6-19-24 Outing Quantico

I decided to enjoy a nice day on the water and when I went down to Crows Nest at 10 am the parking lot was full of vehicles, which only meant there would be crowds on the water.  So, I turned around and went to Quantico where you have to go through a process to check in on line and with the officer on duty where I like to go.  Sure enough there were 2 cars in the lot!

Anyway I get out there and the water is still low and I start tossing the frog and have a few blow up, missed fish, a couple bass and in the end a really nice day on the water.  I ended up giving a Marine my snakehead because this was his first time out fishing (since moving here from camp pendleton) and he was looking for some fish to eat.  Already had a couple small catfish that were eating size, so I offered him my snakehead and he was more than excited to try it out.

I'm also trying out this very inexpensive camera on my vest to capture the moments (Akaso Brave 4 pro).  Seems to work really nice for now.  Also added a micro anchor (power pole) to the yak and I have to admit that I'm already really enjoying it!

Here are a few links to the vids.

Re: 6-19-24 Outing Quantico

The micro pole has been great for the kind of fishing I do I realize and for now I use my paddle in the front to "lock down" the direction I'm facing.  I don't think I'll be getting any high speed motor or anything or FFS simply because I'm mostly in shallows and found that all that wouldn't even be used. 

I will say that Capt mike taught me how to fish for NSH and most of the fish that I missed were due to setting the hook too early without the countdown! lol  What was fun for me was watching all the wakes of water rushing towards the lure or the NSH chasing bait fish making huge commotions. 

Let me know if you guys are interested in coming down.  I'd be happy to host/guide you!  (not that I'm any good at fishing myself).  just bring your own yak!
