Waiting for Azaleas to Bloom
Like
clockwork, when my 60-year-old red azaleas bloom, it’s time
for the bass spawn. Length of day and warm weather makes these
events concurrent...almost.
Water is holding around 60 and
rising. Nice weather week ahead. Mid 60s into the 70s by the
weekend. Overnight lows around 50. Chance of rain on
Wednesday.
One issue, muddy water. Surprise torrential
downpours in our area and especially in the West Virginia section
of the Potomac brought very muddy water to the Tidal POTOMAC for a
week. Water should be clearing this week. Taking into
consideration water clarity. Clear water is at least 3 feet of
visibility. Very muddy only 6 inches.

OVERVIEW - Lots of rain fell early this
week, creating rising and stained water. Be careful and call ahead
before venturing out. Throughout the state, good fish are being
caught. Patience and persistence is sometimes necessary, along
with an understanding of what fish are doing during this season of
the year. The better baits for bass are normally rattling
crankbaits, spinnerbaits and plastic lizards and creature baits.
Topwater jerk baits are coming into their own as the water
temperatures rise.

BASS- Spring has finally sprung and the bass are
heading into the shallows. At the end of March, in the extreme
down lake region we already had a few bass on the beds. By the end
of the first week of April, there will be many on the bed and even
more up and cruising the banks looking for love.
Damiki Armor Shad soft jerkbaits and Dave's
Tournament Tackle Tigershad Spinnerbaits are two of my favorite
way to catch bass this month. Fish them in and around the emerging
willow grass, be sure to kill your bait on the outside edge of the
grass and let it sink out of sight.
You can catch fish around and under boat docks all
month long on shakey head rigged plastics, jigs, soft jerkbaits
and shallow running crankbaits. Look for docks that have bluegill
or crappie around them.
As we get closer to the end of the month, the shad
and herring spawn will come into play, look for the on long
shallow rocky points, rip rap banks, in front of sea walls (bulk
heads) and on bluff rock banks first thing in the morning.
Jerkbaits, spinnerbaits and top water baits will catch fish in and
around this spawn.
If fishing for spawning fish, drop shot rigged
plastics, shakey head rigged plastics and the Double "D"
Skirtted Harvester Rig are great ways to fool these bass into
biting. Just please remember C-P-R..... Catch-Photo-Release as
these fish are our future in this lake remaining one of the best
fisheries in Va.
CRAPPIE- These tasty panfish are headed to the
shallows in droves, look for the around boat docks, beaver huts,
willow grass and rock piles in the up lake region of the lake.
Two inch curl tail grubs rigged on a 1/16oz jig
head will produce many fish for you. If you are catching only the
smaller males up shallow, back off and fish deeper and slower, as
the larger females are staged just out in front of them.
The will bite a variety of colors, we all have our
favorite colors and here are a few of mine..... John Deere Green
(Tractor Green), Wally World, Green Weenie and Electric Chicken.
If the bite is slow, small minnows rigged on a
slip bobber is a great back up and sometimes you may need to
employee minnows to get a school fired up.
STRIPER- You can catch striper in the uplake
regions of the lake all month long. Bass Assassin Sea Shads rigged
on a 1/4oz jig head, broken back redfins and top water walking
baits will all produce fish. Loo for them above the 522 bridge on
the North Anna arm of the lake and from the S-Turns up to 522 in
Pamunkey.

RAPPAHANNOCK RIVER: Chris
Hicks describes the river as “chocolate milk” near
Port Royal thanks to the recent rains and hopes it will clear by
the weekend. Anglers caught plenty of catfish last Saturday before
the rains, but few bass. Shad and herring are still in the river
if you can find them.
POTOMAC RIVER:
Reel Bass Adventures reports
water temperatures rising in the creeks into the 60s, mobilizing
bass during the day. But chilly nights, heavy rains and wind make
fishing challenging on some days. The popular grass flats up and
down the river show good catches being made on spinner baits,
chatter baits, hard and soft jerk baits, swim baits and plastics.
Crappie continue to hang around wood and docks. Small crappie
tubes or minnows work well.

Lake Fishing Report – April 18, 2018
Posted on April
18, 2018 by Capt.
Art
Capt. Art Conway of Conway’s River Rat Guide
Service (804-514-1486) out of
Ed Allen’s Boats and Bait
reported that Chickahominy Lake mid-day water
temperatures were
in the low to mid 60’s in the main lake and in the creeks
on
Wednesday (4/18/2018). The lake level was a few inches above the
top of
the dam. The water was light brown and very slightly
cloudy in the central
lake.
Welcome back to The Virginian-Pilot’s
twice-a-month Fishing Forecast. It’s been a long, often very
strange winter, but it looks like — based on the weather
forecast — that spring might actually be trying to happen.
There was some pretty decent fishing to be had
over the winter. Bluefin action was fantastic for the short time
the feds would allow mid-Atlantic anglers to catch a few.
Yellowfin and wahoo catches out of the Outer Banks pleased
captains well beyond the usual slowdown time.

This site is a non-profit site that I personally pay for and
edit. Due to health problems I no longer bass fish but have always
loved the sport. Therefore I enjoy staying involved and helping
provide information to those who do fish. Any links to businesses
are to folks I know and respect.
I hope these reports are helpful.
Tight Lines to you all.
