Occoquan River kayak trip

[jason_purdy]

I decided to take the kayak out today on the Occoquan River ( Northern Virginia) and enjoy some time on the water. The temps had dropped nearly 30 degrees from yesterday. I downsized my gear and went finesse. 4 pound test, 1/32 oz tube jigs, focusing around docks near a natural drop off-I managed a dozen crappie, a half dozen small bass, and a few bluegill.  It was nice to be out on the water, and I kept a few for dinner. The three I kept became part of the meal with jalapeño cornbread, three bean salad, and a beer I brewed myself

looks like fun!  next time you're out, grab a couple of pictures of the river.  i'd love to see what it looks like!!!!

Will do, Alan. It's a short rocky river that crosses the Fall Line and feeds into the Potomac. It's good spot for kayaks.
