Hey bud hope all is well with you and your family! It's going good just been a little too busy to fish much and my little boat is still out of commission. But I've got another trip I need to edit where we got in to some decent flatheads at least. Hope you've been able to catch some flatties this year!

​@TheFlattyDaddies I went a couple times in May, did ok, nothing crazy. Been hitting the river with the kayak a lot chasing smallies. Been putting the hammer on them! Going back and forth with myself about fishing the aldred tournament this weekend. Think the spawn is probably on pretty good by now. I hate that that tournament always hits during spawn! Drop me a line if ya ever are heading out and want a partner man. Can't wait to see the flatty trip!

Hey thanks for watching, I'm glad you liked the video even though it didn't have any big fish. That beach spot was just up from Chapmen Point, which is below the Fort Washington area. I think it was surrounded by private property looking at Google maps. It's hard to find public land along the river, every thing is privately owned. I hope you do find a place though!

You are the FIRST PERSON TO EVER RESPOND TO MY QUESTION 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. When I check Google Earth, I see all sorts of nice spots, but no entry point 😢😢​@@TheFlattyDaddies

Hey its great to see you here! I wasmt able to fish for a while with work getting busy. But I have another trip I need to get edited and it was a good one.

Thanks man yeah they are definitely great reels I am loving them! I'm even starting to use them more than the Abus because they can hold more line and have more drag. Thanks for watching!

Hey thanks for watching my videos even though it's been a while since I put one out. I've been struggling to get out fishing lately, spring and fall just get busy at work for me. But I have a flathead trip I need to edit still that we did pretty good. I hope you've been able to get out fishing!

What river do you go for flatheads

Yeah I'm loving those reels! I need one more then I can have em on all 6 of my rods.

Hey man thanks for watching! That sucks about your reel! Did you try to return it, they were pretty good about the one I had that finally broke. I have had six and only had an issue with one but that was after 2 or 3 years of beating it up. Hopefully you have better luck with the 50, I picked one up for a lighter action rod and like it. Good luck and sorry to hear about your reel!

Hey man don't worry about the questions! Glad you are out there trying to learn this stuff. I put in at Marshall Hall Landing in MD, take my boat about 10 mins to Gunston Cove and catch the shad. You can also catch shad within 3 mins at Dogue Creek. Just have to look at the buoys and different maps (like Google Maps) to make sure you're in VA waters. You also need to have the VA gill net permit which is $9 but worth it. If you put in up at Gravely Point, that is VA waters but I've never tried gill netting up there. Should be able to catch shad there but I think Gunston Cove is your best bet, head back to the campground on the south side and look for 6ft of water. You'll catch em year round there.

@@TheFlattyDaddies Thanks for the help & advice!

Good to know! Can you fish weekdays? I usually fish Fridays unless I take a vacation day or the weather works out better during the week.

Thanks a lot man it really is the land of giants. People seem to overlook that river and go to the James but I think the Potomac holds it's own in giants. I had one of those wash down pumps but one of my boys broke the nozzle on it and I haven't replace it yet. And thank you for that, only a week left for his cast if all goes well.

Thank you so much! Glad you like the videos, even these long ones.

Thanks bud and yeah I couldn't believe how many hogs were biting. I caught them at the right time. You getting out fishing any time soon?

@TheFlattyDaddies I was hoping to get down there this weekend but with all this rain it's probably going to be sh*tty lol

Hey thanks a lot! And yeah I go over to the VA waters to use my gill net. It's the quickest and easiest way to catch shad down there. I'm terrible with a cast net.

Thanks, will do! I have enough for one more video. The weather has been pretty rough with all the wind lately. I'm going to get out the next time I can though.

You got that right! Thanks a lot for watching!

Thanks a lot for watching! I just started watching your stuff looks like you fish the same waters I do. Got your boys schooled up on fishing I see they know what they're doing! I'm just starting to get my kids in to fishing too it's a blast watching them catch those catfish.

Thanks for watching!

Haha yeah it is one of my favorites! I think it made that first giant bite. Can't wait to get on those flatheads!

Thanks man! Yeah not my favorite boat to fish out of but the extra room and stability is pretty nice. It cuts through chop so much better than my little boat. Man it is a pain to trailer around though.

