Did smallmouth fishing today in the Upper Potomac with OldGuardAngler.  We caught more than our fair share.  I'd guess somewhere around 20 - 25 combined.  OldGuardAngler caught at least 3 in the 2 - 3 pound range.  Almost all the fish were caught with a white/blue shad and a blue shad rattler.  They were striking and striking hard.  Some were also caught on senkos, tubes and gulp minnows...but they were all small. 

put in @ pohick today..... caught a lot of bass, somwhere between 20 and 30, most in the 2 lb range....a few pushing 4 +......got them on an assortment of lures...... a lot came on topwater zoom horny toads and rage tail toads....... black senkos........black/ blue flake chigger craws...... white chatterbait w/ chart trailer...... and i had a musky follow a big swimbait i was throwing, but i wasn't expecting it and pulled it up and out as he appeared under it about a foot from the boat......the majority of the bass were caught around wood in 4 ft or less....some of the larger ones were caught in the hydrilla at the mouth of pohick on the chigger craw

how is everone else doing

if you are fishing bass in the potomac.....find grass or wood.....throw spinner and chatterbaits.......pitch senkos and chigger craws..... and don't forget to throw a lot of topwaters, i have been getting fish on frogs, buzzbaits, poppers and walkers regardless of where the sun is if it is low tide and always during low light

Seen a 2`5``about muskee in the far shallows.Could`nt get to him.That would have been a great fight.

What boat do you use at Burke?  I've done the electric motor and the rowboat option,  usually I take the rowboat because it's just as fast as that little trolling motor and it's only $16.

             Jabu goto boats discution and pull up ``whats your boat`` theres a pitcher there.

fished buggs island over the weekend. as can be expected a lot of boat traffic on labor day weekend. caught some blues and channel cats at night biggest 20 lbs. Mike

                   If their`s anyone into big cats this is for you; I talked to the park manager at Fountainhead park and he informed me that there are 50 lb+ flat head cats in the lake.He said sense they quit stocking it a couple years ago,that alot of people quit fishing their and hardly anybody catfishes at all anymore, so the cats are getting huge. The carp are huge in there too.
                  Just thought someone could use that little piece of info.
              
Catch`em all
