RockvilleMDAngler Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 If the weather cooperates I am gonna be launching out of Belle Haven on Sunday and fishing the Belle Haven/Ft. Washington/Mt. Vernon area, anyone else gonna be out? I haven't hit the river in weeks as I had tournaments on Anna and the Middle River and then had two funerals to go to. I hope I didn't miss the fall action! Are the snakeheads still biting? Quote
LHC - Bank Robber Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Thai/ Dan/ LHC- Next tuesday sound good for you guys? I may be able to get out of work fir a little while. I might be down there dont know what ill be doing on tuesday yet, but im gettin ready to head back down there today. Quote
Bigs Posted October 31, 2009 Author Posted October 31, 2009 I wanted to go out yesterday but it was windy and choppy so I did a lil shore fishing instead but caught nothing. Looks like its gonna be 15-20 mph winds today so I'll stay in yet again. Can we get just a couple days in the 60's with wind less then 10 mph ? sheeesh > Thai , you fish yesterday or today ? Any luck ? Quote
Thai Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 yeah yesterday Dan and I went to some ponds and caught over 40 bass! Then I went to the river afterwards and caught a few If you want to fish from shore and catch fish you should come up here, Im trying to find someone to fish with Quote
RockvilleMDAngler Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Unfortunately I did not hit the water today as the rain scared me off. I regretted my decision by noon but by then I was ready to watch the NFL. I hope to get out next weekend and hopefully the bite will still be strong. Quote

Super User Dan: Posted November 3, 2009 Super User Posted November 3, 2009 What Thai didn't mention was that about 30 of those fish weighed less than a pound! ;D Quote
Thai Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 There were bass none the less and it made for an action packed morning with some chunks towards the end! post up pictures of the big ones Quote
shimmy Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 There were bass none the less and it made for an action packed morning with some chunks towards the end! post up pictures of the big ones Private ponds? Come on man. I am always lookin for a fishin buddy. Give me a PM next time yall go. The love needs to be spread around here fellas. I have Been here two months and haven't found any ponds quite yet.How big were some of your chunkers? Quote
Super User Dan: Posted November 3, 2009 Super User Posted November 3, 2009 That was the biggest from Lake "X." ....although it was the biggest of about 30 on a cold, windy morning. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted November 3, 2009 Super User Posted November 3, 2009 They aren't necessarily private, just secret. Many times that I've "spread the love" around here someone else ends up spreading my love farther than I wanted to. Obviously there's a few exceptions but I have a few lakes that I don't take other people to until I've fished with them a few times to decide if I can trust them or even want to fish with them in the future.

Thai Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 everytime I've "spread the love" around here someone else ends up spreading my love farther than I wanted to.

Oh I love it when you talk dirty to me lol But Dan hit it on the nose right there and out of respect for him I can't "spread his love" either Quote
soccplayer07 Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 haha. Dan, I did well on the Potomac today. 9 fish in two hours. Average around 2.5lbs. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted November 3, 2009 Super User Posted November 3, 2009 haha. Dan, I did well on the Potomac today. 9 fish in two hours. Average around 2.5lbs. Nice, dude! Give me a call if you need a partner (besides tomorrow) Quote
shimmy Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Aha, I see what you mean Dan. Back to my training it is then. We'll see if this little red hen can conjure up something. Quote
Bigs Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 Me and my ole lady took the stratos out today but only for about 2 hours. She had to pee the entire time and I was gettin mad annoyed. So all I caught was one 2 pound striper under the bridge on a rattle trap. Then tammy decides she wants to throw one too. So I gave her my sol spinning setup that I was throwin and of course within 5 casts of bangin up my rattle trap on the bridge she broke the lure in half. That was my fave rattle trap too, a moment of silence please :'( The water was chocolate milk and the fish just werent there today. So I ended up takin her back so she could pee, that was my excitement for the day. the end Quote
Bigs Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 haha. Dan, I did well on the Potomac today. 9 fish in two hours. Average around 2.5lbs. Mattawoman creek ? Quote
Thai Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 lol sorry to hear about your trap bro, next time leave the broad, i can back your trailer up like a champ lol Quote
Bigs Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 sall good, since she's an artist, Im gonna have her custom airbrush some of my other rattle traps to look like the other and paint a bunch of my crankbaits while she's at it. I wish I knew where in mount vernon you caught 9 fish in 2 hours soccplayer, I saw nothing but muddy water when I was there yesterday, I didnt even so much as see a largemouth bass in the 2 hours I was there. Im hopin the water will clear up by today or tommorow so I can try my luck again. What were you catchin them on ? Quote

Up in the creek the last few days has been tough, try the grass just north of the creek, I had about 7 or 8 today before tide started going out and they shut down (the hot bait was a fluke). Quote
Thai Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 sorry to burst your bubble Steve but that water isnt likely to clear anytime soon, if you look closely at it its isnt muddy it's stained from the tannins in the falling leaves...which acts as a natural buffer and actually lowers the p.h which depending on previous levels from the past rains might make it more comfortable for the fish. And the stained water will make let them feed more comfortable as you cant see them as easily. Forget about being able to see the bass since that means they can see you and just throw some senkos or flukes and wait for the inevitable bite. Quote
Bigs Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 I didnt even try throwin the flukes yesterday , maybe I should have. Are you guys using weights with flukes and if so what weight and what hook ? I had one rigged up weightless, just never threw it. The weekend and monday are gonna be great for fishing, mild temps but more importanly hardly any wind at all. Today is agood day too with winds around 5-7 mph. I cant stand fishing in the wind from my boat, I end up constantly on the trolling motor and I can never stay in one good spot for more then a minute or too without drifting. Quote
Bigs Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 oh and btw, Tammy threw senkos for 2 hours and didnt even get a nibble. Quote
