Well it’s that time of the year, the hot dog days of summer! The Potomac River is an amazing bass factory but every year around this time this place seems to get brutally tough! That was no exception the week of the FLW Costa. I was expecting a tough bite and was mentally prepared for the tough practice days that are to follow!
Normally this time of year it should take about 15 pounds per day to be close to the top of the leaderboard. Just like the Chesapeake Bay we had a bad year for grass and the lack of Milfoil was the main reason the fishing was so tough. Heard structure that got beat up and matts of nasty Hydrilla is what we had to face this time around.
It was a tough practice but I was able to figure a few things out and actually by mid week was feeling really good about what I got on. I am excited going into day 1 and feel I can certainly have a shot at my first win on the Opens side. A lot is going to have to come together so we shall see! Enjoy the Video!
