Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Bob and I fished a new lake (for us anyway) with Jason Ford on his excellent boat, a Ranger aluminum w/ 115 HP.

For once, I beat everybody there!

If I had noticed that we were this close to a full moon (in 3 days), I would have changed dates.

The place looks great and there are some nice bass in there (we saw a bunch): "Lake Frederick is an unincorporated community located in Frederick County, Virginia. The primary geographic feature is a 117-acre lake impoundment owned by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries."  And speaking of DWR, they came by trying to shock up some blue back herring (which are not supposed to be in there).

Anyway, we caught a 1/2 dozen fish. No biggies. It was really slow.





We talked to one fella on the water and he was struggling. When we took out just after 1p, we talked to another fella and he had caught one.

That makes you feel just a hair better but we were all frustrated by the lack of bites.

It's fishing...better than being at home or at work!

Edit- I forgot to add that I really like fishing on other people's boats!!
