Weekly Fishing Adventures (July 30 - August 5)
7/30/18
On Monday, I woke up early and headed to my Muskie hole on the Shenandoah river. I was able to fish from about 9:00-11:00 in the morning. I started the day off throwing my brand new lure and first glide bait called the Phantom Soft tail, the 6inch size. On my very first cast with the lure, a huge Eagle dove into the water and thought it was going to get an easy meal! Luckily I didn't actually hook the bird, but it was one of the coolest things I've seen while fishing.
I stayed put in the same spot for about an hour and a half with no luck, so I tied on my trusty Mepps Bucktail spinner on and waded a ways down the river. My first cast after turning around to come back upstream, I hooked into a fish. After a solid 2 minute fight I had the fish in my net, it was a 33 inch, 10 pound Muskie! My fourth of the month.

On Thursday, I headed to Four Mile Run in Arlington Virginia and met up with my good friend Jacob. We were hoping to catch some bait and fish for Catfish, but when we got to the river we instantly noticed how muddy the water was. After about 20 minutes of bait fishing without any luck we began throwing spinner baits into the stained water. I managed 2 bass that ranged form 10-14 inches and Jacob pulled a baby Snakehead out of the water along with a little Striped Bass. Overall we had a great time, but the conditions didn't allow us to catch many fish.
Thats all the fishing I was able to do this past week since we got a couple inches of rain on Thursday night and Friday. Hopefully the river will settle early next week so I can head back to the Shenandoah river in search for some trophy Muskie! Thanks for reading!
