Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Went fishing with a friend today at Sleeter Lake in Round Hill, VA from 10am-1pm Water temp was only 51 and consistent throughout the 3 hours. A bit windy and chilly at first. We caught a couple of largemouths on plastic craw and on Rebel Minnow crankbait. Both were about 15" with nice color. Sorry, no pictures. Only had two other bites...one a non-hook up and one got off during retrieval. Saw two other guys coming off the water, and one had two hook-ups on bass but lost both fish. The other guy was crappie fishing and caught about 35 using Bobby Garland Crappie Bait at 8' depth in 15' of water in weedbeds. He had fished last week at Sleeter and water temp was 44 so it is starting to warm up. Overall, not a great day for catching bass but a nice day for fishing for them. Maybe next time I'll take some pictures. We also saw a huge bald eagle's nest in a large tree; and then about an hour later, I saw a bald eagle come down, snatch a fish, and take off for a nearby tree. Cool...
