Listening to Brian's LIVE last night, he answered one of my questions...it was pertaining to fishing docks.. I asked if the bass would be under main lake docks this time of year (pre-spawn/spawn).., not just ones in coves, with the boat traffic going on. He said "Yes, Yes, YES..!.." (🤣).
SO I took that juice today and caught this 21", 4.81lb largemouth...! Thanks Blat, otherwise I would've been only seeking out docks in the backs of coves..!!
1st buzzbait Bass of the year... Going down the bank, a bass swirled about 20' in front of me.. made the cast and BLOOSH... Fish on.!!! . I forgot how much I loved that topwater blow-up.!
Got my Prize package today from Greg Blanchard, from winning his February monthling tournament..!
Been a good February. Hartwell is staging up for the spawn, it’s about get fun!
First fish of 2026- Orange Chatterbait, 52 degree muddy water on the Potomac , two feet deep, bait went weightless on the retrieve, set the hook - bingo - fish

7 fish caught on the Potomac today. Smallest fish was a 2.95 lb. Top five fish weighed in at 16.38 lbs and the highest water temp was 57 in the back of a creek.
First full day of fishing after heart surgery. It was truly a blessing to be back out on the water!
Haven’t done a lot of crappie fishing before (so much fishing to do, so little time), but I feel like this is a fair size slab. I may just have to target these next time!
