A buddy and I decided to do a fish fry meat run this weekend. Needless to say the river is full of white perch right now. We fished out of Munden Point and stayed on the main river fishing 2-4ft...

Fished NWR on 2/19. 47 - 48 degree water today. Caught about 20 crappie with 10 keepers 10-11" range and 5 small LMB up to 1.5lbs. The Crappie were real sluggish today had to keep keep the speed...

It's been since March since I hit the NWR for crappie. Today I fished from 9-2. Arrived to find 38 degree surface temperature, and water down about 16". Water color was good down to the park then...

Blacklab25- I have rented the house at 959 Hawthorne Drive, Bracey, Virginia which if you google you will see is towards the back of one of the arms in Popular Creek. There was about 3-5 feet out in...

Still around, just been chasing the green fish in this heat and trying to avoid the rain in the process. Will get back to chasing the papermouths when the temps drop back in the 50's and we lose some...

Jim- Nice fish, but the true trophy is the smile on your face. Priceless! Way to go.

Will.

JIM- Nice to see a report from you on your new home lake. I know with your skills it won't be long before the crappie are no longer safe. Going to miss talking to you up here on the NWR this winter....

Got out today on the North Landing between the rain and managed to get a few. All fish were caught shallow. 1-2.5 ft near cover on jigs.

I have had this happen also, always in the winter time. I believe it is due to the cold water temperatures. The fish are suspending in the most comfortable water temp. This time of the year the upper...

I too bugged out when the rain rolled in. I figured since I had a cold already I didn't need to sit in the rain for two more hours. Anyway the perch and crappie got the better of me that day. Fish a...

I plan on being there. It will be the warmest morning I have fished in for the last couple months. Rain is projected to be gone by 12, dry weigh-in all is good. See you there.

Isn't Great Bridge like area 51, people have heard about it but it really doesn't exist.... Just messing. Not me. Va Beach local 46 years.

Salmon's Ditch (the grain ditch) used to be a great little secret, but the fish don't go in there like they used to. They dredge it two - threyears ago and have a lot more barge traffic in there now...

Nice limit. I passed you and Jim mid-morning and we down into NC to see what was going on down there. What I found was a lot more ice than what was upriver. Iced from shore to shore 1/2"+ and that...

You can try John at Lacquer Specialties, 461-4568. He is a small shop and you usually have to leave a message for him to call you back. I have used him in the past for my Nissan motor.

Jim- If you were in the white aluminum boat. I believe I passed you when you were working the area below the park before you make the hard right going down river. Around 10:30am. I have a 1448...

Decided to hit the river today since it was the warmest day we are going to see for awhile. Well woke up and it was 25 degrees, so I took my time before hitting the water. Pushed the boat in the...

Jim- I can second your report. Fished last Saturday and caught a bunch. Upwards of 40 probably. But it was hard to find any that would go over 8.5" most were around 7" - 7.5". I have never seen so...

Try contacting these folks. CRAWLEY'S WHOLESALE click on the specialty plastic category. scroll down. It looks like they offer a lot of colors not sure who their dealers are. 417-546-5154 or...

I would be up for getting together again on the 27th. They say lightening doesn't strike twice very often, so you all should be safe from me.

Dennis- Pm'd you the info. Will

Seven folks did show up to fish. I had the winning weights for both the Crappie and the yellow perch. The crappie went 1.31 lbs and the yellow perch was 1.14 lbs. Both released. I caught the crappie...

The answer is yes. Crappie, white and yellow perch. Yellow perch where mostly males but did catch a couple females with swollen bellies. Even caught some decent sized bream.

The water was dirtier today then it was yesterday afternoon when I went and looked at it , only 5 to 6 inch visibility today. but the fish didn't seem to mind. Caught fish both casting a jig and...

I will be there fishing regardless. The water conditions were better than I expected when I stopped at Bob's this afternoon. Water was a bit dirty but had about a foot of visibility at the ramp. If...

Ok, I just got back from Bob's at NWR. The river looked better than I expected. The river at the ramp was a little dirty, but I would not call it muddy. It was not chocolate milk or even coffee with...

Fished the Northwest yesterday, water was dingy but better than expected after all the rain we have had. Fishing was much slower than the previous week, dirtier water and bright sky's I'm sure had a...

Plan on being there.

Lure Craft sells a 2.75" one almost identical to the one you pictured. Listed in their aluminum molds section in the Angler AI molds.
