I fish it all the time including the open tournaments they have there. It is very deep, usually clear, lots of weeds but has some nice fish in it. Depending on the area you catch both SM and LM. Allen

Just start fishing for bass on the Upper Potomac and you will eventually catch one. They will hit everything but like jerkbaits the best. Allen

I am not sure about my schedule but, the college course I wanted to take filled up before I registered so I will have more free time this summer. Right now the Upper Potomac river fishing is terrible! Combine that with all the pleasure craft and I do not even want to fish it until September. Now there are some great TM only lakes that are withing a reasonable drive. Allen

I am a diehard jig fisherman but I find in the summer creature baits work better than jigs. Spring and fall the jigs flat out catch fish but besides high muddy water I do not have a lot of luck. The other thing to consider is the fish are not close to shore where you can catch them? Allen

I let the conditions decide which I will be using and my favorite bait is the one working that day. Allen

Bring some Junebug colored worms, dark colored creature baits, buzzbait and a double colorado spinnerbait. Fish the riprap and the point across from the riprap with the wooden pole sticking up. Allen Hi Allen. Thanks for the info. Probably try again to get there soon. We don't have any buzzbaits and I'm guessing Yum Crawbugs might be creature baits. Thanks again. Blairs Valley water is muddy all the time which makes it predictable to me. Dark colored baits like black and junebug work the best. Since the water is warm use baits that have a lot of appendages or movement. Allen

You need to check out Trapp Pond in DE if you can. The biggest 5 bass limit I have ever caught was there fishing from the bank. Fished a Zoom horny toad at dusk and had somewhere around 25lbs for the five biggest fish. Didn't weigh them but I caught 9 that were between 20-23" in like two hours not counting those dink 18" bass Allen

About a 12lb carp or a 20lb snapping turtle both caught on a baby brush hog. Allen

They turn into a black goo anytime I try to melt them down. Not the handpours but the injected powerbaits. Allen

Were gorillas riding in the back seat that much of a problem? ;D Allen

I am trying to think how this would work? The main problem I can see is the hook point and line tie would be to close to work. Let me look at some lipless baits and see if it is possible. Allen Maybe instead of an EWG it could be a weighted Kahle hook or weighted octopus/circle hook. I see what you are saying with the line tie. It needs to be on the top, not the front. Thats why I'm thinking Kahle or Circle type hook. http://www.***.com/Blade-Runner_Swim_Bait_Insert_Weighted_Hook/descpage-BRHSBI.html I was thinking maybe these could be modified in some way? http://www.***.com/Jackall_Mask_Vib_70/descpage-JV.html#pImage This is king of what you are looking for but with the hook coming out the back. Allen

Zoom is what I have always used but I did pickup some Berkley lizards cheap that I am going to try. Allen

If there were more than one it isn't a tick. Allen ;D

Depends on the situation? So far this year most of my fish have been caught on jigs butt summer is usually all topwater and soft plastics. Allen

Zoom swimming fluke if that counts as a swimbait. Allen

Do not re-melt anything by Berkley or those Strike King Zeros trust me on this. Allen

Solid black Berkley chigger craw. RC 1.5 chrome, dark gray back and MS scales. I would be happy if they brought back a lot of the discontinued baits myself. Allen

Where did you get that bottom DS bait? Allen

Blairs Valley can be tough but I fished it only once this year and caught over 30 fish. Now I usually only catch about 10-15 per trip there but they are all in the 12-17" range. Greenbrier has the problem of too many small fish. I can go there in the summer and just wreck 10" LM on a black DS worm. Bigger fish are always caught on jigs or topwater and my largest last year was about 6lbs. Allen

Fishing the Upper Potomac you only need a few lures. Shallow crankbaits in crayfish #1, shad/white and firetiger/chart. I recommend Bandit 100's as they are cheap and work well. For soft plastics; Zoom baby brush hogs in green pumkin, black and maybe watermelon candy but I fish the first two 95% of the time. Senkos; watermelon, green pumkin and the Kinami natural shad color really work. Zoom flukes in pearl white or Albino work around grass and in shallow water. Just watch out because the Muskee like them. Topwaters; Heddon tiny torpedo, Jitterbug and a white buzzbait. In the fall jerkbaits and I use Lucky Craft which are expensive but a Husky Jerk #8 in Silver works. Allen

Try fishingskirts.com The top color on that jig is Pumkin Green Glitter 029 and I think the bottom is Orange Crush 023 but it is hard to see the orange in that jig pic. Allen