Yeah man it is a lot to drive that big freakin boat around but at least there's plenty of room just gotta get used to fishing on it. Man that really sucks about your truck! That's the worst, having a boat but no way to tow it. Glad you were able to get it recovered, something tells me that doesn't happen too often. I've been up that way before and it can be really great fishing, but when I'm by myself I like to fish MD waters so that I can use more than 3 rods. It's a luxury I don't get to have in PA so I like to do that when I can. Good luck I hope they get your truck back soon!

Thanks man that thing had me worried there for a bit. I was glad to see it take off again.

Whoaaa that's a freakin monster dude! Congrats on that hog of a fish! And that's so strange, makes you wonder how that hook set is even possible. Thanks for watching!

Thank you and I will. Take care of yourself too and I hope you get on some fish soon!

I live in California, i am just one of the viewers on KZbin brother. I always share your videos.

Looks like you're digging deep in my videos, thanks for continuing to watch them all!

Hey man the ramp is at Marina Park in Port Deposit Maryland.

@@TheFlattyDaddies Thank you!!

Hey man thanks for watching! I like having all those rod holders so I can choose where I put my rod. The location of the rod can help keep the line where I want it if there's a lot of current. In PA we can only use 3 rods per person so it gives me lots of options. They do get in the way but for me it's worth the trade off.

Hey man thanks for watching! That's cool you fish that area too it's a great spot on the river. I think I know the area you're talking about there's a nice big hole there that has produced for me before. That has to be tough bank fishing there when that current is flowing so hard. If you see me putting in ever and I don't have any one with me say hi and I'll take you out with me. Plenty of room on that boat. If nothing else it'll show you the depths along the bank where you fish.

I never really thought about that, but I guess most of my spots are closer to the MD side. I have fished the VA side but I have more luck on the eastern shore. I think it's because the channel tends to be on that side more and I like to fish the channel ledges. But there's plenty of spots on the VA side of the channel that work well too. Thanks for watching!

Yeah it's always a tough decision whether to move or not, especially when they're biting. But the KZbin videos don't show the down time either. I just know when they are on like that, whenever the bite slows down and I move to another spot I get slammed again. And I try to switch up the spots and scenery for the people watching, even if in that area it doesn't look all that different. Thanks for watching! And yeah I was pretty tired after that trip lol

Man I'm just really lucky to have two rivers within driving distance that hold so many blue cats. I couldn't catch flatheads last year to save my life though lol. Thank you for watching! I hope you can get a boat soon, even if it's just a jon boat with a 9.9 motor. As long as it runs and floats it's all you need in most situations. I got that pontoon because my family wanted to get out with me and we needed the space, but it's definitely more than I need. Good luck out there!

I've been using the ramp at Marina Park this year since the Port Deposit ramp went to only yearly passes and it's $100 for out of staters. The Marina Park is $10 a day and is very close to where I like to fish. They also do a great job at keeping it open and clean. Good luck out there!

I have a saying too, if I drive really far to catch my fish I want the best chance to catch as many as possible. Which leads to me fishing with 6 rods if they allow it. In PA we're only allowed 3 rods so I stick to that and still enjoy fishing, but when I'm down in MD tidal waters fishing for those blues I love maximizing my fish catching opportunities. It gets chaotic at times but it keeps me super busy and off my phone, completely absorbed in fishing. But everyone fishes differently and there's nothing wrong with that as long as it's legal. Thanks for watching!

@@TheFlattyDaddiesDude I was just teasing, I know how it works. Peace and blessings.

From everything I’ve read in the laws and from the wardens is 3 rods per person, only exception is trolling in march in the bay.

Hey man thanks a lot, it was good to get a video out again. I was dragging my feet editing for some reason, but I've got another one almost done and there's some bruisers in it. When they are schooled up like that in the winter they are definitely thicker than the Potomac, I've had good action on it but nothing compared to when the Susky is hot.

Thanks a lot bud! I hope you can get down there soon, I think these warmer temps and the rain will have them fired up.

Yeah there's definitely something to that. I never put enough attention to it before but now that I think back on my blue catfishing I do get a lot of doubles and triples. I bet that was nuts having four rods get hit while drifting, it's bad enough anchored. I hope you have that happen again!

Man glad you liked it bud! I know it was longer I wasn't sure how people would like a video of mine that long but looks like it isn't too bad. Thanks for always being here watching I really appreciate it!
