Summer Fishing Catch Up and Fall Preview

Summer Fishing Re-Cap

Well as you all may have noticed activity on this blog has slacked off quite a bit with the departure of our resident kayak fishing addict, Pinch! I've been fishing a lot this summer, but due to lack of time the majority has been on the Potomac closer to home with only a few salt trips. 

I'll be the first to admit I am not much of a largemouth bass fisherman. The majority of the bass I have caught have been by accident trying to catch snakehead, but I am starting to come around on bass fishing. First of all, they are pretty aggressive, even when the water is warm. Secondly, they have huge mouths and will hit topwater which is exciting. Also, in the Potomac you can find them in some pretty thick structure that makes for some interesting fights! 

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to fish for smallmouth bass on the Greenbrier River in WV. Smallmouth bass used to be one of my favorite species to target and it was quickly apparent after two days of floating that I have become quite rusty!

Now that Fall is kicking into gear I hope to get the chance to get out more and find some rockfish fatting up for winter!

Here's some pictures from this summer:

  1. Westchester Fishing Charters : Trout Fishing TIP :- When it comes to sportfishing your hook varieties are very essential, both their sharpness and their dimension. First off your always want to use hook varieties that are as distinct as possible. This implies modifying your hook varieties often or improving them often. Many seafood are "missed" because of boring hook varieties. Secondly, many seafood fishers use hook varieties that are entirely too huge. A good solution to hook varieties that are too huge is a set of gang-hooks. Group hook varieties are merely a couple of little hook varieties linked in combination, which allows a much more organic lure demonstration.
