Miserable day a few weeks ago. Rainy and nasty, caught a few this size throughout the day. Had a good time.

Nice Fish wTg!

Does the water level flucuate all day?

I tell ya. Them tidal fish, fight alot harder than freshwater bass. I couldn't believe it, almost felt like a smallie.

What part of the Potomac are you in? Great looking fish. I remember 10 yrs ago, taking my bass boat on the potomac and landing 6-8 an hour like that. It was the time of my life and I do agree with those tidal fish fighting harder. Keep it up and give Mattawomen creek a shot after the weed/lilly pads come in. But go on a weekday, cause of boat traffic.

Hope this pic works, is a 5lb 5oz Potomac bass from this weekend, she was the smallest of my stringer that went 22lbs 04oz.

Nice fish guys!

Gunny - I see you're from Quantico...I'm wondering, do you ever fish on the base? Many years ago I used to live in Stafford, and I remember once going out to Lunga Reservoir to fish with my dad. I recall getting skunked, but it sure looked bassy, if I remember right.

flippin4it · 05-09-06, 10:02 PM

Gunny, nice fish......Where abouts did you catch those bass? Or is that a secret??? LOL

I'll tell you after my tournament this Saturday!!!

Drum, I do usually fish on base, but not Lunga

That place is a sisspool!! I fish on Smith Lake out by TBS, I have caught a number of trophy fish from that place. 2 over 9lbs!! And can't count the 5's to 8's!! I don't like Lunga, because of the silt on the bottom, it's about 3 feet thick, I had to do my dive re-qual out there and once I hit the bottom, I had ZERO visability for all the silt that floated up!!!

Cool, thanks for the info...I had no idea! PM inbound, with a few more questions (I thought I'd take it offline from this thread, so as to not get further off the Potomac topic).

nice fishes dudes!!!

Those are some awesome bass for the potomac. If you can catch them like that consistantly, I can defenitely see you guys winning some tournaments on it.
