Yeah you gotta stay to the right when coming back down in that stretch. I won't fish it unless Hancock gage reads 5. My boats a bit bigger than yours and I'm a bit conservative. Glad you didn't tear anything up.

Made it out yesterday. Levels were good. 5.0 feet on the Hancock gage. Went up from McCoys. Three of us put about 25 in the boat in 5 hours. Defiantly a slow bite for sure. Nothing hitting topwater. Strange for this time of the year.

Anybody got to spend anytime on the Potomac this year? Seems like just when it becomes fishable we get a bunch of rain and up it goes another 6-8 feet!

First time on the River since March. Put 56 Smallies and two cats in the boat. Mostly Dinks but a couple of legal keepers. Had hook ups on at least 50 more. Watermelon curly tail grubs was the hot bait of the day. Couldn't get bit on a small Rapala which is usually my go to bait for the Potomac...

Nice Fish. Have not hit the Potomac yet due to the levels but been fishing Raystown hard. White Bass are spawning up there, in the two days out put about 75 in the boat, mostly White, couple of Stripers and a mixed bag of everything else. Where you been going out of?

Terp- your current setup looks like mine and have had no issues with my HB Sidescan. I find it fairly useless in the Potomac but use it at Raystown quite a bit. Potomac is pretty hard on transducers. Just replaced mine last fall.

Rapala Husky Jerk, Bass pattern, I was throwing the smallest one, my buddy throwing one size bigger. He did better than I did. I've caught a lot of Smallies on that lure in the Potomac. I get a lot of hits from the dinks on a jig and rage craw but not the hook ups as even the smallest 1/8 oz jig...

Nice one Terp!

Finally had enough river to take the G3 up from McCoys Ferry. Put 17 in the boat in the morning. Largest 14". Water temp 62 degrees.

Put 20 Smallies, 10 Cats and a couple of sunfish in the boat today. Water temp 83 degrees. Largest small 16" and Cat 20" Good day on the water. Did manage to bust off the transducer to my Hummingbird. Arrgghhh. Action made up for it.

Out last night. Water temp 78 degrees. Put 20 in the boat. Largest 13" Water pretty stained but it didn't bother the bite. Rapala Husky jerk lure of choice.

River was finally down enough. Put 26 in the boat. All dink smallies with the largest being 12". Went out of McCoys and up toward Hancock. Good day on the river!.

Anyone recommend a minimum HP kicker motor for my Jet Jon? I have a G3 1860 CCJ and want to do some trolling on the lakes around here. Motor is a 90/65 Yamaha. Going to mount it on a kicker bracket on the transom. I have access to a 4.4 HP but am think that may not be enough. Any suggestions?

Man I gotta get up there someday soon.

Ha gotcha. Man I just was thinking I sucked. Gotta check out that river sometime.

**** dude. Your killing em. Launched from Landers Saturday and fished between Brunswick and POR. Had absolutely ZERO luck. Great habitat but not a bite with 3 of us fishing. Talk about frustrating.

Awesome fish man. Went out almost to Hancock yesterday. Couldn't find any Smallies thou. I lost a Muskie at the boat and my buddy landed this monster. 39.5" and 16 lbs. Net was way too small and had to grab him with the grippers. Best $10 bucks ever spent.

Nice Fish! Did you happen to take note of the water Temp? just curious.

Nice fish man!

Was out on Wed. Pulled a couple Smallies from above McCoys ferry. Nothing of any size. Beautiful night on the river though. Didn't want to push much further upstream due to the river levels. Would like to have about another foot of water and it would be game on!
