central va meet and greet/ fun tournament

[s13john]

s13John,

Yes, any place where we need a boat would be cool to fish but we have guys who don't have boats nor have ever fished out of a bass boat which would pose a big problem.

In addition, we need one boat for every two guys which magnifies the problem.

So if we meet at Innsbrook we can see who we want to take out on our boats and plan for a private tournament on a local river or lake when the lake water levels improve.

What do you think?

sounds good to me

innsbrook is a good pond since not everyone has a boat as sam stated and even begginers at fishing that want to come can have success there because its easy to catch fish the harder part is to catch the ones 3.5+lbs there i have been fishing there around 40ish times always caught atleast 2 and about 6-7 of them were over 3.5lbs

I have fished only 1 of the innsbrook ponds on cox rd bc i used to work in those buildings that backed up to lake. I remember reading signs sayins you must work or be affiliated with the buildings at innbrook in order to fish but then again that was over 5yrs ago. Just wondering if anyone from the offices or that manages innsbrook area will say anything to us being that we will have a large group of people fishing at the same time?? would hate to get ran off...

[Sam]

Probably not.

I am one of the Community Group consultants (their office is on the lake) and I don't think we will have any problems.

I pulled a couple 4 pounders out of there in the spring time, but nothing like that since it's gotten hot.  I still haven't figured out a good pattern in this summer heat

Works for me as well, I agree with heading to Innsbrook for shorefishing instead of a large body of water/

[Bigs]

I wll try to make it if innsbrook is the spot, my bassboat is down for a few weeks so I cannot fish lake anna or any other big body of water till my neighbor rebuilds my carbs  >

I've been out to Lake Rooty in Innsbrook last Sunday and Monday. It's the one located on the corner of Cox and Nuckols. I caught a nice limit of LMB; most being around 3+lbs. I focused on the aquactic plants in the pond. I planned to go back out this evening and Sunday morning.

[Syppy]

Anyone have an address I can plug into the GPS to get there?  Tried looking up Innsbrook on Google, and it didn't really show me a body of water. 

Gonna try to make it, but I've gotta work that night, so I don't know how long I can stay.

[VAfishin]

what's been working for you all at innsbrook?  I've been hitting them with shallow crank baits, but I'm looking to try something else.

[Reel_Kaotic]

Primarily I use a chartreuse/white spinner with tandem blades; preferably a copper willow blades.  Or a senko rigged wacky style or texas.

[Sam]

kaotic1, ever try a Chatterbait? 

[Reel_Kaotic]

Not there' but I'll take one out this evening and see what it produces.

[Sam]

Super.

Please let us know if it is productive. 

[Reel_Kaotic]

Not to productive on lake rooty this evening, it seem most of the fish was holding in deeper water. There was patches of algae in certain areas; that wasn't there last week. The heat played a major factor too; try again another day.

[cmatthews6485]

is it still going on this sunday and if so what time and did you guys all want to meet at the market cafe/gas station right on the corner of nuckols and cox or what we should probally start planning this out

[Sam]

Sounds like a plan. 

[racer894]

I unfortunately asked off from work 8/20 to 8/22 for this meet and greet and some other reasons, and my work was kind enough to schedule me from 4pm-9:30pm fri, 8am-9:30pm sat, 11am-7:30pm sun, and 9am-2pm mon.

Screw retail. I want to find a real job. I just graduated in May with a Bachelors and its hard. I will be having a talk with them about my schedule tonight when I go in. my previous supervisor approved it, then he left and the new one denied me... >

[Reel_Kaotic]

Is there a meeting time?

[cmatthews6485]

thats what im trying to figure out whats a good time for everyone

[Sam]

7 AM?

6:30 AM?
