New Item! Potomac River - Bass Tournament Tactics Book - Written by Joe Gioffre and published by Potomac Media. Many fishermen with 25 years of experience on the Potomac can win tournaments and catch fish, but few have logged their fishing trips as meticulously as Joe Gioffre. Still fewer have the ability to put their life's fishing experience into such a well written and well made book. This large 114 page full color book contains 225 color photos and graphics and over 100 GPS coordinates. The book explains not just where to catch fish, but why they are there and at what time of the year. Joe has combined his knowledge with that of other great Potomac River anglers to bring you proven fish catching information and secrets. Others have asked for them but Joe has kept them secret - UNTIL NOW!

Fishing Reports

Submitted Nov 17, 2008 by Reel Bass Adventures:

"We are experiencing a variety of patterns on the river that coincide with changing weather patterns. On high pressure days we do well along the main river by fishing rocky or gravel points that have some wood or other hard cover. Medium running to deep running crank baits, depending on the tide, draw strikes from quality bass as well as some juvenile stripers. Following up with a Manns Sting Ray grub produces additional bass. On cloudy or warmer days, we have had success along waning grass beds where we observe bait fish activity. Hard or soft jerk baits, shallow running crank baits or plastic worms do well. Our most productive bait in these areas has been the Berkleys four inch pulse worm in blue fleck color. Creek ledges with water at least seven feet deep adjacent continue to give up a mixed bag of bass, jumbo yellow perch and an occasional large white perch on the Manns two inch grub. We rig these on an exposed hook, 1/4 ounce ball head jig and coat our baits with Smelly Jelly fish attractant."

Water Temperature: 52 degrees; Water clarity: 2 feet plus.
