  • Anyone fishing around Ashburn, VA this weekend?

    I'm new to VA and am looking to tag along with someone this weekend. Anyone going out near the Ashburn area Saturday or Sunday morning?

    Going to put in a Occoquan Regional Park Sunday morning. Hoping to launch at around 8am. Plan to head towards the Potomacn then head back to the dam. PM if anyone wants to join.

        I ended up changing my plans and launched at the Algonkian Regional Park. I went downstream and was hoping to fish the Sugarland Run but there were a few downed trees blocking the entrance. I launched at around 6:30 and there were fish blowing up left and right. The grass was very thick so I gave up on rat-l-traps, spoons, anything that had a treble hook. I started throwing soft plastics and hollow body frogs but nothing was taking. I couldn’t get a good look at what was blowing up and finally figured out it was carp. I found a tree that was dropping nuts in the water so I picked a couple up and tied them to a small hook. I threw on some carp bait also to add some scent. I watched a carp swim up to it, stop, then turn away. I gave up on the carp after that. I ended up catching one small perch on a small crank bait. I caught him on the West point of Sharpshin Island pretty late into the morning. There were several kayak anglers on the water and I called it a day at around 10am. The water level was a bit surprising. Most of the area was 2-4’ deep (the deepest I found was 5-6’). Water clarity was 3-4’ and water temps were around 82F.
