Could only fish a few hours in the AM and we hit the tide wrong, but still managed to put a few in the boat. Fish in the photo came off a Picasso shock blade pro and hog farmer spunk shad trailer. Couldn’t buy a bite throwing soft plastics. My fishing partner was doing well tipping the tops of the grass with a Manns Baby One Minus as well. When all else fails in the Potomac, throw a bladed jig!
