Springtime in Virginia
Despite terrible weather, our roadtrip down to Virginia was a resounding successes in terms of species life list additions!
Link for the read: http://catchingthemall.com/springtime-in-virginia/ We had hoped to fish for shad and herring on the Potomac river, but conditions were not conducive to this... ![[Image: P5053051-1024x768.jpg]](http://catchingthemall.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/P5053051-1024x768.jpg) Luckily, I found the species of herring I was looking for in an unlikely spot! Despite the muddy, cold water the snakehead also cooperated just enough for us... ![[Image: P5063093-1024x768.jpg]](http://catchingthemall.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/P5063093-1024x768.jpg) Crazy mummichog kept spoiling our microfishing endeavours... ![[Image: P5073145-1024x768.jpg]](http://catchingthemall.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/P5073145-1024x768.jpg) And in the end we prevailed with a bonus species we hadn't expected to catch... and pandemonium ensued! ![[Image: P5083234-1024x768.jpg]](http://catchingthemall.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/P5083234-1024x768.jpg)

RE: Springtime in Virginia
The time I couldn't go on this trip...is the time everyone catches a White Catfish. You know, I've tried for them three times now...around the area where you fished.
Life is not fair... Where are George's pictures? Malama o ke kai Caution - Objects in picture are smaller than they appear. I am genetically predisposed to make fish look bigger. Life List: 577 species and counting (2016: 91 new species) http://muskiebaitadventures.blogspot.ca/...-list.html |

Perhaps there's some kind of pattern to follow for next time. George's pictures are on his camera lol.
