It is starting to warm up slowly? Potomac was 43 degrees this morning but like 4-5' higher than normal level. Allen

Well if you can get the keys I will go with you as I have saw some pics of fish caught there. Allen

Now is a good time for basser89 to start planning the GTG for this year! Allen

Albino and pearl for flukes; Green Pumkin, black, watermelon for everything else is about all you need for the UP. Fishing the West End quarry could get you arrested BTW, I know someone who was escorted out of there by the police. Allen

Did you try a wacky rigged senko through one of the holes? Allen

Getting warmer but I did drive over Liberty yesterday and it was frozen. Allen

I used the fiberglass resin to make a two piece mold of the Berkley 4" sink worm and it picked up all the detail. Allen

Interested in what you learned and any other pics you are willing to post. I was going to try and make some of these this weekend but my part B of the resin is no longer good. Allen

That looks like one of the BPS caterpillar baits? Allen

Try to find one where they care more about having fun than point standings. The one I am in now everyone is friendly and will help out new anglers. At least two tournaments a year I end up giving someone else in the club struggling some of the baits I have that are working. Some other clubs I have been backboated so bad I was just there to ballast the port side for runs. Allen

If you actually weigh that whole rig I bet it weighs more than 1/8oz? The same way a 3/8oz spinnerbait actually weighs more than a 1/2oz. Allen

Spawn in Maryland is somewhere between March and June depending on location. Allen

Look at the starflash skirts, all three of the lure making suppliers carry them as well as BPS. Allen

Replied to the other thread. Allen

I would say look for a local club that is accepting new members. Where do you live? Allen

The new Donkey Punch color, I just picked up a pack to try last week. Allen

Creature baits are what load the boat for me and there are a lot of good recommendations here. My opinion the two baits I rely on the most are the Zoom baby brush hog and the RI smallie beaver both in green pumkin. Now I will tell you I have yet to find a creature bait that didn't work but the two I mentioned have worked the best for me. The Yamamoto Kreature and full size brush hogs are great for larger bass I have found so I switch to them when trying to cull. Regular size RI beavers work but IMO they do not work any better than the smallie size and the smallie ones work a lot better pre-spawn for me. Flappin hogs work but since the re-design I find that the pinchers are ripped off to easily by panfish. The only other bait I would try would be the 4" Berkley power hawg, it is what I use in between the smallie beaver and baby brush hog. Allen

What do I like or what am I good at? Personally I really like to fish spinnerbaits but they are not the best that day most of the time. Now what I am good at is pitching creature baits to any visible cover. Creature baits in green pumkin have accounted for so many fish I carry about 20lbs worth in my boat. What I dislike is anything I have to use a spinning rod for and my least favorite of all is weightless worms like a senko. Now I try to be as versatile as any good bass angler so I will use whatever puts fish in the boat but man I dislike spinning rods. Allen

Does anyone here have one from Bob or Del that can pour me some worms? I am looking for some of the 4.8" worms in some custom colors. Allen

Are you going? I should be able to go Saturday. Allen

Ice storm today and we lost power for several hours. That groundhog needs to be shot! Allen

Jig for me! Tubes seem to hang way to easy and I am very good at fishing a jig. Last year I used exactly 2 tubes and one is still setting on my boat deck. Now I know they catch fish but just don't work very well for me. Allen

There are no 10hp restricted lakes in Maryland, all of ours are electric only if they are used as a water supply. I am fine with this for the most part but Black Hills Lake Seneca is a big windfest and will kill some TM batteries quick. What gets me is the exemptions that some people have? Rocky Gap has a pontoon boat they drive around and the dummy life guards about run into canoes or kayaks everytime I am there. Personally I would have no problem with those lakes being 6 mph zones like much of Mattawoman Creek on the lower Potomac. Allen
