justfishin Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 I just wanted to say hello to all. My health took a serious dive last Sept. and life has not been the same since. I have a hard time typing or even remembering anything sometimes. I have logged on a few times recently and enjoyed the post, especially the Smallie ones. They are starting to bite good in the Upper Potomac. I got out a few times with a buddie and last trip we had 33. They are scattered this time of year and the water was up and muddy, just the way we like it. Seems it took 5-8 feet of water on the eddies on the bank. We fished up into them and worked each one slow, starting at the tail of the break. Green Pumpkin tubes and Black hair jigs, both in 1/4 were the ticket. I certainly cannot guide right now but, my long time friend had a trip on the Susquehanna in Pa. two weeks ago and they had 55 with lots of 14-17 inchers. No real big ones though. Ok, I can't do this anymore so have a good year guys. Muddy, behave yourself. Jim :) Quote

justfishin Posted April 11, 2008 Author Posted April 11, 2008 A many thanks to all whom wrote, it means a lot. I will never be 100% but, then again, I never was,lol. I will be reading the post. I cannot leave this site, its the best !!!!! For the guys fishing Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia, my buddy works for the BFL tourneys and he said last weekend the fishing was not great but, there were a good many nice smallies caught along with those, what are they now?, oh, Largemouth,lol. Also, on the Susquehanna River in Pa. Montgomerys Ferry has been hot ,so the guys say, and on the Lower Potomac in DC around Blue Plains and Potomac Creek has been good. Kerr in Virginia was good for some friends last week and they say it was Cranks like the DT 10's and 16's, Single bladed 1 oz spinnerbaits and 5" Black Neon Tubes fished on 3/8 oz jigheads and as always this time of year my favorite, 1/2 Black Jig with a Zoom Flippin Blue Super Chunk. Again, thanks. Quote
