Super User Nitrofreak Posted January 2, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 2, 2013 I think school is out by August, but I don't know who gets out when. We should have Aug 24th and 25th open September 7th and 8th, 14th and 15th, 21st and 22nd. Those should be our available dates. Quote
mudkart Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 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. Your VA freshwater license is fine as long as you do not fish above the WW bridge, which is considered DC waters. If your boat is registered in VA you're also OK. Ramp fee @ Pohick is ~ $8, I think, I get the yearly pass. Quote

This is a fairly long thread, and since I haven't read all of it I just wanted to ask... is Pohick where this is definitely going out of? I'm about 4 miles from the Potomac so this is a definite possiblity for me. Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted January 2, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 2, 2013 Not real sure just yet, I know I will be camping there, but we may meet somewhere else, I don't think it will be too far from there if we do. Quote
PotomacBassin Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Leesylvania is pretty popular but may be a little 'dicey' for jon boats on windy days. This is why I upgraded from my 14 foot jon to a 19 foot tracker. I would bust a$$ up to Neabsco in my little jon hoping the waves wouldn't be worse on the way back. Quote
Zoff Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 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. I was actually wondering that as it looked like her coat was slightly brindle. Am I correct? I love the Malinois but a bit too high strung for this old guy. This is one of my pals Watch who you are calling old there friend lol !! IIRC... I do believe you ARE older than me. lol Quote
Super User Teal Posted January 3, 2013 Super User Posted January 3, 2013 Yeah she is brindle with a black mask. I don't have a good picture of her on my iPad. Malinois are super hi strung...almost on a psycho level. She wouldn't give me a chance to take a good picture. Lol. I'll probably bring her with me on our Potomac trip. Quote
Zoff Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 I wish I could bring mine but their prey drive is so great... they chase fish, birds, cast lures, etc. It's like fishing with a monkey on crack. I just gave up. Quote
Super User Teal Posted January 3, 2013 Super User Posted January 3, 2013 Oh... Mine has a super high drive too. But she also is very well mannered and she listens very well. Mine knows that she will get a spanking in front of everybody if she acts up. Lol. Mine chases and catches squirrels on a daily basis Quote
Super User Teal Posted January 3, 2013 Super User Posted January 3, 2013 On the boat mine is well behaved. Once the trolling motor goes down she will go lay on rear deck Quote
Zoff Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Oh... Mine has a super high drive too. But she also is very well mannered and she listens very well. Mine knows that she will get a spanking in front of everybody if she acts up. Lol. Mine chases and catches squirrels on a daily basis Know what you mean. Mine is great with people and anything that does not move away at a quick pace. If it runs, flies, or is thrown... fair game. Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted January 3, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 3, 2013 Would love to see early summer dates BB50, we can't do that for two reasons, one is that it puts the dates too close to the Roadtrip, we do not want to interfere with that at all, 2) this is a family event, the children are not out of school until August, some of these children have a lot of homework and extra caricular activities going on during the school year, this is a time when the whole family can make a vacation out of something like this if they so desired. I will say this much for the Meet and greet, it has opened the doors and allowed me to fish with some really good people from here, I have made a couple of good friends locally that allows a weekend trip to be possible, with or with out family going along, I would love the opportuniity to fish with each and every one of you, it has been nothing but fun so far, if you or anyone else for that matter wish to fish with others you have not met from here yet, all you need to do is ask, post a trip you are going to take and see if you have a couple that want to join in. This year is going to be a little difficult, I am currently saving all my pennies to try and make the Roadtrip, otherwise I would love to get out there with you if you would not mind having me along.

Bigbarge50 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Oh I thought kids get out of school in June and go back around labor day Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted January 3, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 3, 2013 It really depends on the location of the school, late June, mid July is the norm, snow days and makeup days etc.. come into play as well as summer school, so we try to work it in as best we can. Quote
Broke bass fisherman Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 My kid (and me as well) go back to school in late August. Around here they get out in early to mid may. Quote

That sounds like you won't make the M&G? Say it ain't so!!! Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted January 4, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 4, 2013 That sounds like you won't make the M&G? Say it ain't so!!! I will be there, I already put that money aside, I started saving as soon as the last one was over lol !!! Quote
Zoff Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Me too. I am in DT's right now for a nice day. Did hit the farm pond today. Quote

Super User Nitrofreak Posted January 4, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 4, 2013 Me too. I am in DT's right now for a nice day. Did hit the farm pond today. Dt's?? I am assuming double something? If you are going to say you went fishing today then you need to let us know if you caught anything !!!! Quote
Zoff Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 DT's... as in Detox... Detoxification... the reaction of an addict with out the substance of the addiction. lol Yeah... caught a few about a pound and one that went about 6 or 7 but I didn't have my scale. All on a countdown jerk bait. Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted January 4, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 4, 2013 Congrats!!! nice job buddy !!!! You should know by now that you will never be able to cure that, might as well give in and enjoy and get your fix another day. lol !!! 1 Quote
