chainbridge what? all i know is chainbridge road, is there a pond or something called chainbridge?

 

its the potomac river on the boarder to DC. Its a fast running river so you will need steel lines and heavy weights to anchor. Yeah I was wrong about the spot, thats saltwater. Maybe they are white perch? we usually catch them with a casting net then cut the heads and the body off and put them both on a steel line. catfish there get pretty big. Biggest ive ever caught at chainbridge was a little over 2 1/2 foot. took 15 minutes to reel in. Shrimp usually gets catfish and corn works on catfish, bass, and trout.

 

I picked up a st. croix rod and a Quantum bait caster yesterday. I spent 4 hours in the rain breaking them in today. Ended up pulling out one of my biggest bass ever too. caught 14 bass total, 6 were decent size.

 

I'm always down for fishing! PM me if guys ever decide on a mini fishing/car meet. I'm barley ever on VAdriven these days.

nice fish man, what are you using to weigh them?

 

the ones in may with the XTOOLS® Grip-N-Weigh® Digital Fish Scale the more recent outings Rapala® ProGuide™ Digital Fishing Scale. All batteries get replaced every third outing depending on useage.

 

i fish the potomac all the time i have a tournament there this weekend i fish south of leesylvania mostly just went up north this past friday and caught several on a rattle trap and spro frog in the grass beds

 

Chainbridge is fun to fish, last time i was there, i was drunk and fell in, the current is very strong. Another good place is in Alexandria, Theres a parking lot near the woodrow wilson bridge you can park at and walk some trails and you can fish under the bridge.

I went fishing in Nags Head this weekend caught a couple spanish macks and did some crabbing.

 

any one ever wanna come out to lake manassas let me know. Im not a big fisher, but I like going there I have seen some nice fish come out of that lake.
