    Contrary to previously published messages, Northern Snakeheads do NOT have to be killed in Virginia waters. Since all of Pohick Bay is located in Virginia, you may keep, kill or release snakeheads cau

What can I say I'm one special kinda guy!!

 

Forgot to explain yourself Nitro? I will say this "don't believe him on how many fish he tells you he has caught". lol

 

I'm timmid and shy, thats all I have to say bout that !!

OK... here's the take on Nitro...

 

Hmmm... let's be delicate here...  well.... OK... just kidding...

 

Nitro is a super guy.  So down to earth you could say he was "grounded".  lol  He has more fun making everyone else have a good time.  Unselfish?  Selfless?  Not sure what word fits.  I do know one word that fits... Gracious.  When he came down here, he made my Wife and Daughter feel as if they had shook hands with Ron Reagan.  He praised them so much that they didn't stop talking about him for days.  I even went fishing with a buddy Saturday... they though Nitro was coming back down and were disappointed when it wasn't him. 

 

As for me... Nitro was being kind.  Wound up and wide open might be the proper term.  Nothing like a 6'3" redneck wound tighter than a chihuahua.  Beer?  That was beer the way it was suppose to be made... with barley and hops... not rice.  lol  Fruit????  pfffttttttttttt!

ROFLMAO !!!!

 

Cummmmooooonnn man !!!

 

I will say this it started with the right letter B, but it's not Budweiser, lol !!!

 

It was not the beer that counted though, I really enjoyed meeting you for the first time and the company we have shared since then.

Ohhhhhhh.... the "stronger than beer" refreshment?

I hope to visit again soon, tell the wife and children I said hello would ya !!

Name the date and time

I will probably be coming, all I need is a few feet of space. No need for me to have a seat, I fish standing up carrying a 10 pound backpack. Having it on the deck will be relief enough for me. :)

Steve caught a nice one too that day!!

You had better make it there, you voted for the place lol !!

 

Now you get to see what kind of weird people we really are and have some fun too boot !!!!

So what baits/technique specific gear do you guys think I should stock up on? I know for sure I will need some spinnerbaits and jigs. As of now I only have 1 spinnerbait and its a tiny pond magic.

Senkos, Fat Ikas, hollow-body frog, buzz frog (I like the Zoom H. Toad), chatterbait, Mann's -1, Shad  Raps, lipless crank du jour.

 

I find braided line very useful on the tidal Potomac.  Conditions (i.e. water clarity, abundant vegetation) are such that, IMO, the line does not spook bass.  Chances are, at the dates of this get-together, you will be fishing heavy vegetation at some point.  You will then thank me for the braid suggestion.  Some techniques, especially hollow body frogs (IMO), require braid, otherwise you're wasting your time.

 

The one situation where I almost never use braid is crankbaits.

Hollow body frog- check (livetarget)

Senkos-check (2 packs or those and 2 packs of PTL sick sticks)

Shad rap-check

Lipless cranks- check (three 1/2 oz redeye shads- bluegill, red sexy shad, sexy shad)

I'll get some chatterbaits, some rage toads, and some fat Ika's. I have a couple of small shallow cranks already.

I am looking so forward to this trip, we have not even begun to get ready and already we have some great tips from our members.

 

Nice job mudkart and thanx !!!

Now what are the chances of some Snakeheads?? Just a heads up from those out that fished this area what is the conditions mostly like and is it safe for a jon boat? Also do you need livewells or just like last time snap a picture?

As for Snakehead's I don't have a clue, but I hope to catch a monster one if I do, as for livewells, don't worry about that, this is not a real tournament, this is just for fun, if you wish to keep the fish you catch, then by all means, bring whatever you want to contain the fish, all we ask is that we all follow regulations if you choose to do so.

 

Pictures will be a must or it shall be considered a lie....which is something we all do anyway or we would not be real fisherman now would we !!

 

However, it will be part of the fun so please tell all the stories you wish, just remember, I will have a box of BS flags to pass out to all of us and we can throw them at any time we wish and on whom ever we wish.

  • Super User

Theres going to be yellow flags flying everywhere. Its going to look like an Oakland Raiders game.

Ive seen alot of videos of fishing on potomac river and there are plenty of snake heads there from what i gather.

My Wife heard snakeheads are good eating.  She has informed me that I had better bring some home for a fry.
