soccplayer07 Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 I had a lot of fun today. tough conditions but at least every team got on fish. When is round two??? Quote
cmatthews6485 Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 I am ready for round two whenever every one else is. I know i can figure that place out next time. If i didnt think i could do good i wouldnt drive an hour and a half to fish it lol but i think i can do better next time Quote
soccplayer07 Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 you'll crush em next time. today was just a tough one. Quote
quanjig Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Chris, that place is tough to wrangle at times and we just happened to pick a toughy!! I'm telling you guys to try Burke. It only gets better for the next few weeks. The Occoquan will turn out some good fish now and again, but it sure can be a stinker as well. I bet we could get into some stripers tho Quote
Jake... Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 d**n, no1 brought a camera with them today?? i was hopin to at least see some pix of the action Quote
cmatthews6485 Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 I couldnt find my lucky BPS hat either this morning i was mad. And im going to pick up some swimbaits this week and try them around my local lakes and get a feel for them. What color jigs were you having best luck on i tried a black and blue strike king with a yum craw trailer and a pb&j booyah with a yum chunck trailer. got a few hits but were all short hits. Had the most hits on a rage tail lizard in watermelon red with a 3/8 oz bullet wait. Most of the water we fished was deeper so the wind was messing up my senko retrieve. No luck at all on spinner bait and crank bait i tried a rapala rattle trap no luck on that either but i didnt try it much it was the first time i used it i should of tried it more. I wanted to try the zoom super fluke in baby bass but i didnt know if it would be ok with all the wind. Quote
cmatthews6485 Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 not a 3/8oz bullet wait but a 3/16oz bullet wait Quote
shimmy Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Man today was nasty, but i think at the end of the tournament everyone realized that they each sucked it up today. There is really no room for excuses. Team Soccplayer07 did indeed take the gold. It should be noted, that not only did they get one more fish than me and quan, every little bass they had was a few ounces bigger than ours. Tough day, but fun and nice to meet people. I have a feeling that this is a good group of guys and will be a great learning forum for sharing the hot spots (don't worry, i'll contribute once i get out a little more). Not one fish was over 2 pounds for anyone today. One kicker fish could have won it for any team. I hurt quan today by sticking with big baits for too long. It was a gamble that did not pay off. Because of this, quan contributed 3 to the livewell and i only put 2 in their. Looks like Burke is next fellas. Quote
quanjig Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 shimmy, for not being familar with the location, you did very well sticking to your guns and staying "big". I'm just happy we caught what we did. considering the conditions, it was a fair result for the Occoquan river. Aaron Matt and Dan cheated and went to Mattowoman!!!! jk Quote
soccplayer07 Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 the river was fair game. i know other portions better than the occ so we left. your day is coming when you show us up at Burke!!! Quote
NewAngler Posted November 22, 2009 Author Posted November 22, 2009 Chris, stop beating yourself up man. We had a good time. MVP goes to Troy's wife for finally getting him there. If you were just 3 minutes later John and I would have been a pair. And a force to reckon with. Next time we should hit up the bar riht down the street for a celebration. Shimmy, what were you throwing as your big bait? Quote
quanjig Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 you know I'm just pokin' fun. believe me, I would have been out of the Occoquan in a heartbeat if i had a bigger boat!!! Quote
soccplayer07 Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 I'm heading to Burke Wednesday. anybody interested??? Quote
cmatthews6485 Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 If you have room and want a co-angler i wouldnt mind going but if you find other people thats understandable Quote
cmatthews6485 Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 what games do you play on XBL dan Quote
Thai Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 I would like to fish Burke if Matt doesn't come Quote
NewAngler Posted November 22, 2009 Author Posted November 22, 2009 What do you have against matt? Jealous of his angling skills? Quote
Super User Dan: Posted November 22, 2009 Super User Posted November 22, 2009 what games do you play on XBL dan Modern Warfare 2, of course! Quote
Super User Dan: Posted November 22, 2009 Super User Posted November 22, 2009 I used to but I don't even own it anymore. Quote
Thai Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 What do you have against matt? Jealous of his angling skills? I'm sorry who caught 4 fish and who caught none today? It has to be jealousy... ;D Sorry Matt for the humor at your expense bro lol Quote
Super User Dan: Posted November 22, 2009 Super User Posted November 22, 2009 wait, who are we talking about? Quote
Thai Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Cmatthew, dude who went out with Marc and Josh Quote
