Super User Nitrofreak Posted January 24, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 24, 2013 I did vote and chose Sept14/15 but any date will do. Its so far off it wont be a problem with work or anything like that. Thats why we try to get it in early as possible, it's best to have plans laid months in advance, once we decide a date I am calling the campground to reserve. I think I am really likin Pohick, it's not far from Mattawomen, and everything in between looks like it will have some really great fishing from my map studies so far, the only thing that really concerns me is being able to get my boat out LOL !! Looking at the posts and the map it could be a little tricky but I think it will be ok. Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted January 24, 2013 Super User Posted January 24, 2013 Pohick is actually a pretty good ramp, doubt you will have any problems. Quote
endless Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I'm cool with it!! Pohick is that still Potomac? Quote
Super User Teal Posted January 24, 2013 Super User Posted January 24, 2013 Whenever the date, i plan on going up there on either thursday afternoon or early friday morning. This will give me alot more time on the water. It will just be me, so i am open to sharing my campsite with anyone. I have several tents for anyone who doesnt have one. Just something to think about. 1 Quote

Good, but going out into Pohick bay there may be a little trouble, I think it may have been you that was stating how shallow it may be, am I correct or just confused lol !! Quote

Might have to see if the wife will let me come down on Friday and come back home Saturday evening/night. Teal by any chance you might have a coffee pot with some caffeinated coffee for in the morning? lol Quote

Super User BrianinMD Posted January 24, 2013 Super User Posted January 24, 2013 The shallow part of Pohick is to the left (standing on the dock looking at the water), to the right is the main Potomac river and its pretty open. Quote

Looking at the posts and the map it could be a little tricky but I think it will be ok. Do you mean the ramp @ Pohick? It's a very busy ramp on summer weekends. I've never seen anyone with experience have any troubles with the ramps @ Pohick. The right wind @ low tide can cause some shallow conditions, but I've still been able to launch. **edit - read the rest of the thread and this was already answered - ** Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted January 24, 2013 Super User Posted January 24, 2013 Wow, using that map provided above it's only a two hour drive for me. Also didnt realize it was so close to the Quan (fished it with Soccplayer07). I'm likely good to come down, just need someone to tell me EXACTLY what license I would need. You guys have all those goofy permits and what not, I got confused during that part of this thread. LOL Quote

It would be nice if you can make it but you must have that beard like in your avatar!! Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted January 24, 2013 Super User Posted January 24, 2013 Oh, the beard will be in full effect. No doubt. I had to trim it up for a wedding at the begining of December, but it's not getting cut again for a while. LOL 2 Quote

Super User Teal Posted January 25, 2013 Super User Posted January 25, 2013 Yeah that might be possible too. Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted January 25, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 25, 2013 I have now posted a link to the VGIF licence requirements, any questions please feel free to ask !! Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted January 25, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 25, 2013 Yeah that might be possible too. Cool !! I know how much we love some alone time on the water, just us our boats and the fish, my feelin's won't be hurt if you decide not to, maybe we can have a little fun with the mornings and do a little friendly tournament type thing as well, I have never fished her I don't know that you have or not.

Super User Teal Posted January 25, 2013 Super User Posted January 25, 2013 Yeah not a prob. Just gotta get things straight with two different workplaces and the slave driver/ wife. But im like you..i like as much time on the water as i can get. Thats why i wanted to go a day early. I hate going to different body of water for a day trip or two days... Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted January 25, 2013 Super User Posted January 25, 2013 I dont fish tournaments all that much and my wife just switched jobs so that she has weekends off, so I'm really down for whatever. All I have to do is request time off from my second job about two weeks in advance. So, there are snakeheads around the area we are fishing? 1 Quote
