Fishing and Hunting Report April 24th

4/24/2017

0 Comments

 
Hunting this past week has been hit or miss. Some nice birds are reportedly being taken but gobbling is not consistent and plenty of birds are walking off without making much fuss. I personally had three gobblers within range but out of sight that began fighting. They had been triple gobbling and carrying on like crazy but after the violent fight the gobbling stopped and they disappeared.
Fishing is pretty good, or it was until the rain came on. Shad are hot in the Rappahannock River and so are white perch. Reports of rockfishing are slow but when you get on them, they are big fish. Some 40+ inch fish are reportedly in both rivers. Catfishing is ramping up.
Bass fishing in ponds came on until the cooler weather. Look out this coming weekend when it warms back up again. Crappie are tailing off now the spawn is over. Bream fishing will be quite good though. Look for the snakehead bite to improve.
I welcome any pictures of anglers that want to have it posted for the outdoor report. Simply email it to me! Give me the details on the names, fish size and where in general it/they were caught. Same goes for turkey pics. I love to see women and youth outdoors so those pics get priority.
Bent rods and empty shells to you!
