WHAT!!!!!!!!! it's only been 2 days since we got this snow!! 2024

quanjig reply :

Oh my f***ing crap god, I need some line pullin' to occur and quickly. I have a serious case of seasonal affective disorder. Can anyone point me in the direction of some unfrozen water so a brother can get a bite.........please

Thai reply :

Is burke frozen? Or are we talking bank fishing?

soccplayer07 reply :

I'm tempted to break out the ultra light and fish my tank! who's down for some 3" fish???

Thai reply :

Desperate measures call for desperate actions

Count me in

quanjig reply :

Burke is frozen. I'm contemplating 4 mile run Saturday or Sunday. Anyone down with that? I think I might be able to get the boat out and possibly play around in occoquan river.

Thai reply :

How well do you know 4mile run? Are there spots in there that produce this time of year? If you dont mind I would like to join

soccplayer07 reply :

I'm game too quan if you have room.

quanjig reply :

4 mile run is just bank walkin'. I only know to fish just upstream of the rt1 bridge. That is the only deep water I know of besides the bend by the airport and that is not all that deep. I've caught fish at the discharge before, but that was a long time ago and I'm sure the depth around the discharge is quite different now. Thai, are you knowledgable about the run?

Thai reply :

I've been there twice caught one bass out by the airport and a blue cat and near the discharge have pulled out one small dink, as far as knowledgeable, I'm sure your guess is as good as mine...

Did a quick google search and it seems that the bass are in there during the colder months, jerkbaits and jigs might be the ticket

quanjig reply :

I mean I've caught the crap out of them in there before. Smoke grubs on jig heads were my best producer but I have done well on other things. Jbs will work as well as rattle baits, senko, small worms. I've even had topwater action this time of year. It's a bit snaggy in some spots too

It seems snaggy, how far out does that erosion barrier extend to? Were you going to walk the bank or take your jonboat out?

quanjig reply :

probably just walk. Nelson is gonna try Friday. I havnt seen any cleared ramps yet so I think just a shore walk is all I can manage right now. Where is LHC, wonder if he has any winter spots on the river? I might be able to make a call and see if we can fish a marina down on the occoquan river.

Thai reply :

Is it the marina off of old colchester?

LHC - Bank Robber reply :

My winter spots are in front of the tv and or the computer. I haven't fished 4 mile run in years, there use to be some sort of boat ramp that I had fished in the past with some success although never in winter. One spot I hit up a lot last year during the winter was hunting creek right outside of old town alexandria. I dont think I caught any large mouths there in the winter but I did get my best potomac river rock fish out there last feb.

RockvilleMDAngler reply :

4 mile can be spectacular or very humbling. I have had 50 fish days throwing a weightless senko near any concrete structure and then been skunked the next day doing the same thing. The water is very clear most of the time so you can see the fish bite.

I usually come down the left side by boat and if I have not been bit by the time I go under the route 1 bridge I can assume that the bite is off and I leave to fish the spoils or blue plains. If I get bit I fish the whole place thoroughly as all those bridge supports hold fish.

VolFan reply :

If you guys hit 4 Mile let me know (especially Sunday) and I'll walk over and join, maybe show you around a little if needed. I tried it Sunday in the snow. Caught an ambitious bluegill on a big streamer, nothing else.

NewAngler reply :

Were you fly fishing? Nuts, I wish I could go this weekend.

VolFan reply :

I had my m spinning outfit (for jerkbaits and some light jigs) and my 6 wt fly rod. Ended up using the flyrod more. The snow covers alot of things that snag the line.

quanjig reply :

So who is in and what day is suitable? Unfortunatly it would take removing a metric ton of snow to get the boat out!! I'm looking at Saturday to walk around at 4 mile run.............. Anyone else interested??

Thai reply :

Im in, I think I'm going to check it out today also

I'm fairly certain that the saying is: "Desperate times call for desperate measures."

