Neglect

This is the  last fish  I caught way way back on november 2nd. 

Daily Routine: Temperature Falling

 The Temperature is dropping and the fish are preparing for winter this could only mean one thing the fish are feeding. Lately we have been chasing big  river Smallmouth in an attempt to get a Virginia Citation fish 20
inches or greater. We have been hitting the Upper Potomac pretty hard in search of that elusive fish with mixed results. We have caught good numbers of 14 to 16 inch bass which is an upgrade over the abundant 10-12 inchers that were biting a month ago.

Daily Routine: The end of september

 My daily routine of fishing has continued even though my writing routine has not .  I have not dedicated much time to writing as I have been researching new spots to hit after work and competing in the KBF state challenge series.

Daily Routine: Business Park Grass Bass

Today we did a quick 2 hour session before the Football game came on.We decided to try out a secluded pond off of rt 7 it is surrounded by a business park a shopping center and an apartment complex so its not very visible from any streets. I had only fished this pond once before with no luck so I was interested to see what size fish were in there. This pond is full of vegetation of various types there is a ton of floating pond weed and it is also covered in submerged vegetation as well. That gives some good overhead cover for the bass . I opted to punch through the floating mats while Collin  opted to glide over the weeds with a weightless Yum mighty bug.

Daily Routine: Rainy Day Goose Creek Topwater

I took a few days off from writing but not from fishing. Labor day My brother and i took the Hobies to Point Lookout Maryland he promised me that we may encounter some familiar species like speckled trout and red fish. We got out early Monday morning and fished along the rocks the marshy areas and deeper channels but the only thing we could find were the ravenous hordes of bluefish. My weekend day off I think we will take a ride down there again and see if we can make some trout and reds bite.  The past two days we have hit up our old stand by Goose creek the river has been super low making locating the smallmouth pretty easy in the deeper areas. I figured that this would be  good time to pull the fly rod out to catch my first smallmouth on the fly. I had a popper fly and Collin stuck with the pop r which has been working well lately. The past two days we have caught a bunch of sunfish and bluegill. The smallmouth however have been hard to find I am  still looking for that first smallmouth on the fly and Collin has only landed two  that were over 12 inches the past two days.
