Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Hi everyone, I'm new here, at least posting-wise.  I've been lurking off and on for about a year.  I've met some members of this board (Andrew Do, Dominion Dan), and upon some discussions w/ Andrew, I'm posting a report from Friday.  Please forgive any errors in posting images.

I call this my "speed fishing" outing, as I've only got 45 min between dropping our son off then picking him up from his gymanstics class that is about 2 minutes from L. Royal (Burke, VA).  Caught two mid-sized crappie in the first 15 min. on a white Beetlespin, fished slow and as low as it would go in this lake (6-7' off of this particular point). 



That bite died off so I switched to a new (to me) jerkbait from Janns' Netcraft, the springer 78.  Here is a pic of two of these in smallmouth and ghost minnow patterns, I believe.  These come as painted bodies, you add your own split rings and hooks (gammy size 6, in this case).



I threw the one in ghost minnow and caught this 1#-er, my largest LMB this year.  We've caught some dink LMB at woodglenn this year, also on the white Beetlespin and small white grubs (2-3").
