luv2fish33 Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Sounds fun, im always up for finding new places to fish and buddies to fish with Quote
VAfishin Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Yea I'm always up for meeting new people and possibly fishing new places. Quote
vegas679 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 I'm in if I can clear it with management aka the wife. Wish I would not have just given away all my Lake Rooty secretes in the other thread. I fish there a lot. Quote
hookingem Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Well so is the affirmative date in march or this Saturday? Quote
SimonSays Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 I'm down for Powhatan, wouldn't mind taking my kayak out there Quote
Aluma-Bass Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 is powhatan lakes still a possibility boat and shore angler friendly another vote for powhatan lakes! 8-) Quote
vegas679 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 I heard that the fishing at Powatan is not that great. Something about recently fixing the dam and restocking. Quote
vegas679 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 I also think that Lake Rooty could use some pond/lake management. I wouldnt mind if when we all met up that some people keep the smaller fish, and transport them to Lake Echo right down the street, off of Springfield Rd. They dredged that lake 2 years ago, and it could use some help with the bass population. Any thoughts? Quote

Fish die in transport often and you can introduce disease and bacteria to Lake Echo. Best to keep them where they are. Quote
hookingem Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Im all for Powhatan Lakes. Lets just get a permanent date set up! Quote
Reel_Kaotic Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I'm all in for Powhatan Lake, it'll be my first trip there. I'll bring my Jon. I can do any Saturday, except for this Saturday. Quote
Carrington Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 im still voting for anna lol, i have one seat on my boat so i could take out 1 person. Quote
hookingem Posted March 2, 2011 Author Posted March 2, 2011 If you ever have an open seat when your headed out on anna let me know I'd be more than happy to fill it im still voting for anna lol, i have one seat on my boat so i could take out 1 person. Quote
Bigs Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 I fished the community docks in my neighborhood today on the private side of Lake Anna and caught a bunch of fish in about half hour , biggest was right around 4 pounds. Quote
Reel_Kaotic Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 @Bigs: Nice catches! Don't Lake Ann would be the ideal place for me to take small Jon, however would like to fish there eventually. Quote
Bigs Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 you can fish the private side in a friggin raft if u wanted to. The water is like glass there all year until mid summer when the renters come with ski boats. Lemme know. I'll let u in one day with ur jon boat. U wont have to go but a thousand feet from the dock at the most to catch quality fish. Once Late April hits the fish will go deep. Quote
vegas679 Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 I'm out at LKA quite often. My best friends parents live there. They're in the Gerdome Island neighborhood, off of Moody Town Rd. It's nice to have a bass boat on the lift year round. Just put it in the water and go. Quote
vegas679 Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 All this talk of Powatan Lakes....I had to go and buy a Jon Boat. I found one on craigs list. 10 ft aluminum boat w/ 2 seats and a 30 lb Minn Kottta trolling motor for $200. Just hope I have time to get it registered before the meet and greet. Now I just need a battery and one of those telescopeing portable fish finders from BPS, and I'll be ready to go. Quote
Reel_Kaotic Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 @Bigs: Thanks, I'm going to take you up on your offer sometime soon before the end of April. @vegas679: You may come out cheaper buying a wired fishfinder system, that's what I installed on mine. It was on sale at BPS for $79 last spring. Took only a few minutes to wire. Just use waterproof sealant around your bolts for the transmitter. I never considered the portable fishfinder, may work just as good. Great steal on the new boat, congrats! Had the same feeling last spring when brought mine. P.S.: Had the worst experience with Walmart deep cycle marine batteries. Returned twice. Quote
s13john Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 how about powhatan sat the 19th should be warmer by then and pre-spawn. say 8-9 am, have a fun tourny and mabey every one could bring some extra baits for prizes. Quote

Carrington Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 can anybody get me into a landing for the private side during this week? hoping to launch the boat and take my dad out. Quote
Bigs Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Carrington, just send me a pm. And for whoever has an open seat on something that doesnt sink, holla. Buyer for my BassCat left with it this morning so Im boatless till I find a suitable boat to replace it. If anyone has an 18 foot or bigger aluminum rig with a 90 or bigger on it then lemme know. Was thinkin bout gettin one and putting a powerpole on it. Quote
hookingem Posted March 4, 2011 Author Posted March 4, 2011 I say we meet at 7:00 at the boat ramp and have a little fun tourney and meet back at 12:00. How does that sound with you guys? Quote
