VABasser Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 About a week ago I looked at the extended forecast and thought maybe this Sunday would be a good day to hit the water for the first time this year. Well the weather took a turn for the worst and I woke up to about 5 or so inches of snow. That didn't deter me, I was still out front of my house pitching and flippin a casting weight to isolated cover like electrical boxes, fire hydrants and windows. Needless to say I think cabin fever is getting to me. :-? Quote
Super User T-rig Posted February 25, 2007 Super User Posted February 25, 2007 Don't get depressed! SPRING IS COMING!!! Quote
SneakySnook Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 What's all that white stuff over everything? See that you have a buc jacket on I guess you rather be down in Florida. 80 and windy today. Don't worry spring should be coming soon. Quote
georgiabassfisherman Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 what were they biting that day jk Gary Quote
NHBA Charlie Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 VaBasser You should have been with me that Sunday. My partner and I were catching bass all day on the hot side of Lake Anna. In addition, we also caught crappie, catfish and sunfish. Good day! Caught most of the fish on the drop shot, but also took fish on Silver Buddy, Bill Norman deep little N, black grub on 1/8th oz. jighead and four inch plastic ringworm in electric blue/fire tail. Fish were located at the base of steep dropping banks in 17-20' of water in the morning and up in 3-5' in the afternoon after the sun warmed things up a little. Worst part of the day was having to clean the road grime off the boat after dragging it 100 miles over snow covered roads. Quote
VABasser Posted March 2, 2007 Author Posted March 2, 2007 Well I just couldn't seem to get bit on a 1/2 oz casting weight, I just didn't understand why not. Seemed like a good pattern to me. NHBA, I bet you had the lake to yourself. I'm planning on getting out this weekend for sure. I can't wait. Snook I used to live in Tampa, I'm a big Bucs fan, maybe this next season will be better than last years. :-/ Quote
fish-fighting-illini Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Man Va that is a lot like it looks here. I am sick of winter. Now get that gear covered up so as not to ruin motors and such. To make matters worse late March should be getting nicer...now my boss tells me he's sending me to Buffalo NY for a week at the end of March!!!! lol I can't win for losin! Quote
MattStrykul Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 dang man why no cover on that boat?! I'm going down to Gaston again this weekend, it'll be the 4th weekend in a row. ;D no snow there Quote
VABasser Posted March 2, 2007 Author Posted March 2, 2007 No cover because we had been out the night before giving it a cleaning and it got dark on us. We planned to go out again the next day because all they had called for was rain so we left it uncovered. Turns out the weatherman was wrong, : Quote
NHBA Charlie Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 VaBasser: Actually, there were lots of boats on the lake. It shocked me. I was unable to get to a number of my spots due to boats sitting on them. I understand that there was a tournament on the hot side that morning, but I do know there were plenty of boats. More than I have ever seen at one time on that side of the lake. Quote
SneakySnook Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 VA the Bucs can't be any worse than last year. At least I hope not. Quote
fezkoe Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 I feel your pain man. It just snowed by me again, right as the other snow melted. Ha. I was really looking forward to fishing this weekend. Oh well, guess ill just have to wait a bit longer. Hope the weather gets nice around you. Quote
