Skunk free!!

[3dkicker]

The Major called yesterday to ask if I wanted to fish. I said sure but needed to check work schedule. Turns out that I need to be in at 11am.....Sucks but I need the work! So we plan to meet this morning early at Quantico and launch from there. Only gave me a couple hours on the water but I'll take what I can get.
We launch and make a short run to a point. No current equals no fish. High tide...where next? We run into creek to a spring time bank with wood that holds fish. Muddy water, no tide, no fish. On to the next location. The Major hooks up with a dink on a crankbait and it's his first river fish of the year. I break out the Potomac Punisher and it's game on!!! I put a couple quality fish and a few shorties in the boat along the same bank. The Major makes a switch since he's not getting any love on the crankbait or trap.
We finish the bank and run to see what's up with the pads in the back. Not much happening and I shake off a shorty on a Hardcore. Time to move since I'm running out of time. We hit another bank with scattered wood with no success and the Major picks up the trolling motor....sure enough the best bass of the morning sucks in the Punisher. Trolling motor goes back down and we continue but no luck. Time's up I've got to go. The Major drops me off to go searching for grass in another creek.
Not too bad for a little over two hours of fishing 7 bass with best being in 3 lb range. Winter skunk is out of the boat.

Pics will be posted shortly.......
