fountain head

[Live to Learn]

Hey guys,

My first real evening of fishing the resi.  Launched out of Fountainhead, picked up my buddy at Lake ridge.   CREW People everywhere!   We fished the third point after lake ridge on the right, if you leave to the right.  No luck on that point or in the cove.    Fished one of the other points on the wall side, no luck.   Crossed the Res to a cove that has big tall trees coming out of the middle. Fished the point then went in the cove... Nothing.   

I just want to say this place is tricky compared the the potomac, we go there and catch bass every time we go it never fails.   

Either the fish were holding deep or i just dont know.  We were throwing spinners, creature baits, craink baits, wacky worms weighted.

I am just dumbfounded that I caught nothing. I do believe that i need to find the baitfish they are feeding on since it seems like it is still pre spawn.   

This was Tuesday evering the 4.20 actually.

its a very tough fishery. it takes time to learn it. once you do it is very rewarding. I'm still learning it as well. The spawn has started. In out last tourney (Sunday) people were catching bedding fish. It was a very tough day as well. We didn't catch our first keeper until 10am. All of our fish were holding very tight to cover. Put in the time...you will not be disappointed!

as of now, the boats been in the water 3 times since I have owned it.  2 times out of lake ridge and 1 out of fountainhead. I plan to put in at fountainhead mainly because I live in Herndon.   

What was the big fish weight of the tourney last weekend?

[soccplayer07]

I don't recall the exact weight. It is almost always in the 6lb class.
