wacky rigged trick worm
Fishing has been tough. The ponds are very low and I have only been averaging about 1 fish per hour. Today was the same. I did see some deer tracks around the golf course ponds. Hmmmmm

Same areas as the last few times.
38 bass-largest 3#-11oz., 5 pickerel
Zoom Trick, finesse, and U-Tail worms. Spinnerbait, Rat-L-Trap

Weedless wacky rigged the straight worms, Tx. rigged the U-Tail. Caught all but 5 in the upper end creek channels.
Could not find any bass deeper than 16'. With the nightly air temps in 40's for a few days, the Fall turn-over must be giving the water a brown stain.

VERY CHILLY
Little chop 1-1/2 in
Started 2 miles up Pound River Arm fished back toward Boatdock. Fished outside banks Rockey Bluffs and Shear Cliffs.
LMB-SMB-Channel Cat(no kidding on a crank) 3 LMB biggest 2.5 lb 5 SMB biggest 4 lb 9 oz. Cat fish a 11 lb 3 oz brute. Thought I had a lake record Bass
Bandit, Shadrap, Spinnerbait and 1/2 oz. black Tite line Jig With a 2.5 in. Yum Baby Crawbug dark brown almost black with a glass rattle on jig.
2' to 35-45'
Bandit Cranking med. Shadrap almost like a jerkbait not as aggresive tho just e a s y jerks. Boath cranks hitting the rocks. Jig Let itb sink and dance ( callin em to me) And also swimming the jig with a tight Yo Yo action raising it 6-8 in and droping it back then repeat.
Great night to be on the lake. No other trucks or trailers at launch ramp had the whole lake to myself. Very cool and foggy I love "that thar" GPS. As you can probly tell I LOVE TO NIGHT FISH. If you want a Bass of a lifetime Try Night Bassin It is a whole other world. The fish are not as spookey. You have to learn to fish a whole different way sometimes you can burn a crank or spinnerbait but most nights it is S---L---O---W and then slow down some more. You can use heavy line. All in all a great way to fish

Lower James River
Barge pits to 895
1 snagged bluegill!
Got out Saturday morning....I started the day off crappie fishing with jigs in the barge pit. I got more than a few short strikes but couldn't hook any of them. Either they were nipping the tail or had to be tiny tiny fish b/c I was using a 1/8 oz jig. Moved out to the main river and went up to fish jetties around 895. I found some really nice looking jetties that went from 4 feet to 20 feet in a matter of a few feet....but naturally couldn't score a bite. I tried spinners, ringworms, and a rattle trap. I had one strike on the spinnerbait where I saw the fish take a swipe at it but I didn't set the hook on it. Finally called it a day when I snagged a daggone bluegill through it's throat....pitiful when that's the only way you can catch a fish!

Could not get on the fish (bass) this weekend. We caught stripers on cranks, Cats, white bass and ring perch on spinnerbaits and nothing on plastic. We fished the incoming tide to about an hour of outgoing then called it quits. Should have gone upriver to the pads.

Nottoway Lake
sunny, slight breeze
72 degrees, average visibility
most of the lake, mostly the left side leaving the ramp
lmb
spinnerbait, frog, senko, zara spook
2-8 feet, 5 foot seemed good
Worked spinnerbait, senkos, and a kreature bait around shore laydowns and brush, tried the frog in the pads, and a few tries with the zara around the pads
Caught my 1st decent fish of the year, 18.5 inches and 3.5lbs on a spinnerbait. Got that one near the shore line but creek channel was nearby. Was BARELY hooked. Before that I missed one close to shore on the spinnerbait but he missed it. The 3rd bass of the day hit the spinnerbait near the boat, think it came from a log, did not get good hook set and lost her near the boat, did not play this one well. Was a quality fish though. Later I missed a smaller fish on a frog in the pads. 1st time to this lake, I liked it, looking forward to hitting all these new to me lakes in the fall and spring.
