No to FFS!
Great video; congrats on your tournament. I fish Big Slackwater a few times a year so this was great!
I had to take a break from fishing nearly 10 years ago due to kids, travel sports and work demands. I use to fish the lower Potomac and upper Chesapeake 2-3 times a week but family life had to come first. My life is finally starting to free up now that my kids are in college. I still own a 2004 Champion 198 Elite and am looking for new water to try that is somewhat close (within 2 hours) of my house and safe for a fiberglass bass boat. I can trade custom maps, waypoints, safe navigation trails for the lower Potomac and Upper Bay for some solid information about Slack Water. Through the years of fishing Maryland waters I became friends with a guy that use to drive a camera boat for BASS and FLW and he provided me with a wealth of information about the Potomac. I have some custom Satellite maps of areas that hold fish consistently on the upper Chesapeake and went out with guides to learn safe navigation trials in and out of the creeks along the upper Chesapeake and the entire lower Potomac from DC south. I have all of this information on my server and just need to dig it up. The maps are in PDF format and the waypoints and trails are in Lowrance Format. The BASS and FLW camera boat data is also in Lowrance Format. Ping me if interested……. We can take this offline and talk over Email.
Great video. I think alot of catfish have been taking away the bass in that area
i waded below dam 4 for the first time 2 days ago didnt catch anything but it was such a cool experience!
Thanks Thomas! Interesting!
