JVM Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Well Shim is new to area, they r rollin Jon, and two/team versus three... D@mn!t thats who im rootin for got it Socc!!! Quote
quanjig Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 thanks for the compliment Aaron. Matt is quite the stick as well. just the product of too much time and mispent, often, money I don't have!!! Quote
mudkart Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 I've been reading this thread w/ some jealousy: can't make it this weekend. As of last weekend, there were plenty of fish to be had in the general area you are fishing. Some guys reported catching up to 35 in a 9 hour tx ( I can't say what percentage of these were keepers), and I'm reasonably sure they did not leave the no wake zone. Just keep in mind that if you enter that no wake zone from the Potomac at 2:55 and weigh in is at 3:00, you'll never make it to the ramp on time. It takes a good 15-20 min (that is, if you do intend to leave no wake). Quote
NewAngler Posted November 21, 2009 Author Posted November 21, 2009 In. Just prepared my gear. You guys better start fighting for silver, the gold already has a home. Oh, and socc, I'll let you peek into the winning bag. Maybe. Is it right on 123? Just before orjust after the bridge depending on the direction you're heading? Quote
Thai Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 In. Just prepared my gear. You guys better start fighting for silver, the gold already has a home. Oh, and socc, I'll let you peek into the winning bag. Maybe. Is it right on 123? Just before orjust after the bridge depending on the direction you're heading? Pretty confident for someone who doesnt know how to get there lol! Quote
Super User Dan: Posted November 21, 2009 Super User Posted November 21, 2009 lmao! NewAngler, you will see a big sign for the park right there off of 123. When you turn in, you have to drive back through the park for a while to get to the boat ramp. Quote
soccplayer07 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 well said Thai!!! No way we're loosing with our roster! Quote
quanjig Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 that is very funny...... "we're gonna win.....uh.....where is it........uh........right.....ummmmmm.........errrrr......left..........." Quote
NewAngler Posted November 21, 2009 Author Posted November 21, 2009 Should have made two different posts, ey? Regardless, VICTORY. With the big fish on our boat. Wheres smack talkin', hawg hoistin', Shimmy? Quote
soccplayer07 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 shimmy is the least of your worries... Quote
Thai Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 shimmy is the least of your worries... i don't know Aaron he could swipe your drain plugs! JK Shimmy Quote
NewAngler Posted November 21, 2009 Author Posted November 21, 2009 I already have his drain plugs. That eliminates one team... just gotta worry about Team Jon Boat Quote
shimmy Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 I will have the last post for the night. The Lion does not need his sleep. Sleep away little kittens, sleep. This paddle boat will be ready to go. Quote
JVM Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 And the fishing is Onnnnnnn! Decent weather, hope ya'll are slayin em! Quote
NewAngler Posted November 21, 2009 Author Posted November 21, 2009 Well... the talking shouldn't have started from me. We decided on a 6 fish bag, 12 inch or larger. Dan, Matt and Aaron (soccplayer) took the Gold with a total weight of 6 fish weighing 9 lbs 12 oz (i think) with the net Jonh (quanjig) and Troy (Shimmy) came in second with 5 boated fish and 7 lbs even Myself, Mark (RockvilleAngler) and Chris (cmatthews) came in third place with 2 boated fish and a weight of 3 lbs and some change.. All in all it was a good time, nice to put a face to the names.. OH! and our boats biggest fish was caught on a 3 in. senko! Us fools got a total of ZERO pictures. Quote
LHC - Bank Robber Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Good to hear you guys all got some fish. Even better to hear the 3inch senko pulled in your big fish. I was stuck doing yard work all day, but did stumble across another pack of 3inch senkos, so ill prob be down at riverside tomorrow. Quote
Bigs Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 we just did alright out there today. After an eventful launch which entailed me forgettin to put the drain plug in and realizing it once the boat was all the way in the water, we then set out for the spoils. Thai caught two 1 and a half pounders there within about 30 minutes. I once again managed to lose a 10 dollar spinner bait that snapped off when I cast. P line sucks. Then we moved on to blue plains but stayed for maybe 5 minutes, then off to mt vernon where Thai caught two more and I caught my only fish which was 1.8 pounds. He was a bit long and skinny or else he might have been a lil closer to 3, oh well. Was a rough stressful day out there, very windy. I made the mistake of gettin behind a yacht which threw me some 5 foot waves. We were airborne for a few seconds lol. First time I ever gotten wet in my stratos. The river kicked my a$$ today. At least I got the boat home safe and sound. And on top of that someone bought the silver daiwa pixy I was gonna buy on here, Im not happy. Such is life. Quote
cmatthews6485 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 sorry to rockville and newangler today was my first skunk of the year we just couldnt find the fish today even if i boated a keeper we still would have lost. next time i will be more prepared and will make sure that my team doesnt loose. I tried spinnerbaits crankbaits jigs senkos lizards space monkey rage tail andaconda paca craw and swimming senko i missed the only good bite i had and it was probally only about 12 inches anyways wouldnt of helped us much. Quote
cmatthews6485 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 It was fun watching rockville(mark) fight that atleast 40 pound catfish for 5-10 minutes on 6lb line test and bring him all the way to the boat just to watch it snap, didnt have a big enough net to land him Quote
Super User Dan: Posted November 21, 2009 Super User Posted November 21, 2009 I was going to write up a report but I think NewAngler's will suffice. I will add that most of our fish were caught on soft plastic swimbaits over in Mattawoman creek. Over in Occoquan was tough, I don't know what would have happened if we had stayed over there.... Nice to meet you all. We should definitely do something like this again. Shimmy, sorry, I should have clarified about Google Map's bad directions. I thought about that last night but forgot to make a post. I don't know why they think that road exists, but it sure doesn't! And for the record, I believe all but one of the largest fish were caught on large baits. Quote

Chris, where do you usually fish down in your neck of the woods? Is it similar to the Potomac? Quote
quanjig Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 That was a tough day. It was very nice to meet all of you and have a laugh at our great acomplishments of absolutly whacking the dog snot out of those beautyful 12 inch whoppers!! Kinda glad we did'nt have the camera ready. : Quote
cmatthews6485 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Im used to shore fishing lakes sometimes rivers but if im river fishing im wading. I have been on a boat three times this year and did great but one was a resovoir and the other was a river. I fish innsbrook swift creek resovoir, pochoantas state park, james river, ed allens(chicohomany lake) and other small but good lakes around richmond that are in woods and hardly fished. Usually i catch atleast 5 in 3 hours of fishing. Quote
