I know Juan. He used to fish the res tx's!

This was a picture that got forwarded to me from a friend of a snakehead caught in pohick, I think it looks bigger!

Maybe there should be a disclaimer that the M&G is not responsible for tackle broken while catching Snakeheads.

What's the date on the meet and greet this year?

[Nitrofreak]

We are looking at late August or sometime in September, it can not be the last weekend of the month, we have one that will not be able to make it if we schedule it then.

We will start a new post on Jan 1st for discussions about any questions relating to this and other things, we want everyones input so we can make the best decisions possible.

Thanx F4SD !!!

Hmmm, I think anyone fishing the Potomac has a pretty good handle on that one, it is the ones who do not fish the Potomac that needs to bring their HD stuff LOL !!

I always fish with HD stuff. You know me... heaviest line I can get away with on the equipment I am using.... and then some.

[Nitrofreak]

Yep, I seen it for myself LOL !!!

I love that place, what I got to see of it, you showed me a bunch and there was still a ton of it left, that place has some awesome beauty and some really fantastic cover, i can't wait to get there again soon, I am looking so forward to this year of fishing, a new out look, changes in the way I see things and do things, meeting new people, spending more time on the water with family and friends.

I AM FREAKING PUMPED UP BABY !!!!

[Nitrofreak]

Looks like we will be fishing the Potomac !!!!

 

Congrats to all of those who voted for the Potomac, now we need to set a date and get all the details worked out, we already know we cant do it on the last weekend of the month we choose.

 

Months we are looking at are August and September, due to some are still in school, so for you in school guys, when is your last day of school scheduled for this year?

 

We look forward to meeting all of you and having some fun, it was a blast last year and I for one can't wait to do it again !!!! 

[soccplayer07]

Are you going to pick somewhere on the river that jon boats can be used too? 

[Nitrofreak]

We want this to work for everybody, so yes, but it's going to require a lot of information from everybody to help put this together, I personally have never fished the Potomac but I look forward to doing so, we already have some info so if anyone has suggestions please feel free to share, I hope to visit with Traveler in the spring to get floor plans together for the area and do a little fishing as well.

 

Either Zoff of I will put together another post in the future for boaters and non boaters etc... but for now we would like to work on getting a date set

[Teal]

Good deal. Count me in

[Nitrofreak]

Teal,

 

It looks like you live in North Carolina, Are you new to Va?

[Teal]

No. I live 10 mins from VA. On the carolina side off of 95. I am fairly familiar with VA. My parents live 20 mins from Smith Mountain Lake in Roanoke Va. I have fished several lakes in VA including the Potomac River. I also work for a Lake Management co. So I have been to most of the lakes in NC and VA at least a couple times. Is this just a thing for you guys in VA or guys like me who aren't far away at all

[Nitrofreak]

No not at all. anyone is welcome to join us, I just though that would be one heck of a drive depending on where you were in NC, we have one from Md that joins us as well.

 

We do this in the hopes we can get families together and enjoy not just fishing, but give some of our fishing buddies a chance to fish from a boat that they may otherwise not have the chance to do, this will be our second one, the first was at Lake Anna, but we want to cover the state of Va, with all of her bodies of water, so each year one place is eliminated, we try hard to include the state parks as well.

 

We have a day of fishing then a big cookout at the end of the day and enjoy some of the company, last year we had some great supporters who had sponsored us with some gifts to give away, Seibert Outdoors joined us, BAM Magizine, Our own Bass Resource, and Traveler even made some of his baits and gave away a ton of them.

 

We get together and talk trash too, we lie to each other, but most of all we have a lot of fun, I hope to see you there and we look forward to meeting you, don't forget to bring your family if you wish !!!

 

Have you checked out the Roadtrip for Pickwick?

[Zoff]

Potomac?  This will bea real treat.   Looking forward to see you "old" friends and making new ones.  Not to mention fishing a place where i have never fished before.  Can somebody post something that will lay out the requirements lie what licenses to get.... boat owner info and fees for the area?  Just anything that will be necessary that we may not need anywhere else in the Commonwealth.

[Teal]

I saw the threads for the pickwick trip and may is too soon for me to plan a 12 hr trip. But I can be anywhere in VA in 4 hrs or so. I saw where Lake Gaston And Kerr Lake/bugs was on the original list and they are my home lakes. I fish and work on gaston and Kerr lake on a daily basis. Gaston is literally 7 miles from my house.

I thought that it would be a good chance to meet other fishermen and fish other lakes and have a vacation all at the same time. Potomac is a little more than three hours for me to drive. Not far at all to me. I also see this as a learning opportunity.

You guys can count me in as another boat too. Maybe more non boaters can come. I sure don't mind sharing the boat

I'm just really happy that I finally got on the forum so I could meet a bunch of like minded guys.

[Zoff]

Hey Teal... see you have GSD (or one of the GSD offshoots as the B&W pic is hard to see the markings) in your avatar.  I have 2 now... and have had three other over my lifetime.  Great dogs.

[Teal]

Haha. She is a Belgian Malinois. (Offshoot). Excellent dog. She is my fishing partner. The jack Russle in the picture doesn't go often as she likes to jump off the boat In the water. Takes up to much time fishing her out..lol.

Watch who you are calling old there friend lol !!

 

Lets get a date that works for everyone set first then we can post a new thread with all the specifics so it's all in one place, would that be ok for you?
