I knew there had to be more to this thread than Mack's dink bass to amass 3 pages.
I can't do Memorial day ... anywhere ... that is, if I want to continue "relations" with my wife :)
I will...
I've fished this river farther down with little success. It was in March and rather chilly. I greatly appreciate your post as I was eyeballing those specific sections and internet scouting a few...
If the water is fairly shallow and the fish seem to be active, I burn them near the surface and cast constantly at anything that appears to hold fish. If I get a strike, but no hook up, I throw a...
Thank you for the photos. I am absolutely shocked at the water clarity. I would have never guessed it and no one I know fishes that area this time of year. Awesome. Congrats Tread!
When do they start to plow up that way? In other words, approximately what month does the muddy torrent begin?
BTW, nice fish! Oh, and I've spent the last hr researching how to put together a...
I've used a few soft style swimbaits this past year, but I'm by no means an expert. I've used the Tsunami brand soft swimbaits found at Dick's. They have an integrated weighted head and are...
More crankbaits/slashbaits and hard swimbaits for me this year.
I just ordered a few things from Tacklewarehouse (Including suspending rapala xraps, suspending bomber long As, and tru-tungston...
Is this something that's already planned or are you trying to plan one?
Not to be a Donny Downer, but I've lost my father as well. It was 1996, I was 19, he was 48. Every fishing excursion reminds me of him as he's the reason I'm into fishing today. Miss him a ton. ...
Ditto. One of the best printed resources available for the NC river fisherman.
Where are the photos???
I've never fished freshwater in your state, but I'm considering making a relatively long drive to SC to fish this weekend. I'm concerned about this week's rain.
I'm looking to get some info on...
Awesome. I love my 119. I started with a similar seat and changed it to a padded molded plastic walmart special. I'm thinking of changing it again. I wish I could find some outfit that sells the...
The Maryland section of this site is dead as a doornail. Thought you VA representatives may know something about this river. I visit the Frederick area frequently and fished this river a few times...
Nice smallies! I catch them on topwater plugs (spook) landing it right on those undercut banks, provided they're in the shade, even in the hot afternoons. I think I know where you were in that...
Something like this ...

19" Smallie! Yeehaw!
Congrats Mike.

I have the Olympus Stylus Tough 3000. I'm not impressed with the photos. Does poor in glare or low light conditions. Video is pretty good.
Looks great! Where are the strap provisions? My cart slides around under the canoe if I don't strap it down tight. I have one over the top in the middle, one fore around a thwart, and one aft...
I've never fished that far upriver in the Deep. There are some good 1/2 day floats further downstream that I've done. If you're willing to drive down to the 421 or 15-501 area the access is great...
It may have been the hat! Yeah, Mookie ... same place and not far downriver from last weekend's slaughter.
2nd verse, better than the first!
Not quite as many fish today as last weekend, but the size has definitely improved. I think I've found a new spot for spring bass.
Landed this fat mamma among...
Come on now ... don't hate on my straw hat!
Unfortunately there's a strong family history with cancer, so it's either the hat or slathering up with sunscreen.
Thanks for the kind words...
