Hyrule Bass Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Heading to Smith Mtn Lake in the morning, and possibly a slim chance maybe tonite. Hope the power is on there, either way good thing i dont need power to fish. Have a safe and happy 4th everyone. Quote
Zoff Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I might be heading up there in the morning as well but it looks like a storm rolling in at this time. Not sure what the morning will bring. Quote
outdoorsman110 Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Woo! Finally getting back out on the Potomac, my whole Alaska trip threw off my bass fishing. Quote
shimmy Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Woo! Finally getting back out on the Potomac, my whole Alaska trip threw off my bass fishing. Hey, now that your back, you still need to post a picture of your 8 and half pounder from the potomac. For those of us not catching any 8's recently, pictures seem to suffice. Hope you caught some monster Halibut. Quote

It's was more along the lines of 7 haha who doesnt stretch a pound or a couple oz every once in a while! Haha halibut,Flounder, yellow eyed rockfish, cod and pollack were among the many fish I came across Quote
quanjig Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Uh oh........ Shimmy does not like it when you exaggerate! Either it was or it wasn't! Remember, there are those of us that will call you out in a hurry for just an educated guess!! jk! Quote

Haha halibut, Flounder, yellow eyed rockfish, cod and pollack were among the many fish I came across tis true what Jon says. But, nevertheless, i have that much more respect for this young man that he manned up and set the story straight. A 7 is still a monster out there. Congrats to him. He can stretch it and tell the truth while fishing. The best of both worlds i guess. 1 Quote
Super User Sam Posted July 16, 2012 Super User Posted July 16, 2012 Fished the Rappahannock River on Saturday, July 14. Caught 8 with 4 keepers. Lost a nice 2.5 one at the boat due to my negligence and not checking the line for cuts and nicks due to fishing in the wood on the main river. Had 10 bites all day. The other one I lost wrapped me around a log and broke off. I had a little part of his lip on my hook. Overall, nice day due to overcast skies and only got rained on three times. Quote
Bigbarge50 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Seems the insane heat in NOVA might be moving into just serious heat...... maybe the action will improve Quote
JSPOONE Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 last week or so i have caught all my bass on junebug senko and dingers. all have been in the 1-3 pound range. will probably go to my secret honey hole if i get a chance to today since its not to hot out Quote
Zoff Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Put 6 in the boat this morning at SML. Not any big size. 5 were 1.5 to 2 pounds. The biggest was 3.5 pounds. All on a Chartreuse crankbait. Quote
Bigbarge50 Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Nice Zoff..... 3.5 is a really good fish! Quote
JSPOONE Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 went fishing last night at my local honey hole.. 8 bass in less than 2 hours not a bad day but nothing of size. im back today n doing the same thing.. met a poor kid who wants to fish and learn so i told him i will teach him and get him a rod and reel so he can start if he keeps coming out.. hit a soft spot when he told me he lives in a shelter with his mom =/. so i figured i will help the kid out Quote
Bigbarge50 Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Tip of the cap there spoone and good luck with the bass, this heat is brutal....... 42 day in NOVA with heat above 90..... yuck Quote

Glad to see you giving back to the angler community. Quote
JSPOONE Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 thanks man.. he came out last night and he caught his first dink bass.. kid couldnt have been happier Quote
Hyrule Bass Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 thanks man.. he came out last night and he caught his first dink bass.. kid couldnt have been happier thats great what youre doing. sometimes all a kid needs is to know someone cares and are willing to help them. that dink bass could set the course for him to be confident and positively impact the rest of his life in non-fishing ventures...

Hyrule Bass Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 finally got to do some fishing for the first time since 4th of july weekend this past saturday. hit up a small pond for about an hour. Around the entire pond from the bank to 3-4 feet out was covered in thick algae top to bottom, but i still could fish the middle and edges of this stuff, and thats what i did. started off with a weightless t-rigged baby rage craw in summer craw, and finished with a rage tail lizard in watermelon w red and black flake. both landed me fish and i only used one of each the whole time. i caught 6 altogether. 3 of them right around 2lbs +/- and the others smaller. not bad for an hour, since i went from noon-1pm. ive seen times at this pond where the bass wont bite anything except in the late evenings. also, the weather was decent, it was partially cloudy and mid80s id guess, so the heat wasnt too bad. definately needed that little bit of time that i spent fishing, it set the tone for a nice relaxing weekend...

dcwilmer Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Went fishing sunday on claytor lake and caught a limit in about 45 mins. Plan on heading to claytor again in the morning so hopefully i can figure out the fish again. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted August 14, 2012 Super User Posted August 14, 2012 I fished at Hunting Run yesterday, caught a bunch of dinks as usual. Quote
Super User deep Posted August 14, 2012 Super User Posted August 14, 2012 Been busy lately learning to punch mats. If dinks are all I'm going to catch, I might as well catch them with a new technique. Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted August 14, 2012 Super User Posted August 14, 2012 Wow guy's !!! Glad to hear everyone is catching some fish anyway, dinks or not it still sounds like a lot of fun !!! Quote
