Shimmy, Thanks for your reply! Firstly, I apologize for my late reply. I'm new to bassresource.com and I guess I didn't set my alert notices in my settings. I just figured I never got a response until I randomly logged back into the forum tonight and noticed your response from months ago. If the video is yours, I did meet you briefly back in July/August sometime. My buddy and I had just pulled out at the Mt Hope launch and we spoke with you for a while about what to fish. We both felt like fools because after speaking with you we realized we were using all the wrongs baits for that time of year and fishing the shoreline with top waters in the hottest weather. Can you tell I'm a rookie? LOL!! Anyhow it was very nice to meet you and your video rocks!! I certainly appreciate your advise! I did purchase a fish finder/depth finder back in November for my jon boat. It's called the "Hummingbird Fishing Buddy". It hangs over the side of the boat as opposed to attaching it to the transom mount. I'm not to pleased with it as the transducer seems to be inaccurate at speeds over 3-4 mph. It's probably more appropriate for a kayak or canoe. Either way the depth finder should play an important role as you mentioned. As it warms up in the coming months I'll be sure to take your advise in fishing north of mt hope road and stick to the coves in the mornings. Again, I appreciate the help!

Hello fellow anglers! I'm a newbie to the Bass Resource as of today! Is anyone familiar with bass fishing the Beaverdam Reservoir in Ashburn VA? I've hit this spot about 5 or 6 times between May-present and haven't caught a single fish! I have a small jon boat I launch from the point opposite the mt hope launch. Typically I'll head into the coves just to the right of the launch and sometimes I'll breeze across the center as well. I know this is tough lake to fish but it's so large I don't know where the sweet spots are... nor do I have the time/patience to find them. There was a gentlemen that posted an awesome video on youtube catching tons of big bass. Prior to all my visits I'll watch this video to pump me up before I start fishing... but I always leave frustrated and scratching my head. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
