Went out to Four Mile Run today for 2 hours to try out my new combos and some new baits (blade baits I got on ebay). Started off throwing the 1/2oz blades I got and on the third cast i had one strike it just so gently right on the bank and after a sluggish fight he was landed, I't felt and looked over four but I dont have a scale..

Not too long after that I started tearing it up with the blade bait, I started out with 5 and lost them all, here are the blade fish, each is a different one

About now was when I lost the last blade (gotta remember to buy more of them! Switched over to rattle traps and it produced also, I had one that musta been 4.5 follow all the way to the bank and turn back. On on traps I landed 2 crappie and one bass

All in all an excellent day for me, 7 bass & 2 crappie landed. Had 3 bass on and shook off the blade, one looked to be at least 6!...and missed mulpitle hits and followers, I'm going to head back out there tommorow if anyone is interested.

Wow Thai, when you told me you were catching them pretty good I thought a few shorties, but man those are some good fishies!! Nice work

sick man

They were mostly cookie cutter 2's I just wished the one that looked 6 didn't shake loose, most of them hit 3 feet off the bank

I wanna go with you tommorow but my girl is takin the lexus to work and my truck is still down. What time are u goin anyways ? She said I can drop her off and pick her up after. I wanna try out all these glx rods I just bought and the steezes too. Is that a silver buddy u were throwin ? Do u have an extra I can use ?

It's not a silver buddie its a similar blade bait i got off ebay, it has great action and puts out tons of vibrations and is cheaper at 5 for $10 shipped, I was throwing the 1/2 oz and lost all five i bought on snags....but a rattle trap would work too

I'm down for going whenever just let me know when you want to go

Crappie wanted some of that too

Yeah I was trying to avoid them but it happens lol

I've caught some almost Virginina citation (13"+ but not 15") crappie during the bass spawn.  Great fight and from what I hear, great eating!

They are alot of fun on an UL, on a 7'MH not so much lol, and are great eating, I have about 5 lbs of filets left in my freezer from two months ago, my biggest one was right at 18"during the spawn

Fish on! lol, good catch.

Way to go to work. 

We must have been talking about different warm water in PM-land, the one I'm thinking of is not Four Mile Run, its well south on the Potomac.

I've been surprised by the number of crappie I've caught on the SK red eye shad lipless cranks.

Yeah the one we discussed in PM land is being saved for when dan gets back, we plan on venturing a little further upstream to try for musky 

just ordered a set of the 1/2 and a set of the 3/8 ounce. Gonna go to dicks sporting goods right now and see if they have something similar I can use tommorow when we go out. If they have something close then I will get one for you to use also. Altho it sounds like they might vanish fast out there.

Its pretty snaggy on the bottom out there, most I was able to shake free but eventually the river demanded payment for the bass caught

thai,

once again very well said!

I cant wait until it's warm enough to hit blue plains, I imagine burning a blade bait through the piling would produce big time!

you wouldn't lose as many if I trained you in the "dingle-dangle" technique, remember? ;D

nice fish dude, I wish I coulda been there. How deep is that area?

and i thought i would never hear (see) that phrase again!!! good memories.

i still can't get over how many times I got that darn thing un-snagged. That was ridiculous.

I wish you both were there I dingle dangled them loose about 20 times before I lost all five

dingle...

dangle...

dingle dangle....

OFF!

Nice dude.

Ummmmmm..........I'm almost afraid to ask this but.......exactly who dingled and dangled what, and why were any of you watching!!

"Dingle-dangling" is an ancient technique of gently shaking a lure loose from a snag.
