soccplayer07 Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 What a day!!! I fished the Potomac with my girl today. On the water from 12-3pm (not the best starting time, she likes her sleep). Started off fishing chunk rock in 55* water. Did very well there with traps and jigs. Pulled around 12 in the first hour. I worked a few lay downs on gravel points. Most fish there were holding tight to wood. I also took a few on outside edges of old grass. I never really ventured out of a 500-700 yard span. I caught 24 total in about 3 hours. My best 5 probably went a little over 20 lbs!!! Everything was on jigs and traps. here is my big girl! Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted March 20, 2010 Super User Posted March 20, 2010 What a great three hours of fishing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote

kiko13 Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 I was getting a play by play from Dan and Thai while we fished Lake Anna today. Great job!! Ernie Quote
Bigs Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Very nice catch. What a great way to start off the season on the Potomac. My boat should be out of the shop by the end of this coming week, I'll be out there too. My friends have been catching dozens and dozens of 3-5 pounders in mattawoman creek this past week. I cant wait to get out there. I guess it's time to kiss Lake Anna goodbye for now. Quote
shimmy Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 thata boy. Way to start smackin em around out there. That last pic was a fat chunker. Well done, keep us posted. You probably know the potomac as well as anyone on the site, i expect to see you pull up an 8 pounder from the river this year. Quote
soccplayer07 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Posted March 21, 2010 Thanks for the kind words guys. I have to get my outboard fixed SOON so I can truly venture out on the river! Quote
rondef Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Nice job out there soccplayer07, those are some nice chunks. Quote
Super User Shane J Posted March 22, 2010 Super User Posted March 22, 2010 I'll be fishing the Potomac (for the first time ever)for a tournament middle of May, and I hope we get on some like those right there. Nice job! Quote
RockvilleMDAngler Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Looks like an awesome day! I fished the river both days this weekend and caught them on traps Saturday but Sunday the trap bite died so I caught them on a black and blue jig on wood cover in 8 feet of water. Biggest was around 4. Had I known Pohick was on fire I would have saved gas and not run to Mattawoman! Quote
soccplayer07 Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 Thanks guys! I can't wait until all the grass really starts to come in... Quote
