How many seats would you have open Vekol? 1 or 2?

Only one, I have a 17' jon boat with a 25hp motor. If the winds are 15mph or less I can get across the river safely. Maybe a little wet, but safely.

Fished out of Pohick past few days and the bass bite is on fire. 3 1/2 hours yesterday we landed 20 lost 15. Lipless cranks and baby 1 minus over grass. Most 12-13 inches but 3 @ 3 1/2 and 2 @ 4 lbs.

This evening the tide was dead slack but the fish could not resist walking dog on flat water in skinny water.

I have been perfecting fishing shallow cranks over grass in pohick and it is amazing how many fish I catch. It is clear that the cranks are triggering fish to bite. I have switched over to senkos or chigger craws and nothing. Back to the shallow cranks and it's game on. Baby 1- minus in chartreuse and orange work great in murky water and shad when water is clear. Fish them on a medium power cranking rod with braid. Many strikes come when popping the cranks from grass. Also switched the hooks for the kvd ultra points which improved catch by 30-40 %. I can reliably go out in evening and catch 10-15 bass in 1 1/2. Make sure you bring some Manns baby 1-minus for the meet and greet.

Awesome Spropro I pray the Crank bite stays on all the way up till August. Sadly I haven't gotten out yet anywhere to get a line wet. I finally started working again so trying to get in the phase again and about to switch over to nights soon. Soon maybe I will be able to get out.

Also if can remind of the Campground that everyone are staying at? Hopefully we'll be at the same one.!! Any new news, updates, or need to knows?

I'm pumped guys. I have some little livetarget 45T frogs coming Friday so I can learn the patience and levelheadedness needed to get a frog hookset, LOL. I miss like 90% of my frog bites.

Speed, does your jon fit two or do I have to stick my feet off the back and kick? LOL

On a more serious note, I would like to learn some swimbaiting techniques and tricks from you while we're there.

I put the dates in at work so hopefully they approve it. Now I need to check my tent and gear to see what shape they're in. Anything else we need to bring?? Anything for a cookout or how much we pitching in on it?

I can fish two people comfortably. Three is a big stretch and quite dangerous with the length of the swimbait rods and the size of hooks on some of those things :grin:

 

We'll get something figured out even if it's just a short tutorial/Q&A.

Just to be clear, we are launching from somewhere in CCW-friendly Virginia and not the People's Republic of Maryland, correct?  LOL

The beautiful state of Virginia, yes. The NVRPA, not sure!

Yes, from Po-hick Park (see page 1), and the PRM invites you to fish its river and creeks if you like.

I think we'll be eating quite a few snakehead fillets. I'll bring some sausages for the grill as well.

I just hope my 2 rods and 4 reels are enough to cover whatever patterns we run.

I have a 7' 6" MH casting that I alternate reels with 17lb fluoro and 50lb braid, and a 6' medium spinning alternating between 20lb braid with a fluoro leader or 10lb mono.
