ROFLMAO! I kind of learned "wading" while jigging for rockfish at the CBBT beach - I kept stepping out farther and farther until my wife asked if I didn't want to just go swiming! I have bought myself some aquasocks(shoes?) but think my normal shorts and shirt are fine for summer wading. I don't know about wading out like that come next January though.Now - Any OTHER fishing FTE people out there?

 

Hi Guys... Y'all ot to plan a trip out here in my neck of the woods....Out here by Smith Mountain Lake!! its a 15,500 acre lake..with that 40 miles long and has 550 miles of shore line!! I hear there catching some nice Hybrid stripers out there...

Just a thought!!

Uh.....boat?

 

Hybrid stripper? it that a fuel efficient, environmentally friendly fish? Sounds like something that came from China

 

Cross between a white bass and striped bass. Grows quickly. really good fighter

 

Yep!! If I recall correctly? the lake's largest striper to date is 62lbs..It maybe more by now? you hope you dont latch on to one if your in a small Horsepowered boat..or your in for one hell of a free ride.. They fight like a Mac Truck on steroids!!

And of course we also have small and large mouth bass, crapie,etc..

Where exactly is the lake? O yeah, never made it to the inlet That danged truck just held on to me and wouldn't let go. But the frame is now half painted, ready to be finished this weekend. O well, there is always fall striper

 

Well, striper is still legal over 28" on the ocean side - I saw a nice 35" striper caught last Wednesday at Sandbridge's Little Island Pier. And there are a LOT of other fish to fish for in the meanwhile too!

 

Well Steve the frame looks great....and the Lake Is Smith Mountain Lake, About 20 miles southeast of Roanoke out here in Franklin County.My back Yard!! LOL..

Lets see the Specs on the lake...15,500 acres and 550 miles of shoreline, and I think its about 40 miles long? Its big enough to be in 3 counties, Franklin,Bedford,and Pittsylviania.

Sounds like an invitation to me. I'll see you this weekend, Saturday morning sound good?

 

I don't know if he has enough room for all of us So everyone pick a number, 1-10, closest one without going over gets the quest room. Runner up gets the couch

Rory, Stan, ORT, we should get together and do some peir or surf fishing. I would love to go, but I need someone to drag me away from my project truck. . .it has become an all consuming obsession. . . Just name a time and place, and if anyone needs extra gear

 

heck ya it is.
It aint much but it does have fish in it. I'll be building a dock out there eventually.
If anyone ever needs to fulfill there itch to fish just PM me, I live in Deep Creek by the way
It's only a 4 foot deep or so & a hundred yards across by a half mile long pond but I put my little boat in from time to time & or fish from the shore ..
I saw a kid pull a 3 or 4 pound smallmouth out from my neighbors property!

"Many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after." - Henry David Thoreau

 

guess I'll have to mow back there, been putting it off with this heat

you're not far from me at all
