Andy we are going to have to pound those mats with jigs to catch those LMBs we saw on the sonar that did not want to bite today.  I am on a mission to catch one on a jig next Sunday after I pull one or two in with my swim senkos.

Nice fish pops.  Now that the wedding stuff is done (minus the thank yous and unpacking) I'm pretty much back on the water... not in full force yet but working on it.  Can't wait to go out to the Potomac next weekend, should be fun.  Good job on the swim senkos as usual.  Hopefully we can fill up the live well next Sunday like we did last time out.  Later dad.

Jay, Steph and I will be going back to Mattawoman Creek tomorrow most likely our last trip to this location this year as I will be winterizing the boat in a couple of weeks.  I am hoping to catch an LMB on a crankbait for the first time, I bought some new ones last night and am looking forward to trying them out.  I will also use my swim senkos, my go to bait as well.  Hopefully tomorrow night I will be able to post some pictures of some good size LMBs in this thread.  It would be nice to finish up this year in Mattawoman Creek with a nice catch.  Jay, make sure you and Steph bring your A-Game so we can load up the live well.

I already have my day planned.  All the baits and times I'm going to throw them, depending on the situations and where we anchor or troll.  Think I got a pretty good game plan based off how and what we caught em' on last time.  Gonna try a few different things but hopefully we can get a good limit and finish up the season with a bang.  I'm excited!

What a tough day of fishing today at Mattawoman, 1-3 foot swells in the Potomac and 20 MPH winds. It was also low tide so the grass beds were everywhere.  I got skunked on my last boat launch of the year but at least Jason caught two fish, a perch and a pickeral.

Here is the second fish.
