I was thinking about trying out the Rappahannock River this weekend for the first time and was looking for any advice. My plan was to launch from Little Falls and do some bass/junk fishing up and down stream from there. I have heard it gets treacherous closer to the city docks so I probably won't go too far up stream. One person said that area below city docks is snakehead territory..??.. that isn't my preferred fishing, but would be willing to help rid the world of a few snakeheads. How much do the tides fluctuate there? I have aquia creek experience, so I am already planning my trip around the tides (if they have that much affect).
Honestly, the ultimate goal is to find an area where I can get away from a few people on a weekend and it looks like the Rappahannock is long enough where I could find some space. If a few fish accidentally run into my lure than that would be a bonus.
Any tips or warnings would be appreciated. Even species to target... I am completely in the dark and its hard to find info for this stretch of river.
