Kellogg’s team pro Dave Lefebre provides an inside look at the latest FLW Tour Major in National Harbor, Md.
The Potomac River is one of my absolute favorite locations to fish on Earth. It's a venue where I swear I’ll never do the same thing twice, or even use the same primary techniques or baits, and I suppose that’s why I like it so much … it’s always a clean slate.

We just wrapped up the third FLW Tour Major on Beaver Lake and it looks like I’m back to my old Beaver Lake ways. I’m having difficulty dealing with my 63rd place finish after the insanely good practice I had this year.

Virginia angler claims fourth tour win on Beaver Lake
ROGERS, Ark. – As a rule of thumb, it is never wise to count David Dudley out of any professional bass fishing tournament. At noon Sunday, Dudley only had three average Beaver Lake bass in his livewell. Reports of big stringers from Andy Morgan, Luke Clausen and Scott Canterbury made Dudley’s fortunes look bleak. Just when he was about to retreat to one of his spotted bass schools, it clicked. And then it was vintage fourth-quarter Dudley.

ROGERS, Ark. – History says weights are supposed to fall during multi-day bass tournaments, especially on impoundments like Beaver Lake. History also says that fishing up the river can work for a day or so, but ultimately never holds up. Scott Canterbury is defying history at the third Walmart FLW Tour Major of the season thanks in part to the hottest innovation in bass fishing – the umbrella rig.
