alrighty.....Im lookin for one of you fish slayers to meet up with me for an evening, or even better a saturday morn, and show me whats going on. I continually fish weekend after weekend, either getting skunked, or catching a few dinks. you guys post fish all day long. my buddy catches fish in the same places I try. I have a canoe if you want to it BDR or any of the ashburn waters. I have been reading like its going out of business. trying to learn, and I don't know what Im doin wrong......

I'd like to fish Ashburn Lake one evening this week. I haven't been out there in my kayak since winter. I have an idea of where some fish should be.

Bart, I understand your frustration. I'll be out at BDR on Sunday after lunch until dusk. Here is some advice for the hot summer days. Fish slow, try using a 3/16 shaky jig head like the Bite me or the Wally World version with a Baby Brush Hog, Rage Tail Baby Craw, or your favorite worm. Keep your bait bouncing off the bottom with pauses, burning it from the pause, changing your cadence every other cast. Second, position is key. I position my self once I find the drop offs and cast parallel. Do the same if you are fishing grass edges, most folks fish perpendicular, casting into the grass edge. You have a canoe, use it to your advantage.

it takes a lot of practice, just keep trying
most of my success is at least in part accidental
eventually you will discover a method that works
then you can build on that technique, and apply it in different ways
i think it was last year at the bassmaster classic, Skeet Reese ( the runner-up for angler of the year ) practically got skunked and didnt even make the cut for the final day
it happens to the best fishermen in the world.
