Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Cross another one off of my list!

Carl called me and convinced me to take a much needed break from doing yard work for my friend's mother. We fished the Occoquan between the dam and the Potomac River. We caught a couple crappie, some bass, and even had a yellow perch make an appearance but couldn't manage to land it.

Here's a pic of my first crappie:



Here's a pic of Carl's crappie. Much bigger than the one I caught:



Here's a couple pics of the biggest bass. I estimate it at about 3lbs. I caught it on a jig. Notice the dark markings. It looked like someone had dipped his tail in black ink.




All but the biggest bass were caught on live minnows under bobbers. We had the most success in the rocky area near the dam.
