Went Out On Lake Smith

[dhami013]

Went out to Lake Smith with my roommate, first time I've been out there. My boat is unregistered and so is my trailer so I don't have it down at school with me. So we were beating the bank. I left my good rods in Fredericksburg with my boat so all I had was my ultralight. I tried everything. Lipless, bitsy minnows, small grubs, popper, creature bait, and wacky rigged. Granted I didn't get to venture around the area too much, I got there kinda late in the day.

So I think the areas I was fishing were just really pressured. So I'm looking forward to heading out there again soon.

Anyone ever fish there before?

Hey now,

I grew up on that lake, on the north side by Shore Drive. Usually don't catch great numbers but there are a lot of big fish in the lake. They love the heavy cover.

Good luck.

A lot of the drainage control lakes in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach have big fish also.

Knock em out,

I went out there again today, late in the day again. Skunked. Two guys were out there today and caught a 6# on live minnows. I'm not real familiar with the Norfolk or Chesapeake area and have no clue where to go.
