Super User A-Jay Posted November 19, 2016 Super User Posted November 19, 2016 ~ Very Nice. Congrats A-Jay Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted November 19, 2016 Super User Posted November 19, 2016 Had to go back for a little more a-rig love today. Top fish was 4.8. Fished for a few hours this evening as a massive cold front hit central Virginia like a slap in the face! White caps and everything but the bass were still chewing. 10 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted November 20, 2016 Super User Posted November 20, 2016 Very Nice Double ~ I've been having a hard time even getting a single bite on that ever loving rig ! Congrats A-Jay 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 22, 2016 Global Moderator Posted November 22, 2016 Had my first ever double on the Rig this past Sunday during a tournament, and they were both keepers. Unfortunately, they were also both white bass If I'd managed a double like that on it, we'd have been in the money. 3 Quote
Jtrout Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 Awesome! Did u net them or lip them both lol Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted November 22, 2016 Super User Posted November 22, 2016 Lipped them/halfway grabbed the rig. I don't know how it all worked out. I have landed 3 doubles in 3 days of fishing, I though they were supposed to be uncommon on an a-rig! Quote
Logan S Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 Hit Gaston last weekend for a team tournament...Had a great practice day and disappointing tournament day (we got 4th), but it's always fun to fish my favorite lake . Most fish were caught on Jigs and Swingheads with several also coming on shakeyheads. The wind kicked into overdrive about an hour before weigh in and made for a pretty hellish ride back to the ramp...Thankfully we only had to go a few miles but crossing the main lake was bad. Several boats did not make it to weigh in because they couldn't get across the main lake. I've seen some rough stuff on the Potomac, Upper Bay, and Erie...and this ride ranked right up there with the worst I've been in. We were both wearing PFDs and it's a good reminder to always wear them...I've never seen Gaston get even close to this rough, but with 40-50 mph winds anything is possible. 3 Quote

I gave up after donating a few to the bottom of the river. I know it catches fish but it's not for poor folk. Especially when you spend all the money and don't get a bite. Then cast a rattle trap and catch one in the first 5 minutes 1 Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 23, 2016 Super User Posted November 23, 2016 Never had a double nor a single fish on the outside arms. BTW, The Rig is also the #1 presentation for stripers! 2 Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted November 23, 2016 Super User Posted November 23, 2016 I think I'm catching more fish on the outside arms than the inside right now. Doesn't make sense. Stripers usually hit the inside, this is the first time I've gotten into bass on the rig. Quote
WDE Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 Had a little time to kill before Thanksgiving dinner at my wife's grandparents' place. They've got a little pond on their land, but it's way down and I've never fished it. Caught 8, hooked 10 in an hour and a half. Biggest is in the middle, approached 2lbs. 2 Quote
greggt4736 Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 Monster scale certified 10 pounder. Personal best. Caught her on a rattle trap on my wife's uncle's busted Shakespeare flipping reel with hardly any drag. The reel is permanently stuck in flipping freespool mode. Despite the gear challenges I walked her at water level from the dock to the bank for some family photos. Wife's unc put it on the scale and started ranting and raving cause it came out of his pond. A really awesome moment. The nerves are visible on my face as I just knew she was coming unbuttoned when I saw how she was skin hooked when she surfaced. Everybody had given up fishing but me and went on to other stuff. No one was around to see "the one that got away" She stayed on and I have a lot to be thankful for. 14 Quote
