and the water was brown. Total waste of time. I only fish the clear and stained stuff. And I know thai said the water was stained out there but infact alot of it was brown also. I'm gonna give belmont bay a try since its a mile or two from leesylvania. Im not gonna keep payin to launch out of pohick when I have an annual pass to lessylvania. It's addin up fast. Thats not the reason why the water was muddy at Ft. Washington that one day, i believe it has to due with lack of water circulation, lack of circulation means nutrient rich silt wouldnt be deposited in quantitys that creek mouths get like the mount vernon area. Which might also be why the grass in alot of places are dead and brown while mount vernon is still alive. And without live plants the natural filtration process is slowed. As far as light reaching the plants, at depths we see in the potomac light esp in the 5000k-10000k spectrum, (which is what freshwater plants need) wouldnt have a problem penetrating murky water.

Beautiful fish Paul! Shes so pretty and fat! What did she weigh? im guessing high 6-low 7's? Keep at it brother!
