On this episode of Fishing the DMV, I sit down with the owner of MX Plugs—a custom lure maker with an incredible backstory and a serious passion for innovation. It all started with a broken plug he found lakeside. No hooks, no hardware—just potential. After cutting it in half, reshaping it, adding rattles and new hardware, he crafted a plug that actually caught fish. That spark of creativity launched a journey that took him from offshore shark and tuna charters to the creeks and bays of Long Island, chasing striped bass. Over the years, he's honed his craft designing lures for everything from tuna and dolphin to freshwater bass, eventually leading him to start his own company, MX Plugs. Tune in as we dive into the art, science, and inspiration behind his one-of-a-kind creations.Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!! https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast Fishing the DMV now has a website: https://www.fishingthedmv.com/  If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.com  MX Plugs website: https://www.mxplugs.com/ MX Plugs on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MxPlugs/ Email him at: mxplugs@frontier.com Or give him a call at: 1 516-449-1077  Please checkout our Patreon Sponsors Jake's bait & Tackle website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/   Catoctin Creek Custom Rods: https://www.facebook.com/CatoctinCreekCustomRods   Tiger Crankbaits on Facebook!! https://www.facebook.com/tigercrankbaits Fishing the DMV Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Arensbassin/?ref=pages_you_manage Fishing the DMV Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/fishingthedmv/?utm_medium=copy_link   #bassfishing #fishingtheDMV #fishingtips Support the show

On this Throwback Friday episode of Fishing the DMV, we revisit an impactful conversation with Jeff Kelble and John Odenkirk. Together, we dive into the challenges facing the Shenandoah River and explore the often-overlooked work that happens behind the scenes when a fishery begins to decline.Jeff Kelble brings a wealth of experience to the table. After guiding on the Shenandoah for over six years, he became the Shenandoah Riverkeeper in 2006 when he noticed the river's health deteriorating. In this role, Jeff built strong coalitions of river users, local businesses, government officials, and legal advocates. Through strategic litigation, regulatory reform, and community organizing, he played a key role in addressing dozens of complex pollution issues that once threatened public access and enjoyment of the river.Jeff's success in the Shenandoah led him to serve as President of the Potomac Riverkeeper Network, where he continued defending and restoring our Nation's rivers for another eight years. Today, he runs Ashby Gap Adventures, still deeply connected to the outdoors he works so hard to protect.As anglers, it's easy to focus solely on the catch—but it's just as important to recognize the people working behind the scenes to safeguard these waters for future generations.

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, we're diving into one of Maryland's most underrated yet powerhouse fisheries—the Conowingo Reservoir—with none other than MAKBF Champion Mickey Pfortsch. Last year, Mickey took the title with over 95 inches of fish, and this year, he did it again with 89.75 inches—proving this place is no fluke!Now, ask most anglers what the largest freshwater impoundment in Maryland is, and they'll probably say Deep Creek Lake. But here's a fun fact: Conowingo Reservoir actually spans over 5,000 acres along the mighty Susquehanna River, making it a true angler's paradise.From hard-fighting smallmouth that crush crankbaits on rocky points, to trophy largemouth lurking in submerged timber and grass, Conowingo offers a smorgasbord of bass fishing opportunities. And if panfish are your thing? Get ready for monster bluegill, crappie, and a whole cast of overlooked heavy hitters.So grab your gear and join us as we break down Mickey's tournament-winning tactics, talk kayak fishing strategy, and explore what makes this hidden gem one of the best bass fisheries in the Mid-Atlantic.    Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!! https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast Fishing the DMV now has a website: https://www.fishingthedmv.com/  If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.com  MAKBF website: https://www.makbf.com/series-info MAKBF on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MAKBFS/  Please checkout our Patreon Sponsors Jake's bait & Tackle website:                                  http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/   Catoctin Creek Custom Rods: https://www.facebook.com/CatoctinCreekCustomRods  Tiger Crankbaits on Facebook!! https://www.facebook.com/tigercrankbaits Fishing the DMV Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Arensbassin/?ref=pages_you_manage Fishing the DMV Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/fishingthedmv/?utm_medium=copy_link   #bassfishing #fishingtheDMV #fishingtips Support the show

On this episode of Fishing the DMV, we sit down with Doug Roberts Jr., owner of FishNFX Rods, to dive into his lifelong passion for fishing and craftsmanship. Doug shares how his love for the sport began with his grandfather, preparing tackle the night before every trip—making sure rods were clean, lines were strong, and hooks were razor-sharp. The process of getting everything just right became just as thrilling as the fishing itself. At age 10, he discovered the joy of tying flies, further fueling his obsession with precision. But as he grew older, simply choosing spots and crafting tackle wasn't enough. That passion evolved into building custom rods, pushing the boundaries of performance and design. Join us as Doug takes us through his journey of dedication, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of the perfect fishing experience.Viewers get 10% off their orders to FishNFX Rods!
