Heat wave coming to Virginia so I got out early and snagged a few before it got hot. Shallow running crankbaits were the hit. 

I went out fishing today with my friendly 4 inch shad soft plastic swim bait looking for largemouth bass. This nice 23 inch striper decided to give it a try. I don’t usually get the thrill of my spinning gear zinging as the fish is taking line out so this was great to experience. Looking forward to more. 😀 🎣

Got out for a few hours today and caught this nice one on a white swim jig. It’s a good start for the June SUF tournament. 

Not the targeted species but the Potomac River channel cats love the Gremlin. 

Got on the Potomac River one day this weekend and caught one nice bass on a shallow running crankbait in the grass. 

Rain day but caught fish using Carolina rig at Lake Anna, Va and added to my SUF tournament entries. 

Slowing down my presentation with a creature bait. Tossed next to wood or rock was productive for me to day. Added to my SUF tournament. 

Spent the weekend fishing at Buggs  Island. Spent a lot of the time using plastic swimbaits. Caught stripers, crappie, white bass, catfish and largemouth bass. Rained mostly Saturday was miserable with rain on Sunday. Fish don’t care and do bite in the rain. 😱  

Finesse swimbait time at Buggs Island on the Virginia/North Carolina border. 

Got out early this morning and picked up one on a popper.
