Bill Poch Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 With the Potomac river gauge at 1.4 feet today I decided to wade up at Harper's Ferry after work tonight. It's by far one of my favorite places, it's just so beautiful up on the river up there. Any way, manage a few dinks and a nice 2lb smallie. I missed a couple on a Bass Pro mini tube. I think my hooks are too small for the tubes and didn't penetrate through the tube. Gotta figure out the right hook to use. It was just T rigged on a small worm hook. Any way, had a 1st tonight, this was after I pushed the barb the rest of the way through, had to then hike a mile back to the Jeep and another 15 min drive to my friends house to cut it. Apparently, I was the fresh catch of the day. As long as I have been fishing, I new it was going to happen sooner or later. But, I'd take arm over face any day. It was by pure dumb luck. I have a back pack tackle bag with fishing rod holder. I had my ultra light on the tackle bag with the jitter bug on, when to take the back pack off, Wham! Good thing I had a buddy there to come over and cut the line and help out, his exact 1st words were "dude, you're in bad shape" LOL. At 1st it was 2 of the 3 hooks from the treble hook, thank god on the 2nd one it didn't get past the barb. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt as much as I imagine it would. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't pleasant. We both looked at each other and said, too bad we don't know the cool method of getting this out with fishing line. I've seen the video's before of doing it, gonna study up now. I only had 10lb line in my bag anyway, so not sure if that would have been strong enough for it though. But I caught a 2lb smallie, so I'm calling tonight a win. Quote
nastynate Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 The boat got to see the water for a second time this month yesterday. Minikin and I went and played in the rocks a few weeks ago at Taylor's landing only to catch a few smallies. I think Allen had two keepers and I had the typical potomac short fish. Over the weekend I updated software to the hummingbird to keep it fresh and after resetting everything back to factory default I went out after work yesterday to play around and maybe catch a fish or two. Has anyone ever tried to setup a fish finder with fishing polls in the boat? Try it and see how long you stay focused on the finder. Lol. The evening wasn't full of numbers of bass but got 3 in the boat and one got to be a new lake best for me. Went to turn on the go pro for pics and the battery was dead so I had to settle for a blackberry one arm shot. The fish measured at 22" and weighed right at 6lb. Not to shabby for a summer fish. Would have like to hook up with that at the spawn and see the weight then. Quote
BigTerp Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Anyone know how the water level is from Hancock up river towards Cohill Station this time of year? To shallow to run, or OK with a jet? Gauge reads 3.05 this morning. Thinking of motoring up to Cohill Station and fishing my way back down one day this weekend. I grew up in Hancock but haven't taken a boat up past the 522 bridge since I was a kid. Quote

Not sure what my buddy had tied on, but i had a texas rigged strike king rage rail craw trying to punch the lily pads, but I wasn't getting many hits, so I started fishing it in large gaps in the lily pads like a swim jig, and missed one, and then caught one.

Bill Poch Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Ran up to Middletown Pond tonight after the storm came through. Only managed one little 2 pounder on a wacky rig watermelon senko. Only the 2nd one I've caught out of there. Hoping to get the they yak out on the river this weekend. Quote
