That's the route I will be taking. Do you have a onboard charger?If going lifep04 all you need is a single 36v 55ah or 60ah battery. Same size as a group 31. I've run it all day on the river and still had 65% capacity at the end of the day.
I have a minn kota digital to charge the starting batteries and I picked up a 36v golf cart charger for the lifepo4 but it doesn't stay onboard. Hard to find a true onboard charger for 36vThat's the route I will be taking. Do you have a onboard charger?

Loch Raven is really good fishing in the spring time. One of my favorite places to fish. I always rent a boat and make a day of it. Nice fish.I just got back from loch raven for the first time out this year. I got one largemouth after being there for about 3 minutes. Only fish of the day, but it was nice to get out.

Thanks. I rent boats sometimes, but mostly fish from the bank like today as it's on my way home from work. I don't think the fishing center opens until early April to rent boats.Loch Raven is really good fishing in the spring time. One of my favorite places to fish.

Can you launch a kayak anytime?Thanks. I rent boats sometimes, but mostly fish from the bank like today as it's on my way home from work. I don't think the fishing center opens until early April to rent boats.

No.Can you launch a kayak anytime?
Did you stay in the 'lake' area or run up river? Try any hair jigs and pigs?We hit the four locks stretch of the upper potomac today. It's still up quite a bit and flowing strong. Lots of debris in the water. We didn't manage to boat a single fish ( I lost a dink smallmouth on a jerkbait at the boat) was very nice to be out though and dust some cobwebs off the gear.
Mostly upriver ..no hair jigs I didn't have any heavy enough even in the Eddie's behind the cliffs. Mostly threw a 1/2oz jig with rage craw and a pointer 100 all day. The area closer to dam had enough floating debris it looked like you could walk across. The river really needs another couple days to settle down and get all the debris cleared out after this weekends rain. Word of caution if anybody hits the upper potomac soon the ramps are caked in mud plan accordingly.Did you stay in the 'lake' area or run up river? Try any hair jigs and pigs?
I hit PoR yesterday to try out some gear. That ramp was fine...just a few spots of mud. There is a local guy there that cleans it up sometimes, so that helps. Water is still high/muddy. I threw a chatterbait about 20 times and a grub about 10 times...nothing doing. Had the dogs with me so I couldn't really FISH fish. A guy at the ramp said he was out all day Wednesday and got nothing, so I didn't feel too bad about not fishing harder.Mostly upriver ..no hair jigs I didn't have any heavy enough even in the Eddie's behind the cliffs.

Rationing the natural resources, just like out west.You need a permit for Loch Raven and they limited the amount this year to a much smaller number. It’s already been sold out for a few weeks.
