Upcoming Tourney On The Potomac

[TheLastRodBender]

Hey guys, i'm gonna be fishin a tourney out of Leesylvania in a couple weeks and am wondering if anyone's got some info for me. I will be a 'co-angler' so i'll be on the back of the boat and not in control of location, but i talked to the boat owner and he said we will most likely be targeting grass mats. I know the basics of grass (baby 1 minus, wake baits, buzzbaits, flukes, etc) but am curious if anyone has been out on the grass on the potomac and what's been working. Since i wont be in the front of the boat, i'm gonna need an edge. Any info is appreciated.

Tight lines,

Derek

Always try a 5" Senko weightless..fish it like a fluke. I think they produce more then a super fluke.

The main river above Marshall Hall is stained and there is a good bit of debris in the water. The debris should be down stream by weeks end. Just about any place that looks like it will hold bass does. Every pattern seems to be working in creeks or on the main river. We fished a variety of patterns this week, grass, spatterdock pads, wood, spawn coves and a few wrecks. Our most productive bait was a white spinner bait or chatter bait. Next, a creature bait, such as Berkley’s four inch power hawg, was very productive. In the spawning coves, a wacky rigged stick worm, fished weightless also worked well. In the spatterdock fields the white spinner bait was the best producer and along the pad drops in the creeks we broke out an old bait, a deep diving Rattle Trap, to collect some quality bass. The crappie are in the creek coves in two to three feet of water doing their spring thing. They like a small white crappie tube slowly swimming above the bottom or a 1/8 ounce spoon twitched back to the boat. Good blue gills are in the same areas hitting the same baits.
