[NewAngler]

Confession;

I'm not NewAngler. I'm actually Kevin Van Dam. You guys may have heard of me once or twice. I just won a pretty big thing called Angler of the Year... Anyways... Good to know you fools. My buddy, Rockville, and I are going to eliminate each and everyone of you with our average size fish pushing double digits.

Good luck, rookies.

-KVD.

Game. Set. And match.

[quanjig]

If only it was that easy, one must actually be able to fish to catch fish fella's.  I guess 3pm. Sunday will tell the absolute story. 

[soccplayer07]

Ill let you hold my bag Newangler. May even take your pic...

[soccplayer07]

Oh? Well same can be said for you, while you'll technically be out there, what you do I would hardly call "fishing"

LOL! ;D

[JVM]

;D .....OUCHHH!!!

Since my man is fishin the tourney Thai, and you decided ur too good for it, I would have to bet that Socc outfishes you on Saturday!

Regardless of where ur goin!!!

[RockvilleMDAngler]

If absolutely necessary I can fit three but my boat only fits two on plane.  No big deal if we are not leaving the no-wake zone.  Whoever goes as #3 will have to stand in the recessed part as my boat is only 16'2".   Here is a pic:

[quanjig]

My mistake, Saturday

[cmatthews6485]

If there is not enough room i wouldnt mind sitting out but i wanna come show you nova guys how richmond guys fish. Any team i am on if there is room will win :-)

[Dan:]

Obviously, it's up to RockvilleMDAngler.

[RockvilleMDAngler]

I am fine with a third if they are OK with the cramped conditions.  On a small boat a third would need to pack lightly in terms of tackle.

You dont know what cramped is until you fish 3 on a 12" John boat.....tell em Dan...

I used to have a Sea Eagle SE9 inflatable boat with a 50lb trolling motor and I once took three people out.... needless to say it was not fun.  That boat was only 9 feet long!

[RockvilleMDAngler]

Whoever PMs me first can have the third spot.  The third person will have to split the $8 launch fee with NewAngler.

Any other boaters want to come out and fish??? I know guys like Eli and Thai will be fishing and I can't think of a better place to fish this time of year than the Occoquan! (OK maybe Blue Plains but it will be packed!)

[RockvilleMDAngler]

We have a high tide at 9:52 and a low tide at 3:55 at high point in Occoquan.  This means that the bite will be ON in the first hour and a half of the tournament and will be solid right before a 3:00PM weigh-in (assuming we weigh in at 3:00PM).  Should be a really solid day if the weather cooperates.

Thanks man, I was just about to check that.

[shimmy]

Hey quanjig, i'm gettin the feeling that most people here know this reservoir pretty well. I have that strange feeling that at the sound of the buzzer, everyone will jet off to their majic hotspot while you and i paddle along the shore line searching for something...

Since we only have a John boat it only seems fair that we get to weigh in 8 fish. I am sure that everyone will be ok with that.

With that said, i have this sixth sense feeling that we will be rippin a lot of lips on saturday, and whats this...Quanjig and Shimmy in the 5 foot boat paddle towards the weigh in, all four arms are needed to lift the bulging bag of fish, they are then placed on the scale, a new record is set, everyone cheers and then takes shimmy and quanjig to lunch.

[Dan:]

It's not a reservoir, it's the river below the reservoir between the dam and the P'mac. It is tidal. Neither soccplayer nor Matt have fished this area, and I have only fished it once for crappie (although we may head out in the river to other spots). I have no idea if RockvilleMDAngler has fished this area but I don't think NewAngler has fished it. So most of us know little to nothing about this area, I think quanjig probably has the most experience there.

Also, quanjig, since I know you fish the tournaments at Fountainhead, I'm assuming your boat has a 9.9hp outboard? I'm just assuming, but Shimmy, I don't think you're going to have to worry about paddling.

just to clarify, Im feelin good and am on antibiotics however myself and Thai will be fishing pretty far from you guys around DC. And I dont wanna have to spend 40 bux in gas just to come 15 miles down river and show off our 5 pounders. I'm sure you guys will have a blast. Theres alot of wood on the oqc. river and Im willing to bet it will have alot of boats on it too. Im just kinda tired of fishing that part of the river lately and prefer to go after the bigger fish up north. You guys should catch a decent amount of 2-3 pounders tho if you know what youre doing. The baby buzzbait(eighth ounce) early in the mornin in that calm no wake zone water might work well btw. Also dont forget about the rock jetties by leesylvania for those of you in small boats. You can throw crankbaits and do well there. Theres no big waves there to worry about. If something changes then we'll show up but dont count on us being there.
