Anyone Been Out Lately In Virginia

[dhami013]

If so where at and what's been working for ya? Got the day off tomorrow. Thinking about hitting maybe the rapp because it's nearby.

[Wayne P.]

I haven't been since Thursday. That was to Briery Creek Lake.

What was "working" is what I selected to use since I base my selection on the conditions.

It isn't about the lure, it is matching the presentation to the conditions.

Weedless wacky rigged finesse worm, shakey head finesse worm, crankbait.

Went to Sandy River with a friend two days ago.  Got a few but not on fire.  Really been slow on SML and Leesville as well.  Looking for suggestions on how to fish this time of the year if anyone is willing...

We've been having some good success lately. All these fish were caught by my daughter & I with in the last week at Powhatan Lakes. Caught 20+ fish over 4lbs in a 3 day span. Biggest being 6.13 on a Rapala scale.

What a great time when your kid kicks your butt!!

 

Or maybe it's that she's smaller than you and the fish look that much bigger! LOL

 

I got a chance to hit Newport News Park waters here earlier this past week. Caught several bass, biggest at 2 pounds. Most of the fish lately have been 2.5 and down. Hunting the big ladies though, caught so many between 4 - 6.6 pounds this year. Fishing Jika rig, Mojo, wacky weightless and weighted.

They are public Lakes, electric only. Yes Jon boat is what I use.

Thanks everyone! Ain't nothing like sharing those memories with my daughter. Glad she was with me when the bite was on....I find the pattern and I have her copy it and then it turned into a competition. She wants to fish tournaments with me,how cool is that!

I also had a chance to fish Powhatan Lakes. I didn't do as well as Aluma-Bass but I did manage to catch one over 4 pounds. I fished today from 10:30 to 1:00.

[Sam]

Great pics and stories. And I am stuck at home with a knee replacement and can't fish until next year.

 

Jacob, glad to see you caught a nice one on One Fish Anna.

 

Aluma, great post and pics. Wonderful that you have introduced bass fishing to your daughter.

 

I can't wait to take my grandson fishing one day and show him the beauty of nature and the fun of hunting for those little green monsters.

Take your Glock and just troll along the shore and sooner or later you will see one and nail it!!!!

[Tallent25]

Been catching em on the James on just about everything mainly cranking and jigging deep drops or flipping shallow close to deep water that has been key for us and just keeping our heads down and fishing !

[bigbass101]

[Aluma-Bass]

yes and yes

[bigbass101]

sorry one more question i was wondering if you had to have a lincese to fish it because i no some places like some lakes in lousia you got by like a 10 dollar pass to fish it for a year

[Dintlow]

You just need a VA state freshwater fishing license.

Might want to double check but you probably still need a VA license to fish the majority of those lakes in addition to the $10 to fish pass.

That would be Gordonsville Lake (Bowlers Mill) and Northeast Creek Lake. Those are locality permits. You still need a state fishing license if you are 16 years old or older.

Great catches!  That looks like the upper lake right?

[Aluma-Bass]

Yes, those fish came from top lake.
