Hello guys, just wanted to introduce myself and thank all of you for the very useful information that's contained all over the site for a student Fisherman such as myself. I'm from the Gordonsville area, about two and a half hours away, I'm staying at a cabin at the State Park and will be here until Saturday. This is my third time here and I gotta say I just love it.
I'm traveling with my 24 foot pontoon boat that is equipped with a gen 3 seven-inch, & a motor guide XI5. I also have my home built 75 gallon tank for ale wives and if I'm lucky enough any gizzard shad and I might scoop up. I came through this last June and was able to catch about four striper each day for a three day stretch. I caught them around the campground on planer boards and the largest weighed seven and a half pounds, which was great for me. I'm still fine tuning my bait tank but it seems to work pretty well. I would like to possibly post some pictures about it for somebody who's interested in building their own and maybe that should go in another section of this forum. I built it out of a special material called kerdiboard which is used in the tile industry. It's a one and a half inch thick extruded styrofoam that has a waterproof membrane on both sides which give it structural support.
Anyways, thanks for the info and I will be reporting in anything of importance during my stay, JT
