Finally was able to put a couple of fish in the G3 on a afterwork trip on the Potomac. Buddy got a nice Walleye and I got a Smallie. Great night to be out.

Walleye was on a Rapala, got the smallie on a jig and rage tail craw. Hopefully the river will be down enough next week to get out.

Between 2 of us we boated 4. Nothing huge, but I missed a pig first thing this morning on a jump. Didn't care though cause it was nice to finally have some action. Buddy also landed 2 perch.

Good to hear the Smallie bite may be heating up.

Water temp 68 degrees tonight. Got out for 3 hrs. 6 Smallies 5 or so Cats and some suckers. Not a bad night. Word of caution I would avoid running up the Conocheague to the dam. Ran the G3 up on a shallow gravel bar and had to push it off. Impeller is a little worse for wear but nobody got hurt. Wouldn't even consider it in the summer. Good time had by all.

There are 2 pretty hairy spots up past McCoy's Ferry, but if you pick your lines good all is well. Did you have any issues with the water level? The shallowest I've been up that way was 3.45' in Hancock. Made it to Licking Creek without a problem, but coming back down it's harder for me to pick my lines and I ended up giving up. Was so shallow had to get out and drag the boat across a few of the riffles. I'm guessing not much shallower than 3.45' will be my limit for getting past McCoy's Ferry.
Up that way is where I imploded my impeller. Small cove on the MD side up past the old railroad bridge. You may have seen it? STAY AWAY!!! Got all my parts in and got everything back together yesterday. Going to take her down to river bottom and see how the new foot and stainless impeller does.
