We wrapped up a week of fishing in the Potomac River. Thanks, Ken, for showing me around and sharing your fishing expertise. Here are some pictures of a few bass and a couple of snakeheads I caught. Despite my efforts and hours spent on the river, I still haven’t figured out the best ways to catch bass on the Potomac River.

Ken Pfeiffer well I made it home today. Thanks again for a week fishing and learning the Potomac. I wish I could figure it out better. I can catch snakeheads. :-)

I couldn’t find a ramp and I just got the boat shined up. 😆

It was a great week of learning the Potomac River. Thanks Ken for hosting and teaching some new things and places as well as going in some deep creeks.

Congratulations to everyone, especially those who managed to secure a top 40 position. I appreciate that achieving a top 40 spot is possible regardless of the body of water you have access to, provided you fish with intensity and determination. I also love that if you missed top 40 you have one more chance to leverage SUF training to hone your skills. This is a great community.

Yes, Jig fish are great, and I am thrilled you got some bites! ;-) I will fish a 3/8 oz when I am fishing really shallow with soft bottom. I use almost exclusively 1/2 oz. I very much dislike the Level Rod NGX hook keep.;-) I would love to do some saltwater fishing.

Had a fun day today fishing in our club tournament on Saratoga Lake. I have not fished there in about a year. Ended up getting third. I was junk fishing with a 3/8 Jewel Bait jig with Berkley Chigger Craw using my 7' MH Fast rod on docks, weeds, and lily pads. Used ZMan 1/2 oz Blue gill spinner bait with slim Keitech green pumpkin paddle tail for a couple of undersized ones and a couple of pickerel. I was also fishing with a senko on the docks and caught one. I caught most of them very shallow. I had two good ones on, and I horsed them too much; they may have gotten me into 2nd or 1st. It is actually nice to turn off FFS and just focus on the visual stuff.
