I love fishing the Potomac. I just don't get down there enough. I live 15-20 mins from the Flats, just too easy to fish right here. But we always go down the Potomac for a week in the spring....Always a highlight of our fishing year.

Well, I fished my first everstart. At age 67 I put this tournament on my bucket list. I set a goal to finish in the top 20. Normally they pay 20 places. I accomplished my goal but missed a check by 1.92 lbs. They did not pay 20 places in this tournament due to a smaller field. I would like to have day one over again. Tournament fishing is all about making the right decisions. I made a bad decision on thursday that cost me dearly. Friday I made a good decision and came in with a good bag considering the conditions. I do not regret fishing this tournament at all. I had a great time and enjoyed every minute of it. FLW is a very well run company. Everyone working that tournament were the best people you would ever want to meet. If FLW ever comes back to the upper bay I will be fishing.
Was out for a few days this week and went to the weigh in on thursday.
My three days were not all that fishing wise. Was as tough for me as it seemed to be for a lot of guys I saw on stage.
Tuesday and wednesday, I talked with a handful of guys who'd been out practicing and they were all scratching their heads.
I managed a at least a limit both of those days, but was scratching my head a bit too.
Fishing on thursday, i caught a 5.7 anchor, and my best five would have gone between 16 and 17lbs.
Was not the norm of the week, and that definitely wouldn't have happened if I was in the tournament. lol.
The highlight of my time down there, of course, was meeting RiverratMd and Uncle Jesse.
N2bassn, great job with the day 2 comeback and a strong finish.
Would have loved to see you or Booker take home the bacon in this one.

n2bassn - So Close! You know the ol' sayin "If I only knew then, what I know now" It's bitten me many a time too! Good finish, thanks for posting about the experience
Glad I came up Thursday and was able to put a handshake on some fine Upper Bay Fishermen! A lot of class acts on the upper bay. I gotta club tourny tomorrow, so hopefully I snag a couple myself!
Congrats to all the top 10 of the Everstart 2013 tourny, both anglers & co-anglers.

Anyone wanna buy a boat got a 117 ranger for sale
May be good to post a separate thread...You may get more looks. Also, the BBC boats for sale section is great for selling boats. But no matter how, good luck with your sale.![]()