And yes, I have to completely agree with all of yall. I hate the cold, and won't go on the water in 30 Degree weather. We need a heat wave!

quanjig reply :

I'm all about fishing whenever I can. If it ain't frozen, I'm tryin'!! I don't care what the temperature is, if its doable I'm gonna give it a shot.

Bigs reply :

I would like to give 4 mile run another try but all that walkin tires me out not to mention the Ravens play the steelers on sunday and I aint missin that. Good luck guys

Thai reply :

Heading out to 4mile at around 1:30 if anyone wants to come with

Wish i had gotten up a little bit earlier I woulda gone, let us know how you do. If I can slip away from the fam for a while ill be down on saturday. Is 4mile run better fish at low or high tide?

Thai reply :

four mile run was a hit today boys, the crappie are in and the bass are still there, even managed to catch a 4lb carp on a crappie tube.

Overall managed maybe a dozen crappie, 4 bass, and a carp in the 2 hours that I was there, not too shabby. I was on the southern side next to the toyota dealership, moved maybe less than 50 yards. Water was clear and fish were visible esp the schools of perch and crappie near the banks. Bass were a little deeper hugged up against the bridge supports.

LHC - Bank Robber reply :

awsome to hear, few questions (if you dont mind, if not I can figure it out) whatd you get the bass on and what was the tide.

Thai reply :

black and blue 3/8 Jig with jackall cover craw trailer

and on an outgoing tide

Thai reply :

Also had one follow a small jerkbait up to shore nothing big but it was exciting, gave up the jerkbait not to long after as I dont have the paitence for it

soccplayer07 reply :

well done man. any pics?

Thai reply :

No pics, it was cold under those bridges and i mean cold..I wasnt going to take my gloves off to be able to use the iphone

When we do go on Sat I deff recommend bringing a light-med action spinning outfit for those crappie

Slip Gun reply :

Thai! I need me some fishing. You gonna be free Saturday? I am thinking about giving it a try.

quanjig reply :

Well nice work Thai. Once again I think the weather is gonna pooch us but good. 2+ inches of rain + snow melt....... I think Saturday might be a tough deal. I've seen what a big rain can do to the run and it's not pretty.

Thai reply :

Muddy or not I'm still down to try my luck there again, maybe this time I'll venture further than 50yards haha

VolFan reply :

Try some jerkbaits over on that side, little deeper than the panfish.

Bigs reply :

sounds like you had a good 2 hours out there. Im assuming thats about all u could take was 2 hours of that freezing weather. Man I would have walked a lil to catch a dozen crappie and 4 bass. If you go next week then holla at me. Maybe I could try out my pixy on those crappie since I dont have any medium light soinning gear.

Thai reply :

The key to Jerkbaits in the cold though is patience and I mean saintly patience....neither of those would I call myself..... :-/

ptomacbass reply :

Do you know what the water temperature was in 4 Mile Run?

Thai reply :

Sorry I don't but there was no ice anywhere

quanjig reply :

So what time are you gonna get down there Thai? I think I'm gonna get down there at about 7:30 am, catch the last bit of outgoing tide and the first part of incoming tide.

Thai reply :

Scratch that PM, I'll see you out there at 7:30 or so, which side are you going to fish?

quanjig reply :

Well then, read and replied to your pm before I looked at the thread. Gonna be on the side next to the Toyota dealership

VolFan reply :

Did you guys make it over there? It's looked like chocoalte milk all day.

quanjig reply :

It was a very tough deal today. I managed to snag a very large carp in the tail, got it all the way to the bank and snapped off!! Couple of small bites, but no bass or crappie. Hooked up with Thai and friends ( sorry guys, I'm horrible with names) at around 8am and we walked around a bit looking for some willing takers in the fast, muddy, cold water. It was a crap shoot at best but we were out of the house and giving it a shot!!

Thai reply :

I also managed to snag what I'm pretty sure was a corpse, snapped before I got it out though ;D

Bigs reply :

Thai got skunked ? Whats the world coming to...

Thai reply :

I've had my fair share of skunks like everyone else, and it was tough conditions out there today....
