Sounds fun, im always up for finding new places to fish and buddies to fish with

Yea I'm always up for meeting new people and possibly fishing new places.

I'm in if I can clear it with management aka the wife. Wish I would not have just given away all my Lake Rooty secretes in the other thread. I fish there a lot.

Well so is the affirmative date in march or this Saturday?

I'm down for Powhatan, wouldn't mind taking my kayak out there

is powhatan lakes still a possibility boat and shore angler friendly

another vote for powhatan lakes!  8-)

I heard that the fishing at Powatan is not that great. Something about recently fixing the dam and restocking.

I also think that Lake Rooty could use some pond/lake management. I wouldnt mind if when we all met up that some people keep the smaller fish, and transport them to Lake Echo right down the street, off of Springfield Rd. They dredged that lake 2 years ago, and it could use some help with the bass population. Any thoughts?

probably not such a good idea. Fish die in transport often and you can introduce disease and bacteria to Lake Echo. Best to keep them where they are.

Im all for Powhatan Lakes. Lets just get a permanent date set up! 

I'm all in for Powhatan Lake, it'll be my first trip there. I'll bring my Jon. I can do any Saturday, except for this Saturday.

im still voting for anna lol, i have one seat on my boat so i could take out 1 person.

If you ever have an open seat when your headed out on anna let me know I'd be more than happy to fill it

I fished the community docks in my neighborhood today on the private side of Lake Anna and caught a bunch of fish in about half hour , biggest was right around 4 pounds.

@Bigs: Nice catches! Don't Lake Ann would be the ideal place for me to take small Jon, however would like to fish there eventually.

you can fish the private side in a friggin raft if u wanted to. The water is like glass there all year until mid summer when the renters come with ski boats. Lemme know. I'll let u in one day with ur jon boat. U wont have to go but a thousand feet from the dock at the most to catch quality fish. Once Late April hits the fish will go deep.

I'm out at LKA quite often. My best friends parents live there. They're in the Gerdome Island neighborhood, off of Moody Town Rd. It's nice to have a bass boat on the lift year round. Just put it in the water and go.

All this talk of Powatan Lakes....I had to go and buy a Jon Boat. I found one on craigs list. 10 ft aluminum boat w/ 2 seats and a 30 lb Minn Kottta trolling motor for $200. Just hope I have time to get it registered before the meet and greet. Now I just need a battery and one of those telescopeing portable fish finders from BPS, and I'll be ready to go.

@Bigs: Thanks, I'm going to take you up on your offer sometime soon before the end of April.

@vegas679: You may come out cheaper buying a wired fishfinder system, that's what I installed on mine. It was on sale at BPS for $79 last spring. Took only a few minutes to wire. Just use waterproof sealant around your bolts for the transmitter. I never considered the portable fishfinder, may work just as good. Great steal on the new boat, congrats! Had the same feeling last spring when brought mine. P.S.: Had the worst experience with Walmart deep cycle marine batteries. Returned twice.

how about powhatan sat the 19th should be warmer by then and pre-spawn. say 8-9 am, have a fun tourny and mabey every one could bring some extra baits for prizes.

This sounds like quite a plan! so the 19th it is!

can anybody get me into a landing for the private side during this week?  hoping to launch the boat and take my dad out.

Carrington, just send me a pm. And for whoever has an open seat on something that doesnt sink, holla. Buyer for my BassCat left with it this morning so Im boatless till I find a suitable boat to replace it. If anyone has an 18 foot or bigger aluminum rig with a 90 or bigger on it then lemme know. Was thinkin bout gettin one and putting a powerpole on it.

19th it is! What time are we meeting up?

I say we meet at 7:00 at the boat ramp and have a little fun tourney and meet back at 12:00. How does that sound with you guys?
