Awful problem to have!!

I don't mind catching stripers. But I was trying to catch bass. I'm still kinda new at it. Just wondering what people were catching them on right now.

I'm just kind of new to lake fishing. My biggest problem is finding fish. I don't have any fancy down or side imaging, just an old humminbird pro angler 400. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Sent you a PM.

I was speaking with a buddy of mine about SML. I am going and putting in at Penhook Saturday. He advised using a a spinner bait and slow roll it over the mouth of the cuts. I assume that this would work for most anything that can get deep enough. I am planning on using the spinners and give the BiteItBaits a try. Might even try a cranker or two.

Going out on Lake Curtis tomorrow in the kayak, got it rigged for spring fishing.

Let us know how it went at Curits when you get a chance.

. I went yesterday to Curtis to scout out some areas and caught a couple nice 2lb bass on a jerkbait, tomorrow is supposed to be perfect so I'm gonna go out and work the structure. I live a mile from Abel and tried it out in January, a whole day fishing and caught 1 bass under a pound. I'll tell you how it goes, leaving at 8am.

Tomorrow I'm taking the wife and we are going to Caroline Pines lake. With this nice weather hopefully we can catch some bass. I got her the new BPS Extreme spinning combo for wacky on valentines day and I hope she loves it. This will be her first time using the new combo. I'm looking to having a great time with her tomorrow. We kind of got a scare today by the drs saying she might be going into a miscarriage so we had to setup another sonagram. Luckily we got one today to not mess up tomorrow and the news after that was much better. The radiologist said everything looks fine beside a few little things dealing with the wife's PCOS. Hopefully everything stays going well and we will have our second child. Friday the wife is going on a field trip with our 4 year old for school. **** luck to any going out tomorrow or this weekend!

endless, that sounds stressfull. glad to hear you got some good news. Hope all works out for you and your fam. I'll be fishing a friends pond tomorrow, the weather looks great for central VA.

Endless,

My thoughts and prayers to you and your family, I hope all goes well, and we will say a prayer for you guy's in church.

Hope you both have a safe and fun day fishing tomorrow and I am sure she will enjoy her Valentine gift.

Good luck and be safe !!!

Thanks Nitro so far I thinks it's in a favor, lol. We wasn't planning on another but now I'm excited myself. Should be a good day tomorrow even if it's me and the wife just enjoying the day together. Fish will be nice though lol.

Hey guys, new to the forum here. Haven't got out fishing yet this year, but hopefully soon. Mainly just fish rivers around the harrisonburg area which is where I live. Been to lake Anna and Smith Mountain a few times without much luck. But unfortunately getting rid of my boat so it's back to the rivers. Anybody In the Harrisonburg area been having much luck yet?

Got skunked today at Huntsman lake in NOVA.... water temps were a high of 52..... still a little cool.

Good luck Endless with the Drs, glad you can get out a wet a line and blow off some steam.

been fishing the past two mornings at tom brooks lake. Caught one dinky bass today and 2 pickerel yesterday. Missed multiple fish today, seemed like they wouldnt commit to the bait. Using a bush hog T-rigged. I used a spinner bait today for a couple cast had one bass hit it repeatedly but couldnt set the hook in time. Find it odd how one fish can be all over the spinner bait but then no other fish had any interest in it

.

I must be to excited for today cause I'm up and couldn't sleep last night. Me and the wife is going fishing and this will be the first time this year the wife is going. I think I am more excited spending the day with her than truly going fishing? I hope today is a great day!! Good luck to everyone!

Endless it's kinda windy today, be safe first of all, I hope you and the wife have a great day !!!

Is it going to be worst than yesterday?

Hitting a private lake this afternoon. Hopefully i will finally catch soemthing this year. Got four rigs setup, sone with a LC pointer JB, One with a shaky head, one with a wacky rig, one with a chatterbait. First change will probably be to a jig with craw trailer, second...... who knows, hopefully I wont have to change anything. Anyone got any lure suggestions(types)..

10 to 15 mph with gusts to 25, it's supposed to get worse as the day progresses, where are you going ?

Winds SSW at 19mph for King George

How big and deep is it?

The jb would be my first suggestion, but since it's going to be windy, I would take a top water too like a buzz bait, it's going to be overcast also, so darken up your colors.

Nitro- I'm staying local at a neighborhood lake in Caroline county. Hmm Buzzbait? Just might have to haha I love buzzbaits. Good luck SteveinVA!!

I hope it won't be to bad today. After fishing I won't to try and convince my buddy to letting me come over later. I just got me a trap and skeet thrower and trying to shoot!! I also just finally got me my own shotgun this year.

pretty good size, got a dam about 30' max, around there. plenty of coves, some decent points, not to many under water drop offs, more bowl shaped than not
