Trophy Fish from Richmond Sign & Design Services, Inc. ! ...... PLEASE COME BACK FOR UPDATED INFORMATION WEEKLY !!!
Welcome to our adventure .... 5 Degrees of Fishing ! We currently have registered 8 different freshwater species in the state of Virginia for a trophy. Every 5 species, a Master Angler Award is given in 5 successive levels, for 25 state gamefish in total. I have a Level 1 and am on the mission to get all the way to Level 5 ! So I have some work to do in landing 17 different trophy species of fish ... most likely a lifelong endeavor, but it has only taken 5 years to get this far so we'll see ! I intend to document each species from here on out and decided to get my feet wet with a quick series on crappie, since I know and love them so well and have caught several citations. We invite you to check out our page and would love to share any of our knowledge with others who have the desire to take on the sport of fishing.
In an effort to streamline and cut down on endless scrolling, I have decided to break up the information and do a new page for each species as it comes along, so look for the quick jumps to the pages for information on the species you are after. Look us up at http://www.richmondsigns.com and keep watching for our YouTube series as it comes !

Monthly Tips
New Species each Month !
This last month was literally a wash out. With the most rain on record in November, fishing was challenging on the river to say the least. Flooding, fast and muddy water was the norm and highly prohibited my search for new trophies. Stay with us ... we will find them out there somewhere soon !
Need answers to your fishing questions ?
Let us know what you are fishing for and in what type of water, and we can probably help ! Whether it is casting the surf for a spanish mackerel, or rigging a slip bobber for catching crappie, texas vs. carolina vs. wacky worm, or crickets vs. worms .... we've got some good answers for you from years of fishing, studying and watching the pros do it. Next to family and running the business, fishing is a huge passion. We can also do boat wraps and decals for all those avid boaters/fisherman out there ! Give us a shout ! Quick link to our site !

- I will be featuring smallmouth in the tips and tricks section this month. One small tip to get your interest ... one very under utilized and valued lure when it comes to smallmouth, is the good ole beetle spin ! Small size ... like 1/8 oz. .... my favorite 2" curly tail grub body colors are white and smoked silver. Many 4lb smallies have come off that rig ! More details to follow soon ....

- DOWN twitching, huh !? never thought of that or obviously tried it, either ... I will ! I always twitch like fishing a plastic worm, and I never use swivels on lures. Only occassionally do I use a barrel swivel and a leader for some lures. I'll have to try the green/red jigs, too. Thanks for the input !

- Hey there....Great info! I'm an avid Crappie guy and have a buddy that loves it too. This is great info. We usually use jigs, and have great success with those, especially a green body with a reddish tail, also Chartrouise is always good. I really appreciate the tips on the bobbers and tieing them on. We'll definitly be using those. One thing I might advise you on, is that if you're useing Jigs with a small lead head, never use a swivel. Tie the line directly to the jig head. The action is much better, and the fish seem more apted to strick. Also, and this is important.....When using a jig, as you've said, keep it moving, but also twitch it down every three or four seconds. By twitching it down I mean a very slight twitch.....Imagine that there is a bead of water on the end eye of your rod, and you're just trying to shake it off. It's a very light twitch, but it will work wonders over twitching UP. Try it and see. Thanks again for the great site.

- Ok, not only have I caught Crappie with Darian, but he cut up some fillets, lightly battered and fried 'em up on the spot. Delicious!
Hey, you need to hook me up with some graphics for my Jon Boat. Good luck on that next citation!
