Lot of rain came in over the past week so the river was chocolate milk. I couldn’t get bit on a moving bait. Fished around pilings with a shaky head and black trick worm and landed a couple. Water temp was reading 48 on the depth finder, so I expect it to get better in the coming weeks.

The 5th stop of the MLF Pro Circuit was on the Potomac River June 17-20th. I had a strong tournament finishing up in 27th place after catch 14.75lbs on day 1 and 2, then finished the tournament with just over 12lbs for a three day total of 41lbs 10 ounces. This event I had a 1/2oz green pumpkin Z-Man Jackhammer locked in my hand. I used a green pumpkin and hot snakes colored Razor Shadz as a trailer depending on the water clarity in the areas I was fishing. The hot snakes help the bait stand out a little better. The areas I was keying on were grass flats. There were little feeding windows throughout the day depending on the tide with the last two hours of outgoing seeming to be the best. If you want to learn more about how this tournament went and see the fish catches check out my YouTube channel, Grae Buck Fishing. Here is my practice and day 1 recap: https://youtu.be/CitcS0UfHG4
