Obviously by your replies your "looking for something specific" Your probably not going to find it locally.... so you may want to look elsewhere. here's a couple links of said boat..... keep looking and good luck in your search.
I'm going to Swan lake in Maine for our yearly vacation at the end of August. We rented a house on the lake.
My question is: What's best used in this lake?
Me and my father in-law have tried trolling w/ deep diving rapala's, and shallow runners. We rarely have caught anything in the 3 years I've gone. I'm bringing my boys along this year and want them to catch their first big ones. Any help would be appreciated!!!!
Thanks, and Tight lines to all.
If I were to change the hooks, What size should I use so I don't mess up the action of the bait? I thought an 8 looked like the original size, but wasn't sure.
Thanks for the info.
I read somewhere that you guys/girls recommend changing out the hooks on cranks. I have probably 20 or so cranks..... I'm just curious if there is a reason for it or do you just favor a certain hook for some reason. I'm only asking because I have been fishing for the past 3 years using the same hooks that came on my Rapala's w/ no problems so far.
Tight lines to all.......
I used to tie directly with a clinch knot whenever I used cranks. This year, I changed it up and started to use the Rapala knot on cranks. There really hasn't been any change..... I still catch fish.
Use what's easier for you bud.
The Target here was selling them for $4. They had a few DT's and a couple Glass Raps. Then again, I went to Cabela's in WV last weekend and they were selling all the Rapala's for $9-$11. That's the last time I drive a state away to check out a store....... ;D
What are the other ponds in the area that are less sketchy?
I know the usual's.... Burke, Beavercreek, Royal, Braddock, Fairfax, and Occoquan.
I'm just wonderin what else is out there.....
Thanks
I'm no Pro, but I've also tried those lakes and ponds. Personally, I've had some good luck using Rapala's DT series. As well as some senko's (black w/ purple flakes). I have gone to Beaver creek reservoir in Ashburn (caught several LMB's and SMB's there) and a couple local ponds in Reston. I'd say try to go early or late.... Seems they don't like bitin' middle of the day. Least thats my experience.
Good luck and let me know what ya get.
Reston residents only. aka private...
and even further, I know some of those other lakes up there are Reston Association members only.
ok terrific.
Anyways, Anyone else caught anything here?
Partlowes went out of buisness. It is the same store I'm talking about. It's named something different now but same location.
Thanks for the advice. I will try some different things. I want to try Beaverdam, I'll post up what I find over there.
Hey Guys/Girls. Another Nova Guy here.
I'm in Herndon, lately been chasing 'em out in Fountainhead. Fished a little @ burke lake too. (never catch anything there though)
I have been using Rapala's floating lure. They work awesome up in the lakes in Maine, but here.... I haven't caught anything. I recently tried the "Yum" baby brush hogs (worm like thing).... watermelon I think. I caught a catfish on that @ fountainhead. I'd really like to get my son's out to catch some LMB's. Any advice on what to try next?
Oh and Red Bear, There's a store at the corner of Evergreen mill's rd and Gumspring rd. in Arcola that sell's live minnows. Ateast they used to. :-/
