Bass fishing northern Va.

Good evening all. New to the site, almost new to fishing, haven't been since I was 12 and I am now 29. I'm unfortunately not able to fish from a boat so I'm stuck shore fishing. Not having much luck lately, probably just wrong times and the heat making the bass go to deeper water. Anywho, just making a splash on the site. Will be using it more, tired of fishing with only a bite or two in a 4 hour trip. If anyone lives in northern Va and needs a fishing buddy, I'll be around!

Hi MrGreenbass,

welcome to our site. Good on you for getting back into fishing.
I'm sure after a little bit practice you'll be pulling them out by the dozens ;-)

if it's really hot at the moment, try to pick the days where the best fishing times are early morning.
The fish might come in a bit closer to shore then.

happy fishing
Mark
Thanks Mark! Getting at 'em in the A.M.!
Hi MrGreenbass,

Welcome to Fishing Reminder :)

I wish it was too hot to fish here...about -10 (c) this morning....brrrrr
@itsaboat- thank you... and -10c is a little chilly lol I'm not looking forward to winter but I expect myself to be out fishing in all seasons this year. Being my first year back to fishing I want to gauge how the fish feed and what they like. Class is in session this year, next year I expect to be posting monsters like some I've seen on this site! 
Yeah...a little on the bitey side...Last time I was in this area it got down to -6 for 3 days in a row!!! and that got the locals talking...

Official temp for Canberra today was -10.8 which is just over the hill from here (about 100km). The forecast for here today was -8, but I reckon it got down to -12 maybe -14....Not bad for an area that normally makes head line news if it hits -4 !!!

I am not a fair weather fisherman either...But when the ice sheet over the creek is thick enough for the kelpie dog to walk on, I have second thoughts !! :)

It is global cooling !!! Government is to blame...I don't care which one, just pick one. Any Government will do. Just pick one...It is global cooling on a global scale....no wonder the aliens don't want to come here !!!

It's OK...I have Ugg boots and a beanie....nothing else, just Ugg boots and beanie :):)

Good luck with your class. We look forward to seeing your catches next year.

Haha, yes sir!
