Rappahanock Tips?

[outdoorsman110]

I'm going bass fishing this weekend on the river and I need some tips for bass because the cranks aren't working here. Would tubes work? I hand pour mine in a blueish silver coloration to match the herring. Anybody know of any good teqniques for this river? I'll be launching the kayak in Fredericksburg.

That's a really tough section of the river to fish. I've never had much luck Bass fishing up that way. If I go out on the Rapp, I go to hick's landing in Port Royal. It's only about 35 minutes from Fredericksburg and much more productive. Just caught a 5 pounder there 2 weeks ago.

Yep, Go somewhere else. HAAHAHA I never have much luck, and have heard or read that the LMB populations are in decline or not increasing or something like that. Game and inland fisheries has some information on it, that may have been where I read it. Electrofishing rates and all that stuff.

Good call, I will however reccomend wading in above the fall line for some good small mouth action later on in the summer. either at Motts landing or right in down town fredericksburg off fall hill ave. or riverside dr. Not huge Smallies but you should catch quite a few of them. Did catch a nice three or so pounder out of there a few years back.
