Great post, thank you for the information. Because this is a college tournament I feel a lot of teams will not be making big runs so I feel the really close options will get crowded though I won't count them out. On the map I was intrigued by the aquia creek. Any information in that one? It looks like a big creek you could sit in all day and find what you need.

1. Try not to set the hook into the rock if you can tell the difference. If its just gently snagged you can usually pop it off with ease. 2. Bow and arrow (it even works with braid surprisingly) 3. If shallow enough get close then reel down until the lure is all the way to the rod tip then just push forward slightly and it's out. Works extremely well and doesn't do any harm believe it or not. 4. Pull straight back (no rod bend) and hope for the best.

More specifically the potomac! I have a tournament coming up in October and I have never been up there. We are launching out of smallwood state park. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Lure/presentation advice and especially what areas to fish are the most unknown to me. I have read that flipping cover and punching mats are key but I am not so sure in the fall with this cooler weather. thanks!
