Bass – Smith Mountain Lake (Hardy)
Smith Mountain Lake is big water, but the Hardy launch was a good place for the BassCanoe
Bass – Germantown Lake
Germantown Lake was a disappointment that cost 6 bucks to discover
Bass – Quantico – Breckinridge Reservior
With the warm weather this weekend, you just had to FISH! With the project list growing, I had to pacify the Basswife by doing some stuff in the morning but my son came down and rescued me. We left the house at around 1 PM and headed south for Quantico for a quick couple of …
Smallmouth – New River (WV)
A float down the New River in pursuit of smallies is a great way to spend a glorious, sunny summer day
Bass- Breckinridge (VA – Quantico MCB)
Breckinridge is the hidden jewel of the Quantico Marine Corps Base
Bass- Smith Lake (VA – Quantico MCB)
Coverage of various trips to Smith Lake on the edge of Quantico
Bass – Burke Lake
Pretty lake, heavy pressure, probably bass in there someplace. If they are, they are wary.
Bass- Smith East Fork (VA – Quantico MCB)
The Basswife and I took a quick trip down to Smith again. This time, we worked the West Side of the lake. This sucker is deep! It topped 85′ on the PiranhaMAX 30 as we worked up from the lower right to the top of the lake. Sadly, not much action. We were there in late afternoon …
Bass – Abel Lake
Abel Lake looks good – big, long and narrow
Smallmouth Bass – South Branch Potomac River Float Trip
Super river – plenty of smallmouth action
Bass – South Mill Creek Lake
This appears to be a hidden treasure
Bass – Lunga Reservoir (VA – Quantico MCB)
Lunga is a large lake – takes a while to get to know
Bass- Breckinridge
As a warm up to the 4th of July weekend, I grabbed the basswife and we headed out to Breckinridge at Quantico for a morning of bass fishing. Breckinridge is one of our favorite local lakes – it’s electric motor only and and an exceptionally shallow boat launch – so it’s only suitable for canoes …
Bass – Motts Run Reservoir
PAY for a day pass to fish!!!! Ok… but was it worth
Bass- Lake Curtis
Curtis – a nice lake with low pressure and plenty of structure
Bass – Lake Brittle
Don’t bother to go….
Bass- Smith Lake Early June (VA – Quantico MCB)
Quick update – no trout fishing this weekend – took the basscanoe out to Smith Lake again. I could not justify another run back to the Shenandoah, no available fishing buddies, and my wife was starting to get cranky that all the fishing action was on streams – she enjoys fishing from the canoe (wow – how many …
Bass- Dalton Pond (VA – Quantico MCB)
Not worth the trip – shallow (2 – 3 feet) in most of the lake
Bass- Smith Lake, West Fork (VA – Quantico MCB)
Great day on the West Fork of Smith Lake near Aquia. Absolutely pleasant Saturday in May – air temp around 73 degrees and bright sun. We hit the lake at around noon, launching from the Aquia side of the lake as shown on the map. Crisis! I forgot to bring the paddles for the canoe. …
Smith Lake, East Fork (VA – Quantico MCB)
Smith Lake is the water reservoir for Stafford County. It borders Quantico and requires a Quantico fishing permit. We had never been there and wanted to check it out – conclusion – it’s a sweet lake! Once you find the lake, there are two boat launches – one corresponding to each finger of the lake. …
Bass – Breckenridge Reservoir (VA – Quantico MCB)
My wife and I hit Breckenridge down at the Quantico Marine Corps Base again this weekend (April 3). Breckenridge is a great spot for those of us who can only afford a simple canoe or Jon boat – it’s electric motors only and the “boat ramp” is a gravel dip that a bulldozer must have …
