endless Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 Indeed let me know how Powhatan lake is if get the chance to fish it! Quote
Ej Thomas Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Had the tourney today on anna if was tough. Windy and cold most of the day, I stuck two for 3 and some change. It was a small club tourney so that was enough for a 4th place. We pay as a team and we took 1st. All came on shakey head and plastic. Water mid lake around 52. It was fun to get on the big waters again. Quote
quanjig Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Congrats EJ! Always fun to say you won!! Caught 9 today on the res. 6 were about like this one! Quote
Alex 703 Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 I have fishing my local ponds here with my little brother and having a blast doing so. mainly been using red eye shads here in these ponds because apparently there are shad ? in the pic below Quote
Brick Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Got out on the Occ. Res. today from about 1pm-7:30. Launched from fountainhead. Water temps 53-55. My buddy landed 3 early on, with the best being just under 2lbs. I landed two solid fish before 3:30 when the crew teams took over the reservoir. These are the two in the attached photos. But the real fun began about 30 minutes b4 dark when we ran into a large school of shad being pounded near the surface!! They were not hitting top water, but right below. I added 4 more fish in the 2-4 lb. range with a hard body swim bait, and my buddy added two more swimming a fluke in this 30 minute frenzy. Great day on the reservoir, and it looks good all week too.

Brick Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Oops. Here is the other pic. Also, how annoying are the crew teams to you other guys out there on the occ res? Can we start a petition to take away their bull horns, and make it so they can't practice 4 or 5 wide spanning across the entire reservoir? These coaches are teaching the kids some bad "water manners", and a couple of them sound like real a holes when they are out there screaming at the kids. It really is a nice peaceful reservoir when you don't have 6 crew coaches screaming into bullhorns within 1/4 mile of you. Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted March 13, 2012 Super User Posted March 13, 2012 WOW !!! Really nice to see everyone having some fun out there !!!!! Endless, LOL, I never realised how many posts I had until you mentioned it, I think it's more like 44 more posts though, so I still have a ways to go. FatG, NICE FISH MAN !!!!!! Is that out of one of your ponds? Heyitskirby, It's nice to see you posting again, I have not seen any of your posts for a while either, real nice job on the white bass, I don't think I have seen one that big. Quanjig, Sounds like you need a break LOL, you are rocking pretty good man congrats!!! Alex703, Really nice job, glad to hear your spending time with family, and thanx for the pics !!! Brick, Really nice job !!! even with all of the distractions. Ej, What can I say man, CONGRATS !!!!! Glad you got some really nice fish and had some fun on Anna. Quote
quanjig Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Brick, yes the crew boats are annoying but it's something you have to deal with. Having fished the res for 20 years now, I realize they are not going anywhere and it's best to just deal with them in the best possible way and move on. My boat when going slow puts out more of a wake than on plane and they always yell when you go past them on plane, so I give them what they want, nose of the boat as high as possible with the biggest rollers I can throw!! I have been asked to go to the bank to settle matters before with overzealous crew royalty! They think they own the place yes, but I think the county knows where most of the money comes from when it comes down to it!! Nice fish and glad to see you got on a nice chew at the end of the day. Bet you forgot all about the rowers after that!! Quote
endless Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 Nitro- that sucks if your not at 1,000 cause I see what you mean maybe I was just reading it wrong and got excited for you and couldn't see the 5 over a 9 lol. Well fellows have fun this week and hopefully I'm going out with the wife Thursday. Good luck! Quote

Well fellows have fun this week and hopefully I'm going out with the wife Thursday. Good luck! LOL what happens when you reach 1000 for you to get excited, someday I will make it there, I just hope that out of that 1000 I have helped at least one. Anyway I hope you do get the chance to go out on Thursday with the wife and I also hope you catch a few big ones. Have fun and be safe!!! Quote
endless Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 Thanks Nitro did you get your boat fixed? Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted March 14, 2012 Super User Posted March 14, 2012 Have not had the time my friend, I work 3 jobs right now and can't seem to get any time to myself, the part is only 20 couple bucks, I will get around to it eventually I hope, I really want to go fishing soon and I hope to get out there and meet a couple of you guys this season. Quote
endless Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 Indeed wow and you in need of a nice break. Well when do get out and will be an enjoying time hopefully. Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted March 14, 2012 Super User Posted March 14, 2012 Thanx endless, I hope to see you guys soon, if not I hope to be able to post a few pics as well lol. Quote

Bet you forgot all about the rowers after that!! I know the rowers aren't going anywhere. My sister was actually on the lake braddock crew team the first year they had one. i just wish that they would respect others space on the reservoir, and I really don't think the bullhorns are a necessity for the coaches to be heard by the team in a boat 10 yards away. Quote
quanjig Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Brick, yes, they could be more respectful. Bottom line is, they don't care! Most of the rowers that are in the private clubs that go out of Sandy Run are very courteous. The high school and college teams are another matter entirely. They have had run of the land for so long, they don't think they have to answer to anyone. Giving them use of bullhorns only makes them overly obnoxious!! I had a guy so close to me I could see the bottom of his boat yelling at me on one!! I told him to put that *** thing down, I can hear you plenty well from here! The members of Fountainhead Bass Club are all to familiar with the crew teams and at the start of each season and each tx, we tell everyone to expect the unexpected from them and that in all the years we have been fishing there, they have never lodged a complaint against the club. Kill them with kindness! Quote
