Summer smallmouth action

[camelbird]

17" chunk on a campground teaser, KP series, on an 1/8oz owner tube jig in about 8ft of water, super slow lifts off the bottom, caught at 12:30pm....was a bit toasty by then

FYI....for those of you curious about upper potomac smallmouth fishing you need to check out Ken Penrod's books - http://www.penrodsguides.com/books.htm

Just out of curiosity, where abouts were you? Outstanding catch by the way.

Thanks, this one was from river bend. But great fishing spots all the way up the potomac

Nice one !! Fished that section for the first time last month. How was the grass ? Drove down to the river expecting to see grass everywhere like last year . Didn't see any , at least not on the surface.

That Riverbend stretch is nice. I like to fish from Swains Lock across the river not to far from Riverbend. Some day I'm going to try somewhere inside I495 bridge around Lock 8 or so. Never tried down that way.

Grass is almost nonexistent compared to last year. Tubes and crawfish patterns seem to be a lot more productive this year compared to last years weightless flukes around the grass
