potomac grass help!

Featured Replies

I'm gonna be fishing the potomac out of aquia landing and need some advice. I'm gonna be fishing the weed beds but its in shallow water. Maybe 4', what should I throw? I talked to some guy out there and said he catches about 10-12 per trip.

Im havin luck with senkos and buzzbaits early. Im headed out tommorow at 5:45 and throwing nothing but frogs and senkos. Good luck.

I fish out of aquia a lot also, I have found that buzzbaits, 4'' senko, and baby 1-minus fished right about the tops of grass work well. Good luck.

went out yesterday and caught 14 bass on nothing but 5 inch senkos texas rigged. My buddy caught 15 and my "female friend" caught about 7 or 8. We also lost about 10 between the 3 of us due to bad hooksets and/or bad luck  :-[ We had a few between 3-4 pounds and most of the rest were around 1-2 pounds. So ya , them bass are slammin senkos right now. I wouldnt bother with 4 inch tho, they dont have the same kinda action under the water as a 5 inch plus you can use a bigger hook with the 5 inch and 5 inch are heavier which means they penetrate the grass better and cast further. Good luck

were you guys out at aquia landing? i saw multiple bass boats fishing the grass lines, and one boat had three people in it. i was on the shore, and only had about 30 minutes to fish. i missed 2 fish- quite a few bites.

nah we were fishing a grassbed out in fort washington. Launched out of leesylvania and took the boat up river about 30 minute ride. Was my first time goin up river and wow the fishing up there was amazing. But even where u are its still great and u catch em on the same kinda stuff more or less. We stayed in the same area for 5 hours or so and never left that spot, it paid off. You should get up river some and get a taste for yourself. Dark color senkos with black, blue, smoke and red were what we caught most of em on. Light colors werent workin at all.
