Ive been reading alot about swimbaits recently and i see the sucess people on here have for example-FishChris haha and i was wondering if they would work in MD were the Bass aren't nearly as big as they are in places like CA. If anyone could help or give me some tips on how to start using swimbaits It would be greatly appriciated .

                        Thanks Big B  

I just started using them a few weeks ago but have yet to hook a LMB on one.  I will keep trying, I am sure my luck is about to change.  My boss has really good luck with them in the Potomac, he uses the swimbait in the link below.  I just bought some yesterday and have only tried them twice.  I will try them this weekend in the Occoquan and the Potomac rivers.

I will let you know when I get back Saturday evening.  I am also goig to fish for long-nosed gar, they have been schooling over near the Fairfax Yacht Club in Belmont Bay.  I have seen some trophy sizes ones there the last couple of weekends.  My largest so far is 31 inches and it weighed 8lbs.  I want to catch a 40 inch one or bigger so I can get a citation/award from VDGIF (Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.  I have definately seen some that big last week but they are real hard to catch.  I am going to make a rope lure to use, once they bite it their teeth get stuck in it.  They are all teeth and they fight better than any fish I have ever caught.

Never fished for those..Have you had any luck on the Potomac Recently?

Try the Huddlesston shad,they actually work for normal size to large fish.Just fish them slow,a great starter swimbait.

Thanks you got a link to were i can pick some of those up??
