Road To The Super Bowl 2023
As a Ravens fan, I’m still ticked about what they did to Ray Rice. Quarterbacks are $pecial. KMA.

What Was Your Favorite One On Saturday Morning?
S I never cruised in town. I spent alot of time in the watershed between Gambrill and Mountaindale. Go Ravens and Orioles - I’m a diehard - God I loved the Colts.

Lefty Kreh? You wouldn’t happen to be from Frederick would you? I grew up there.

What Was Your Favorite One On Saturday Morning?
Denny Brauer had a show in the late ‘90s. I think it was called Bass University. I could listen to Denny all day and he was my favorite Pro back then.

Dobyns Xtasy DRX724c for spinnerbaits?
I have a Kaden 714, Sierra 734, and a Champ XP 734, and I throw spinnerbaits and bladed jigs with all of them. The Dobyns 4 power can do so many things. That said - call Dobyns. 1 (903) 919-8028 You can talk to a human. They’re the experts on their rods and are very helpful.

Dobyns or Ark... Finesse casting rod any advise
Dobyns gives a 30% military discount. I’m retired Navy so it’s a no-brainer for me. Just give them a call.

Hook for Flukes
Weightless on 5/0 EWG with a treble hook tied to main eyelet and lightly buried in the tail. I saw it on a Randy Blauket video. I’ve been throwing a super fluke for years and decided to try it. The treble hook caught several fish that I likely would have missed.

Need Info On 16’ Xpress Alumaweld
My brother had one when he lived on the Potomac near Hagerstown. I loved that boat and expect you’ll be happy with yours. He had a jet motor and we used to fish in 18” of water. Perfect boat for the conditions. I’m envious.

Good reel for older person just starting getting into baitcasters
If he’s used spinning gear for his whole life, and is used to reeling with his left hand, I’d suggest a left handed baitcaster. Lot of good reels in your price range.

Dobyns Rods - Which Rods to get for a variety of different techniques?
If I could only use one rod it would be the XP734C. I throw chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, weightless flukes, T-rigs, jigs……… If you dig a little, you’ll find a “general” consensus that whether it’s the Fury, Sierra, or Champ XP series, the 734 is the most popular “all-around.” I have 8 Dobyns rods and my next rods will be 2 more Dobyns Champ XP 734s.

4in Berkley power worm
My brother used to buy black with chartreuse tails by the hundred. I’ve caught hundreds of smallies on the Potomac with them. Fishing doesn’t have to be complicated.

Anyone start using a left-handed baitcaster after years of using righties?
Cranked spinning reels with my left hand for 30 years and then bought a right handed baitcaster. I couldn’t get used to it and bought a left handed baitcaster. Sold the right handed baitcaster and never looked back. That was 20 years ago and now I have 2 spinning setups and a dozen baitcasters. Holding the rod in my left hand will never work for me.
