i was only able to get this pic before the rain started and i had to put away the tie and the camera....but the day turned out well caught a lot in the 2- 3 lb range mostly flipping a black /blue fleck chigger craw to wood and buzzing a frog around pads and spatterdock

fathers day was great as well....i took a while trying to decide if i wanted to get more bass gear or get my bow ready to do some bow fishing......the last few times i have been out i have seen more gar and carp than you can shake a stick at....i wound up getting the lures and some stuff to make more spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and chatterbaits..... i just put together a new spinnerbait skirt that resembles the strike king color sexy shad.....it worked great the first trip out

i know i only have a few more days w/ the tie so i think i am going to head out and wade the upper potomac for smallmouth tomorrow and then put the tie in the mail on monday or tuesday

well here were the last two decent bass i caught while in possession of the tie......caught three others but they were smaller had a great fish tied up for a few seconds but he threw the buzz bait when he made an awesome leap.....the plus side... the buzzbait in the pic is one i made and is knocking the tar out of these potomac bass.....

the total for the month is more than 60 bass, most in the 2-3 lb range

hope Basser1 has the same luck.....thanks everyone

Great job, Chris.  I love those frogs, but I havent caught anything on them this year.  Hopefully this weekend will change that.  Thanks for hosting the tie and putting in your pics

Pete, got the tie and will be doing my best not to get skunked...LOL I have a tournament on the 25th so the tie will be with me for sure.....

Well, I didn't get skunked but that is all I can say!  LOL We had a blast on the water though and that was the best part!  I can honestly say that the weather was the worst I have ever fished in, in my life!  Including the severe thunderstorm including the straight down lightening!

Pete, now you know darn well I wouldn't do that to my fellow anglers! I did catch fish with the tie, just not what I was hoping for. Still did alright. If anything blame LIP for his bad mojo!

I made some new sheets to send along with the Tie on Microsoft Excel the one that was with the tie was full.  Pete do you want the full sheet sent to you or kept with the TIE?  I still have not gotten a PM back from Fish-n-Hunt on his address?  Pete if you have it send me an email.

Basser---Did you check your PM's? I sent you a reply 4 days ago. Bill J. Let me know!

Basser 1-- I re-sent you a PM let me know if you get it? Bill J.

Charlie, I sent you a PM.   Great communications here fellas!
