Thread: What is the Best place for Specks, in Northern VA ?

Right where you live is supposed to be great crappie fishing: "Occoquan Reservoir has a very good crappie fishery and anglers should concentrate on areas with structure during the early spring. Anglers consistently catch fish around boat docks, fish attractors, or brush piles." Slab's comment on the Potomac are accurate from what I've heard, 'tho, I've never had the opportunity to fish there, Lake Anna is close for you and is a real fish factory. The Dogwoods are gonna bloom real soon!

What area of the Occoquan do you fish in the spring? It's so big that I am not sure where to start?

I've never fished it, just relaying some of my very limited not-so-local knowledge. I can testify firsthand though, that Lake Anna has lots of fish, haven't been there in over a year, but, ready to try it again soon.
