Brick Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Neighborhood lake in NOVA on a 5" swimbait. I'm hitting the occ res in a couple of hours when I wake up. Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted February 17, 2012 Super User Posted February 17, 2012 Neighborhood lake in NOVA on a 5" swimbait. I'm hitting the occ res in a couple of hours when I wake up. Nice job Brick!!! I think swim baits and spinners are the trick right now since the weather is a little windy and the water is a little choppy, but if you find a lay down or two I like top water in these conditions as well.

quanjig Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Hope you have a jb tied on *wink*wink*! Quote
Ej Thomas Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Tuff day on the water not a single bite. The big girls must of had a girls day out. Hope the wife let's me sneak out tomorrow for redemption. Quote
endless Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 Same here Ej. Me and my brother went out today on a neighborhood lake around 8:00 till 11:30 maybe and the same not even a bite.Tthe water temperature was 42 degrees this morning and by the end of us leaving it reached 44 degrees. I tried 2 different spinnerbaits, and a wacky worm. My brother tried wacky, T-rig, rattle trap, and couple of different crankbaits. It was nice to at least get out and try. I notice they removed some of the trees and brush in the lake that I fished during the fall, I wonder why? The geese must of said the water was too cold as well they waited till 10 to get on the water lol and there were 2 beavers out and about on the lake. I'm not sure when I will get back out but do, need, and haven't yet tested my motor on open water yet for my jonboat. I need to get over to AP Hill and renew my fishing permit. Quote
quanjig Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 One of three I caught on the occoquan res today, also lost a stud! Jb was working well! Quote
Ej Thomas Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Got back on the pond today and missed a 5er. She hit twice. Swung to early the first time didn't get a hook in her. Pitched back at her she hit and I moved her to the top and pop. Lure comes flying pass me. She flopped one good time so I could see her. Had two bites all her. Tight lines Quote
Bigbarge50 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Great fish quanjig..... What was the water temp on the res? No matter the temp, it is a very impressive catch. Maybe we all can get some more fishing in tomorrow before the storms come and the temp drops. Quote
quanjig Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 My ff stopped giving me temp readings I have figured out its the ducer! So I am not sure what the actual reading is. If I had to guess, I'd say 40-45 tops. I've got a spot on the res that has been a jb magnet for the past 5 years, wish I could have gotten the big one I had hooked tho! Quote
endless Posted February 19, 2012 Author Posted February 19, 2012 Nice quanjig and sorry to hear Ej. Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted February 20, 2012 Super User Posted February 20, 2012 One of three I caught on the occoquan res today, also lost a stud! Jb was working well! Nice job, thats a good looking catch !!! For those of you not having any luck and water temps in the 40's have you tried a hair jig yet? Quote
hotrod Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 fished cold side of Anna Sat. in the VAO tourney. There were 4 sacks over 14 lbs. with the winning bag at 15.5lbs. We caught 3 fish, one being my best fish on Anna to date at 5.03 lbs. It was a nice day to be on the water! Quote

Did you stay in Sturgeons all day or primarily south of that? Quote
hotrod Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Sturgeons and down lake. never were able to put together any kind of pattern but the jerkbait has been working well lately. I caught mine on a fluke. Quote

Brick Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 One of three I caught on the occoquan res today, also lost a stud! Jb was working well! Nice fish. You launch from bull run or Lake ridge? Quote
Brick Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 For those wondering the water temp on the occoquan res. I took off out of bullrun the other day. Temps were 45 in the main body, and near the launch before we took out it was 48 in the late afternoon. That was right before the cold snap. It was really windy too. Quote
quanjig Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Brick, I have access to hooes run so I usually launch from there untill FH opens back up. Quote
Brick Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Where is hooes run? Is that the private entrance at the end of forrest hill rd? Quote
Brick Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 yeah I've driven all the way out there to find that it is gated shut. lol. I haven't really fished that end of the res. I've got a small craft with just a trolling motor. I usually launch from bull run or fountainhead. I've got a buddy who's house backs up to the sandy run finger, but haven't launched from there yet. Hoping to explore that end a little this year. I fish on the other side of the dam too. Quote
Soulgasm Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Had a few good days trolling for crappie, went fishing on the Mattaponi and caught some small cats but no bass. Quote
