Thread: Ft. Loudoun 11-4-2008

Fun day on the lake with my son and brother. Caught about 5 dinks, a dozen or so catfish (all small, less than 1 lb.), 3 bluegill, a 2 lb. spotted bass, 8 lb. striper, and finally 2 keeper crappie! Largest crappie was 13 in. Fun day with the family. I have a brand new camera and have never downloaded pics with it, so if I figure it out I'll post some pics soon.
All fish caught slow trolling with minnows from 19-25 feet. Water temp 61.2 in the AM and 63.0 in the afternoon. Fishing Little Turkey Creek and the bridge at the mouth of Sinking Creek.
Landed that striper on a 10 ft. Wally Marshall, with 10 lb. Mr. Crappie line and a #2 Mr. Crappie gold hook. Took a few minutes to wrangle him, but I won! hehe

Out messing around with boat after repair. Through a green jig in and caught nice 15 incher. That was the only one but it was nice. Turned him back to catch another day. Turkey creek

That is a nice one. Good to know he's still in there!

It sounds like you had a great time DrJohn....

Nice catch Dr. John, I believe you can catch everything slow trolling.:D

I think so too! Booger has taught us that "slow trolling" is the way to go.....
