18" Bronzeback caught on the Potomac just north of Nolands Ferry on a 4"tube.

Smallie caught on upper Potomac. A little bit south of Brunswick launch. 16" caught on a green pumpkin tube.

Hey guys, I caught this rainbow earlier in the year on Green ridge Mtn at 15 Mile creek. There were 4 or 5 of them swimming around together, this was the biggest one and I put him back for someone else to catch after. I was just using rapala.

Nice fish !!!!

What ever works!!! Sometimes ya gotta sneek up on the jokers to get 'em

I know people who wear camo!

Wow !!! Camo huh? When I bank fish I never walk parallel to the bank. I always approach the water straight on.You can really sneak them that way

honest engine. I usually try to stay back a few feet, seems to make a difference when they aren't biting.

Don't laugh at the camo, it works! I do substantially better when bank fishing in camo than not. On a shoreline without any growth or from a boat or dock it doesn't seem to make much difference. I also try to avoid casting a shadow on the water. Tom

Took a trip from on the Potomac from Snyders Landing (Sharpsburg Md) to DargansBend ( Dargan Md) this past weekend. We camped in West Virginia just north of Antietam Creek. One Hell of a good time. We are already planning another one (further North in Allegany) when I get back from North Carolina in Sept.

I was at it again!!! Hit the Potomac on Saturday for a 4 hour float trip. The water was crystal clear.  http://s643.photobucket.com/albums/...21%202010/

Looks like you've had some pretty good trips on the Potomac!

Yup, We found a pattern that works. This season it started rough because of the runoff but now we are catching more large fish. Good way to waste a half day.

I went down to St. Mary's County on Friday to fish the Lower Potomac. I got down ther at 10:00PM and met my friend Rodney and his friend Dan.We fished that night until about 2:30 AM. Then we got up at 6 and hit the water in our kayaks. the final tally was
Me: 2 Croakers (Hardhead), 1 Flounder, 11 Bluefish.
Rodney: 2 Croakers, 1 Flounder, 6 Bluefish and 1 Bluecrab
Dan: 2 Bluecrabs ( although they should not be counted because he caught them with his paddle and not a rod and reel.

Hey, I had to go toOakland today and decided to head to do a lil fishin on the Yough. If you get on Liberty street in town and drive a couple miles you will see it. There's a bridge that goes over it and if you look out to your left drivin over the bridge you will see a huge rock. Even though the water is low now, that is still a good spot. I caught 2 small mouth, one was a real nice size fish too, especially being this late in the year and a spot right by the road where I'm sure everybody and their brother fishes. there was even remnants from a recent campfire there, lol. A couple years ago I caught a golden trout at the same spot. There is a dirt road(sort of) that you can walk back(DNR leaves the gate open during summer), if you follow it back you can see  the place where they measure the waterflow and levels and post it on the net. Past that, go under the railroad bridge and keep walking following the grass that's been mashed down by fourwheelers and you come to a nice deep slow moving section of the river. I've caught huge rock bass there, largemouth, smallmouth, rainbows, you name it. I didn't get to stay long, but I was checkin it out on the walk back and the water is low enough that you can see real good...I saw two huge carp, like the size of the ones you see in the potomac. Wish i would have charged my batteries, I'd have pictures! next time, I guess. BTW, I put the bass back that I caught!

I went down to the river on Saturday. It was simply beautiful out. I knew it would be a slow day because the river rose and dropped 3' in just over 48 hrs. But I did get 3 fish.

okay, stupid question...what's a bronzeback?

A Bronzeback is another name for a Smallmouth Bass. The name comes from the brownish gold color

Caught a couple carp recently.
