Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Buddy and I launched at The Big O at 6am hoping for stripers.  Went all the way out to the main Potomac looking for them and then all the way down to the power plant to no avail.  Got a call from another buddy they had caught a few near Mt. Vernon.  Motored back to the Big O ramp, low on gas.  Trailered the boat and gassed it up again and then launched at Pohick around 11am.  Fished that area for 2 hours without a hit or mark.

Determined to catch some fish, loaded back up at Pohick and went back to the Big O.  Went to the headwaters in search of hickories.  We found them an caught probably 30 or so in a little over an hour.  Before leaving, 2 game wardens came up on some yakers that had beached their yaks on the shoreline of the Fairfax Water Authority up by the "falls".  Looked like a lot of ticket writing to me............an long faces.................
