Lorton? Afraid not. Mudkart and I hitup Mercer on the yak and almost sank. We didn't fare too great. The wind was killer and we ended the day with only four hookups.

Were there Hobie's out in Lorton? :-?

Mercer not in lorton? ;D sorry.. But yea thats what I meant. I wasn't sure if that was you. Then I thought, who else would be. ;D

Wind was bad and we only stayed an hour or so.

Mercer is still considered fairfax I believe.

It was mudkart and I in my kayak and my buddy Jeremy, who you may remember from the Rapidan., in his own kayak

Were you the first set of guys there at around 10? I remembered seeing 5 or so other guys fishing. Didn't look like anyone was having any luck. Did you? Funny thing was, I was tellin Mike about you and how you were with me on my maiden voyage !

Due, in no small part, to my large a**.

That's being kind.  Call it what it was, a skunk for myself, and I thought for Jeremy too.  Andrew caught a keeper that he thought was a snag at first, until the snag started moving.   :D

Yep, that was us. We were skunked as well.

I NEVER have luck there, but my buddy wanted to go.

Glad to hear you guys stayed dry for the most part.  ;D

I know exactly how you feel. I never have luck there either. I've caught maybe 3 fish from there before tuesday. On tuesday, I got four so i consider that an excellent day for me.

I was using small stuff. a 3/16 black/chart spinnerbait and a 1/16 roadrunner (orange head/white grub trailer). I just fished everything really slow.

Anyone been fishing?  My 85 year old dad will be here for Thanksgiving.  I was hoping to maybe take him out on the boat on Saturday as long as the weather cooperates.

Haven't been out for over a week. But, if you want to catch fish, simply go to any body of water where I'm not fishing.. .  I've been in a bad dry spell lately, the fish are repulsed by me.  

I was having luck with the magic shad and spinnerbaits with a multi colored skirt (black, light blue, and grey-ish white, from top to bottom)

Been hitting the rockfish pretty well also recently

rockfish? as in stripers?  Where are they biting?

Just this past Sat I was hitting them at Yorktown, 17 total all keeper size with two 23inchers mixed in.  All casting from shore.  However...I just got word that some idiot decided to majorly trespass on the dockmaster's dock and now police are giving tresspassing tickets to anyone fishing on the rocks near there (they would usually ignore fisherman)

sad =( my striper spot is now off limits from shore...I'm thinking about taking my yak out there though.
