My wife and I made our annual trip to the Williamsburg area from 3-20 - 3-24 from our Pa home. First stop was in Fredericksburg Va fishing the Rappahannock for shad. Nothing and no one else caught one on Sunday. I fished Beaver Dam Swamp reservoir Sunday PM and Monday around lunch in the upper area. No crappie but there were some small bluegills caught. I tried at Rock-A-Hock on the Chick ( off of the floating pier) and caught some ring perch but no crappie. I did not see anyone catching any in boats in my area either. I did talk to one fishermen who caught some a few days prior in the dock pier area down stream. I fished Little creek park also for a hour. Nothing and the lake is draw down about 6 plus feet.
We enjoyed the nice weather and did some sight seeing so it was a nice trip despite the lack of fish caught. The water seemed cold and the foliage seemed to not be in full swing-bloom as in past years so I can understand my lack fish.
