Threw everything from deep crankbaits, buzz baits, jointed swim baits & wacky worms, but only got hook-ups on the O'l Monster curly-tail worm. Drug it over and through the grasses on humps and down the ledges.

Fished a club tournament and had a great day on the Lower Potomac! Started fishing a rising tide around hard cover, including wood and rocks, but the bites were few. I was, however, to catch a nice 3lb, 5oz largemouth on a black and blue jig as high tide approached, but I decided to run the tides and find more aggressive bass once the tide turned and began falling. My strategy paid off, and I found willing biters in submerged hydrilla and milfoil. I caught many largemouth over the next few hours on a Jack Hammer in Bhite Delight and a 4" DieZel Minnow trailer. My largest largemouth was a 3lb, 14oz fish that slammed the Jack Hammer like he hadn't eaten in days. My best 5 fish weighed a respectable 14lbs, 6oz.

Fished for a few hours on Father's Day in the rain. Fishing was still slow like it is at Piney Run but managed a few bass fishing the outside edge of the lily pads using a drop shot. We also tried main lake points but had no success.

Launched from Green Bridge Ramp around 6:45AM and fished until 11:45. Fished to the right along the shoreline and then across next to the buoys. The initial bites came on the large flat directly across from the boat ramp on worms and neko rigs. There were quite a few fish hitting the surface but would not chase lures. Kept heading north along the right shoreline and got a nice largemouth on a zoom trick worm next to wood on the outside point of one of the coves. After the rain stopped, the wind picked up and caught a few bass on the megabass jerkbait next to some shallow grass. Also got a nice chain pickerel as well. The nicest fish came on a Jackall pikupiku top water around 10am in a very shallow cove. The Pikupiku also got a few more topwater fish.

Saw a lot of movement in the spatterdock and caught a few flipping/punching near high tide. After the tide went out, caught more on an ozark rig stickbait with a screw lock spinner on the tail along grass edges.

Fished the evening on the Potomac. Fished the last of the incoming and the start of the outgoing before daylight ran out. The tide didn’t give us the greatest conditions (last couple hours of outgoing would have been best). I found some success throwing a watermelon red Fluke in the submerged grass and twitching it through. I throw my flukes on my jerk bait/light crankbait rod. I use a snap with the fluke on the superline hook and still get great action on the bait. Light breeze and partly cloudy skies.

fish were caught around grass, especially in the morning. moving in and out with the tide was key. once the morning topwater bite died off, fishing slow around grass produced bites.
