Fish grass lines and sparse grass clumps in 3-8’ of water. Swimming worms in the same cover mop up less aggressive fish. Wind is helpful for the spinnerbait bite. In less windy conditions the swimming worm was more effective.

Fished a club tournament on the Lower Potomac River and caught numerous largemouth bass on a combination of lightly weighted 4" Yamamoto Senkos in Fire Craw and Berkley 7" Power Worms in Blue Fleck. Bass were positioned next to scattered clumps of grass, specifically eel grass and milfoil. The bite was aggressive for the first 45 minutes as the tide was going out. The bite slowed significantly once the tide stopped moving out and during slack tide. The bite slowly picked up again as the tide began rolling in and continued until the tide went slack again in the early afternoon. I was fortunate enough to get a sample/test pack of Mustad Alpha Point Alpha-Grip Finesse Hooks from Omnia a month ago, and they have become my go-to hook. Don't let the "Finesse" tag scare you - these hooks are super sharp and super strong!

Fished pads at low tide with a frog. Caught a few, missed a few. The usual frog fishing. Moved out to sparse grass bay and threw the cut r worm past chunks of grass. Reeling the worm about as slow as I could. Caught a couple of shorts on a dropshot too but nothing culled.
