I fished the bank of Lake Ashburn in the rain on tuesday.

I was pitching a J&P. I got my 1st bite off an isolated branch.
I set the hook and had a nice 2 or 3 #'r. but it was hung on the wood.
I tried to horse it onto the bank as it was coming, but my line popped and away she went. 2 hrs later, and identical looking bass jumped completely out of the water, twice, right in front of me- about 20' off shore.
Methinks it was the same, trying to throw that jig.

I caught other assorted bass, none big, but regular enough hits to keep me entertained.

I have done ok there lately w/ the 1-minus also. burn it, pause, repeat

went over to cedar, where i had wall to wall nothing going on.
not enough shore veggies yet for cover, fish deep? but not chewing much

been a lackluster couple weeks 4 me

I love TWIB....best show on TV!

Thanks for the report....Cedar has been cold but she will heat up soon enough!

sounds like you need to try some new waters! we've been catching them consistently inside/near the beltway ever since the big rain

At least you are not bragging about it Dan! haha j/k

Ashburn has been generally sluggish this year, but that is okay. It just makes us work harder.

Lol, I certainly don't mean to brag. All I mean is that if the water you are fishing has been really tough....FISH DIFFERENT WATER! The river has warmed up VERY quickly and lots of fish are being caught.

I don't think Jeffie's "boat" would be worthy of a trip to the river.....just sayin'!

Dominion Dan · Apr-16-10 11:58AM

Then fish from shore! That's what Thai and I have been doing!

bigjeffie · Apr-16-10 5:16PM

well i only have short windows to fish on odd days.

i usually fish lovettsville because it is near work

it is a farm pond about the size of beach

the only hits i am getting are shorties parallel to the bank, throwing a 1-minus

i havnt had the boat out for a few weeks, as my truck has a dead inspection and i dont want to be conspicuous

times is rough- i work for less than 1/2 of what i did 2 yrs ago
i squeeze all my money, and cant be driving too much

it is nice to see others fishing well. I miss Andy

I may have the opportunity to head out your way on the 24th. Wanna try to get together for some afternoon fishing?

Dominion Dan · Apr-17-10 7:43AM

Sure!
