Hello all. Thanks to bass resource and all the contributors for such a great wealth of information.

I've returned to Fredericksburg, VA after 5 years away. The last three were in Coastal SC chasing Redfish, Spec Trout and Flounder in the tidal creeks in and around the Broad River.

It's a bit of a shift fishing freshwater here, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. I've fished the Rappahannock south of town and put in at Hopyard Landing. I've also been on the Potomac out of Quantico Creek and Colonial Beach. I've caught a mix of Large Mouth, Catfish, Bluegill and a few stripers.

It seems the cold weather is upon us and chances to get out will be few between now and early spring. I look forward to reading the forums, learning all I can and getting ready for March and April. I will post in the boats forum as well, but would be interested in talking w/ anyone who has a Gheenoe. They're more popular in the South East (specially FL), but I've found mine to be a great boat and lots of fun to tinker with.

Best of Luck and Tight Lines to you all.

Dave

Dave, wonderful having you with us.

We have a strong contingent of Virginia guys and gals so ask your questions about local fishing, techniques, baits, etc.

Bass Pro Shop is south of you off I-95 at Exit 89 so visit that store.

Green Top is near BPS on Route 1. Outstanding fishing store with guys who bass fish all over the state.

Just ask your questions and we will do our best to give you our replies.

Welcome aboard Bro  8-)

I'm from that county right above you where the traffic starts lol  ;D

I know a good little honey hole where you can catch a bass just about every cast!.... that is if your willing to risk getting chiggers  :-/

Laugh is right! There are days when the traffic starts in the county below me too!!!

Having moved up here from Parris Island, I'm not sure whether sand fleas or chiggers are worse?

Chiggers seem to itch longer, but there are more sand fleas than you could ever hope to swat....

I've had chiggers before and likely will again, so if you'r e willing to share, I'm willing to take the risk.

Right now though, I think we'll have to wait for a thaw!

Send me a PM if your interested. 8-)

Thanks for the offer.

Apparently I need to get my post count up before I can PM, so let me work on that and I'll send one for sure. In the mean time, we'll be waiting on a thaw anyway!

Hope you had a great Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year.
