    Anybody ever fished the Rappahannock River?

    Never really fished the Rap...Been here for 10 years got a boat and here a lot of about the bass here. Never really see the pressure like on the Potomac. Any hints suggestions on where to start.
    Thanks

    Kris, I would put in at Hicks Landing and fish from Green Bay to Hopyard Bar. Be very careful of the mud flats and submerged wood on low tide. The outgoing tide will pull the bass out of the small feeder creeks and position them at the mouths of the creeks. Fish the mouths with small crankbaits and worms(senkos or finesse worms). Looks for duck blinds and wood in front of the creeks and you will find the bass. I catch a lot of small bass around the duck blinds and bigger ones in the creek channels. Green Bay use to be the go to spot but it is not yet back to it's old self(drought a few years back brought too much salt into the bay). Also when heading down toward Green Bay, fish the creek on the left! Let me know if you want to go fish it sometime.
