To answer your question, Steve...Aaron, Matt, and I each had a fish that were close to those fish but we didn't weigh them individually. I think they were around the 2lb range.

I have to believe that a fish is a fish is a fish, but I don't think anything we caught yesterday was really picture worthy.

Agreed, but I still wish we had pictures of the three boats fishing or people at the weigh-in to post in the thread.

Yes, a group photo suitable for Christmas cards would have been nice!!!  Common Dan, as group historian you should have been all over that!!

Well you all didn't slay em but sounds like it was a fun time.  By this point in the season I'm happy even being able to get out, catching fish is an added bonus.  We will have to organize one in the early spring sometime.  Or on Lake Anna hotside as 420 mentioned.  Thatd be sick.  I'll be home for Christmas break mid Dec to mid Jan so maybe something then.  We had a so-so day on the Bay yesterday.  Slower than I thought but it was good to be on the water and we had a nice day for it as well.  Ended up with 7, one short of our limit.  Here's the two biggest of the day, maybe a bit over 2 lbs   ;D

Josh, I didn't see a wallet. Have you called the park offices? Someone might have turned it in.

ahahaha, I'll be sure to bring my camera, tripod, and backdrop next time!

I have lost a few things when out on the water. Hopefully the wallet turns up. Hope u didnt have too much cash in there.

sweet, then we can start calling you " DANsal Adams"

Damnit.

Thanks, Dan. I called with no luck. I stopped by my office after fishing, it could be there. No idea. This sucks.

And steve, I didn't have much cash, maybe $10. Am I missing out on the avatar name thing? Do I need to change it to my first name to with the "in" croud?

Rather than give an extensive reason behind why it's the in thing to have your displayed name your actual name I'll just leave it at

YES

Even better when your the only one on here instead of having to use hyphens, underscore, periods, comma, etc...

signed, the on and only "Thai" on BR!

ya know I thought for a moment of changin my display name to Potomac Angler just to mess with everyone but then thought better of it. Could have made for some fun/confusion. I'll stick with being one of many steve's on here. I tried a few and had to settle for the gayish underscores. And when Im ready I'll find something else more interesting to call myself.

Hey Josh sorry to hear about your wallett! My boat is in storage in Damascus but I will be using her again on Friday and I will see if you might have left it onboard, I will also check my car as it may have fallen out when you drove the trailer out of the water.

Saturday was a great time and it would have been a lot better if the fish cooperated. I had a monster blue catfish kick my butt for 5-10 minutes only to finally break my 6lb line at the boat, that dropshot rod broke a few casts later while trying to free a snag and I think it was a result of the 40lb catfish wearing it out. We had several short fish and lost a lot more. I was surprised at the amount of grass that is still looking good in Occoquan, if I were to go fish a tournament there today I would focus on that grass with soft plastics.

To Chris and Josh I apologize for not getting us on fish. We focused too long on docks and didn't hit up some of my other spots out closer to the mouth. The spots we fished were better spots in the winter and early spring, I should have realized that the water was not quite cold enough to push those fish on bridge pilings. Well there is always next time!

When is the Potomac Fish Off v2.0?

that is sick vabasser! well done man. we still need to trade spots on the river...

Dude I know, we need to try and get out this upcoming season.  I've been doing some thinking about the spawn/spring on the Potomac.  Alot of the spots I started fishing mid-summer seem like they'd be great spots when the big girls are up shallow so I'm pretty stoked to see if thats true.  Are you going to do any fishing over winter?

i try to get out at least once a week. let me know if your ever down.

lol where was it
