Keith Poche’s Potomac River Winning Secrets: Shallow Water, Tidal Bass & Tiny Boat Tactics
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On this episode of Fishing the DMV, we sit down with professional bass angler Keith Poche to break down his Potomac River Toyota Series win and the shallow-water strategy that helped him beat the field.
Keith explains how he used his custom Gator Trax aluminum boat to access hard-to-reach tidal creeks, beaver dams, grass flats, pad fields, and backwater areas most bass boats cannot reach. We talk through his tournament decisions, including his day-one Neabsco Creek pattern, surprise big bites near a sewer outflow, his day-two run toward Washington, D.C., and the final-day creek that helped him close out the win.
This episode is packed with Potomac River bass fishing strategy, tidal bass fishing tips, frog fishing, shallow-water tournament tactics, fish management, high-tide feeding windows, and Keith’s approach to staying confident in his own style instead of following the crowd.
Keith also compares the Potomac River to the James River, talks Gator Trax boats, and explains why simple baits like a frog, shaky head, Pit Boss, and Berkley General still catch big bass in 2026.
