dhami013 Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 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? Quote

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, K O Quote

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. Quote
