OneFisher85 Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Awful problem to have!! I don't mind catching stripers. But I was trying to catch bass. I'm still kinda new at it. Just wondering what people were catching them on right now. Quote

Just wondering what people were catching them on right now. I'm just kind of new to lake fishing. My biggest problem is finding fish. I don't have any fancy down or side imaging, just an old humminbird pro angler 400. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Quote

Zoff Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 I was speaking with a buddy of mine about SML. I am going and putting in at Penhook Saturday. He advised using a a spinner bait and slow roll it over the mouth of the cuts. I assume that this would work for most anything that can get deep enough. I am planning on using the spinners and give the BiteItBaits a try. Might even try a cranker or two. Quote
outdoorsman110 Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Going out on Lake Curtis tomorrow in the kayak, got it rigged for spring fishing. Quote

outdoorsman110 Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Let us know how it went at Curits when you get a chance. . I went yesterday to Curtis to scout out some areas and caught a couple nice 2lb bass on a jerkbait, tomorrow is supposed to be perfect so I'm gonna go out and work the structure. I live a mile from Abel and tried it out in January, a whole day fishing and caught 1 bass under a pound. I'll tell you how it goes, leaving at 8am. Quote
endless Posted March 7, 2012 Author Posted March 7, 2012 Tomorrow I'm taking the wife and we are going to Caroline Pines lake. With this nice weather hopefully we can catch some bass. I got her the new BPS Extreme spinning combo for wacky on valentines day and I hope she loves it. This will be her first time using the new combo. I'm looking to having a great time with her tomorrow. We kind of got a scare today by the drs saying she might be going into a miscarriage so we had to setup another sonagram. Luckily we got one today to not mess up tomorrow and the news after that was much better. The radiologist said everything looks fine beside a few little things dealing with the wife's PCOS. Hopefully everything stays going well and we will have our second child. Friday the wife is going on a field trip with our 4 year old for school. **** luck to any going out tomorrow or this weekend!

Soulgasm Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 endless, that sounds stressfull. glad to hear you got some good news. Hope all works out for you and your fam. I'll be fishing a friends pond tomorrow, the weather looks great for central VA. Quote

Tme2437 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Hey guys, new to the forum here. Haven't got out fishing yet this year, but hopefully soon. Mainly just fish rivers around the harrisonburg area which is where I live. Been to lake Anna and Smith Mountain a few times without much luck. But unfortunately getting rid of my boat so it's back to the rivers. Anybody In the Harrisonburg area been having much luck yet? Quote
Bigbarge50 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Got skunked today at Huntsman lake in NOVA.... water temps were a high of 52..... still a little cool. Good luck Endless with the Drs, glad you can get out a wet a line and blow off some steam. Quote
nastynate Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 been fishing the past two mornings at tom brooks lake. Caught one dinky bass today and 2 pickerel yesterday. Missed multiple fish today, seemed like they wouldnt commit to the bait. Using a bush hog T-rigged. I used a spinner bait today for a couple cast had one bass hit it repeatedly but couldnt set the hook in time. Find it odd how one fish can be all over the spinner bait but then no other fish had any interest in it . Quote
endless Posted March 8, 2012 Author Posted March 8, 2012 I must be to excited for today cause I'm up and couldn't sleep last night. Me and the wife is going fishing and this will be the first time this year the wife is going. I think I am more excited spending the day with her than truly going fishing? I hope today is a great day!! Good luck to everyone! Welcome to the forums Tme2437!! Thanks BigBarge50!! Quote

endless Posted March 8, 2012 Author Posted March 8, 2012 Is it going to be worst than yesterday? Quote
SteveinVA Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Hitting a private lake this afternoon. Hopefully i will finally catch soemthing this year. Got four rigs setup, sone with a LC pointer JB, One with a shaky head, one with a wacky rig, one with a chatterbait. First change will probably be to a jig with craw trailer, second...... who knows, hopefully I wont have to change anything. Anyone got any lure suggestions(types).. Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted March 8, 2012 Super User Posted March 8, 2012 Is it going to be worst than yesterday? 10 to 15 mph with gusts to 25, it's supposed to get worse as the day progresses, where are you going ? Quote

The jb would be my first suggestion, but since it's going to be windy, I would take a top water too like a buzz bait, it's going to be overcast also, so darken up your colors. Quote
endless Posted March 8, 2012 Author Posted March 8, 2012 Nitro- I'm staying local at a neighborhood lake in Caroline county. Hmm Buzzbait? Just might have to haha I love buzzbaits. Good luck SteveinVA!! I hope it won't be to bad today. After fishing I won't to try and convince my buddy to letting me come over later. I just got me a trap and skeet thrower and trying to shoot!! I also just finally got me my own shotgun this year. Quote
