just a little update of my bass fishing so far in northern Virginia. Thanks to this site I'm learning something new each day. So far I have caught bass on my crank-bait,lip-less,chatter bait,plastics. The only type of technique i haven't caught bass on is top-water frogs ( ) and jigs. plus these ponds have so many weeds and lily's pad it is so hard to fish in it.

Thank's for the pics, nice job!!

And um don't worry too much about all of the other stuff you are worried about, looks to me like they will come to you soon enough.

Good luck and be safe!!!
