i only added this cause i didn't know where to put an actual report.........anyway i fished burke lake yesterday and it took a while to finally find the fish but ended the day catching three bass in the last hour of fishing........the largest was 5lb 7oz.........they were all in around 5 ft of water relating to wood and i caught them on a black/blue/purple jig with a black/blue fleck chigger craw trailer....is anyone else fishing yet?? does anyone want to go fishing??

ok monday went to burke again.....nada.......not even a strike.....oh well, after today i have completely shifted gears......i caught the first few hickory shad of the year.....nice sizes too.......shoudl only be about a week, maybe two before the stripers are on their tails....the shad are liking blue and pink/white

been out a bunch in the last few weeks....no bass fishing though......mostly shad....done pretty well a lot of hickory shad and a few gizzards.......now i'm focusing more on locating some stripers......heading out to the occoquan river in a few minutes......i'll let ya know

last few weeks......shad fishing is getting better and better.......they are hitting white, pink, chart, and green.........went out this morning and caught a bunch of cats......one blue cat weighed in at 40lbs 8 ozs.......good luck all

right now you are catching me at a bad time for bass......during the spring nothing can get me away from the potomac during the shad and striper runs......i'll do my best to get out a few times on burke for ya

2" curly tail grubs in white and chartruse, but i mainly use darts and i make my own flutterspoons

sometimes.....if i am catching a lot on he spoons and not the darts i'll hand a few out and sell a few after they like them.....i'm running really low on supplies right now, so i'm keeping most of what i have for my self......the rocks and boulders in the potomac like eating them even more than the shad...lol

Welcome to the boards bro......there is a wealth of knowledge and  knowledgeable people on here

sounds good.....although i am to the point that i am going to use the canoe in the potomac so i can fish that channel edge.....if i capsize its only about 125 yrds from shore.....and if i caught a few stripers it would be worth it....lol

ok stripers are pretty much done around here....the herring are too few and far between to try and catch them....... schoolie stripers will be around all summer here and there........as for me? my sights are now set on Mr bucket mouth......and his little mouthed cousin........look out bass

got out to the occoquan reservoir on sun and a few days prior........the bass are loving wacky rigged senkos in green pumpkin, watermelon/ red flake, and junebug, black and blue jigs, and swimbaits........how is everyone else doing

USAFfisherman and i went to burke lake this morning and had a decent day.........fish were caught on wacky rigged trick worms and senkos all day, buzzbaits in the morning, and a spinnerbait of my own design around 2pm.....bass are tight into the grass and cover with most fish hitting when the lure hits the surface

USAF and i fished dogue creek for a few hours this morning.....got 5 bass between the two of us with the biggest one near 4 lbs.....all were caught on topwater....yum horny toads and a blk/blue buzzbait i made
