Hello. Well... um...

From and live in South Central Virginia and always was an avid fisherman until about 14 years ago and nearly quit. Just fished once a month in the pond on my farm. Started back a year ago hitting the Staunton River and bought another boat 4 weeks ago. Fish for about anything. Smallies and Largemouth, cats... blue, channel, or flathead... shoot... I just love fishing even for a little old bluegill.

So it comes down to this...

I have been out of the "know" for some time and need much advice so forgive questions that seem mundane to you. As an example.... I still use an XLT Plus. Yeah... I have newer things but the XLT still works and I have had it for about 3o years as far as I can recall.

Anyway... Cheers!

Paul

Welcome!! be sure to check out the southeast section for some good reports and talk to locals! http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/forum/16-southeast-bass-fishing/

Paul, great to have another Virginia guy with us.

Looking forward to reading your posts and sharing information.

Hi and welcome

Welcome. I'm in the NoVA area, but have fished a bit in the Staunton (and Maury River) long ago. Keep thinking of getting back down to that area. I bought a jet boat a couple of years ago and fish the upper Potomac, Shenandoah - and even tried the CaCapon once (but was too nervous to run up too far). The Staunton looks like it would be jet boat friendly. If I make it down your way, I'll send a PM. Welcome again.

Welcome!

Welcome aboard, fellow Virginian!

Thanks guys! Some parts of the Staunton are jet boat friendly. Most where I am... no so much. I am just below Leesville Lake. I was speaking with a friend just today and he goes with a guy that has a flatbottom with a small jet they use. He said they have no problem but there are some places I just can see it. I use a small jonboat with a 5.5hp or a Minn Kota transom mount. Sometimes use the canoe but I like the stability of the flat. Put in up river of my farm and drift down. Great for smallies BTW. I got a Stratos for the lakes. For any of you guys that float the Staunton in my area... I have a place to take out small boats and canoes. Our farm is right on the Staunton just above Tabor for those who know. All are welcome at least once.

Welcome Home!

Welcome fellow Virginian!!!
