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.

I think the deer know that I don’t hunt so they hang out in my front yard. BLat slung me some tips on how to improve my grass so they may like that also.

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

Our fishing club has released the 2025 Tournament schedule. We are from Northern Virginia and a majority of the tournaments are on the Potomac River. This year we do have tournaments on Kerr Reservoir and Lake Gaston on the NC border. Smith Mountain Lake in southwest Virginia along with Lake Anna and Chickahominy River in central Virginia. Our club is unique with low membership ($35) and $10 tournament fees that go to support two free kid’s fishing derbies. We share how we caught fish and what structure type but not location. There is no real money to win but that doesn’t mean they are not competitive. I have been a co-angler for 3 years and I would encourage everyone to join a fishing club because you learn so much. Most clubs are in desperate need for co-anglers as I find a ride easily. Plus, I meet boaters that I get to bonus fish outside of tournaments.

The snow is slowly melting and the forecast for next week will have the temps in the mid 40’s. Maybe I can get out and try some cold water cranking. 🎣

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. 🥶☃️

Commented on Is this worth it?

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.
