Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Fished a late night and early morning up in DC with my son this past weekend.  Everything cooperated.  My son caught his biggest and was thrilled.  I could have sworn all of the spawners were long gone but with 65 degree temps there were still a few around.  I had an excellent year this year on big bass.  No giants over 50 like last year but we did well on artificial and bait this year.  Jigging gulp, or 7 inch flukes hot rodded behind known humps and structure has been decent.  Plugs and top water have scored a few.  Anyway, here's some pictures from the weekend.  The best action however came from largemouth that we stumbled into for about an hour.  Numerous plump largemouth jumped all over texas rigged flukes, incuding a few crappie pushing 12 inches too.  What does that river not have.  Oh... and John C and I scored a big snakehead last week with a spear!!  We couldn't get them to hit our tubes, top water or plastic worms but they couldn't dodge our spears for long. 

Off to greener pastures now.  Musky up the Doha and some beach time soon as the weakies are making a come back!  Schoolies will be around well into June this year for the rock hoppers.








The hickory shad are about gone compared to the week before the rain.  The herring however are so numerous that you can barely cast a top water lure without snagging one accidentially.  American shad are still there are some people are getting excellent numbers.
