Gonna need a big rod.

For the Potomac River, I like the white spinnerbait for early spring thru Summer. Make sure you touch the grass, bump into something and stop it every once in a while. As the water warms don’t be afraid to speed up your retrieval and make them decide right then.

Shallow running crankbaits in the grass. When I say shallow running it’s less than a foot. Again pull it above and thru the grass. Don’t get frustrated with removing grass off your lure. The bites are there, will you be willing?

Green Pumpkin Baby Brush Hog will always get bit when you are in a productive area. Grass, wood, docks, rocks as it all works.

I started using the black and blue Gremlin in the lilly pads this summer and I really like them. I plan to do more this summer.

Nice boat. Time to hit the water.

I fish as many as I can. Maybe miss 2-3 tournaments a year. I need lots of practice.

2 of my fishing club buddies traveled to Florida to get some fishing in. They are now reporting 6 inches of snow on the ground. 🥶☃️

Don’t paint the John boat. It needs the battle scars to show it has been used. The fish don’t care.

Way to go James. Good start to the season. I want to get out we keep getting snow in Virginia.

Nice work!

If you are gonna get one, that’s a nice one to have!

Welcome Tom, you are on the right track. I have learned a lot.
