First catch in Virginia!
Species include; largemouth bass, catfish, crappie, white perch and bluegill.
Used a cork bobber with a medium hook and live medium minnow. The bass was 20in long 6in wide little over 2lbs
Last cast of the day, first bass of the year.
Finally caught two fish that have eluded me. I was fishing from one of the "fishing stations" at Lake Lawson / Lake Smith natural area on Wed 09/30 before ...more the oncoming storm. Dropping an in line hook with a minnow on a jig dropper under a float, caught a nice crappie. Also with a hooked red worm on a hook and bobber, caught my first largemouth bass. It was really small (maybe 1 LB) so I released him, also caught what I would guess is a perch with minnows along with many bluegills on red worms. The storm started to roll in with thunder around noon, then just after I left a downpour. Quite to my dismay, there were a few moments of absolutely wonderful sunny skies. I had expected very cloudy all day with rain.
