Just a tip on the lighter heads, make sure you run the hook thru the upper part of the bait. Doing that will put more weight of the bait below the horizontal hook line and give the bait more wobble.

After searching for a while, I found this link. . I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Where do you launch Quan? Fished up and down the river but never the Res. I know it is a great spot.....just never fished it for some reason

When it's open, Fountainhead regional park. When it's closed, lakeridge, bullrun, or hooes run. You should check out the Fountainhead bass club website. Buddy tx's, 6 fish limit. Some nice fish in that water. Ranked pretty high in Va.!

Wow! Big club with alot of heavy bags. Are there any open txs?

I might hit occoquan in the next couple of days, but I've been thinking about heading to west virginia for some trout, and smallmouth fishing too. Haven't decided yet.

All tx's are open to anyone who wants to fish them. Each angler pays a one time $10 insurance fee plus entry for each tx. Top 15 teams at the end of the year, + 2 provisional teams ( 16&17 provided they have fished every tx) fish the end of the year 2 day classic. Great group of guys, we have been doing this for 20+ years now!!

Fished today on a private lake with a new buddy from another forum. He was kind enough to invite me up to his backyard lake for a few hours. Water was 40-42. We caught 13 total (his 10 to my 3) All healthy chunks. A couple pics

Only two fish on the res today. This was the best one. Jb

Nice work Quan! Tough bite with the cold coming through.

Looks like you guys had much better success finding willing fish. I only had 2 bites and caught both. Second fish was a real knot head!

What's up guys been enjoying the great weather my self and see you guys have too. Wished the camera on my phone worked. I had my own classic on that friday at the pond I fish at. Caught about 10 pounds on three fish. With some small guys thrown in . Two on the trap one on plastic, missed a good one on the swim bait. Went out today after hitting the bps spring classic, got a new reel went out to check it out caught a 4 and a 1.5. Got about 12 days before the season starts, cleaning and re-spoiling the rods and reels, starting to put a game plan together. Can't wait talk to you guys later.

Nice job EJ!

Really nice job Ej, I look forward to hearing of your fisher of men tourny at Anna too !!!

What day in March is that?

Hotrod and Quanjig, really nice fish and a really nice job thanx for the pics !!!!

I am hoping to get out soon, praying for an Anna trip on my B day this Sunday with the family, All I have been able to do so far is practice my flipping and pitching and it's driving me freaking NUTTS not to be on the water.

Ej,Nitro, a-rig at Anna from what I hear!

A-Rig is not for me my friend lol.

I hear the same thing though, I think I am going to try and hunt them down as I normally do if I get the chance to go, I have been wanting to try some new things there for a while.

Jerkbait has been a good option lately too. My 5.03 came on a pearl white fluke off a point with rock. Hope you get out there on Sunday and have a great Bday Nitrofreak!

Tough day on river today. This and a dink were all we had to show for it! I got skunked on back of boat! Still a great day though!

The Fom is on the 24th we are prefishing it as a club on the 10th. I just can't see myself throwing an A-rig. This is a jig year for me I am putting major focus on the jig this year. I hear so many people win on jigs and when a jig bite got me in the money during a tourney I was sold.

Nice work fellas, and any caught snakehead is a good one.

Just curious and without judgement.... are A-rigs legal in VA? The whole world is going on and on about this thing and I do not even know for sure it is legal. I personally am focusing on another year of improving my jig game and flipping.... (and shakey heads) but curious about VA people being allowed to use em.

To be frank my biggest concern is not people catching everything but me catching broken off a-rigs stuck in quality cover.

Has anyone fished Sandy River recently? I'm heading home from Virginia Tech on friday and plan on stopping by with my boat and giving the place a wack... ive got alotta ideas but have heard the alabama rig has been doing pretty well. Even though im more of a jig guy myself i dont mind throwing anything if its gonna catch me fish! thanks and take care.
