Potomac River Report from Last Week!

[Gunny BBS]

Well I spent the entire week before Easter on the Potomac River, and man let me tell you I don't know when the river has been this healthy!!!! 3 and 4 pounders were the norm!!! I must have boated well over 150 fish and only about 3 or 4 that would not measure 15 inches, and everyone was a green football!!! 15 inch fished would weight 3lbs!! My 2 best were just over 6lbs, but lost count of the number of 4's and 5's that I caught. From the very back of Mattowoman creek to Auqa Po beach area the pattern was the same, sand or gravel banks close to the channel in less then a foot of water at high tide. Cover water with either a Red Trap, or a White/Chart Chatterbait!! Bigger fish were coming on the chatterbait. I also pitched a black/blue jig to any and all wood I went by and picked up several good fish that way too. One would have thought that as the weather turn from awesome to absolutly miserable last week that the fish would move back out!! Well one would think......they DID NOT!!! From Thursday in 45 mph gust thru Saturday the fish were still up shallow on the same pattern, you just had to slow way down!! Several fish were on the bed, by the wore out tails and belly fins!! Here are a few pics.

So Kevin, when ever you ready to quite fishin up north and come down here and put some weight in the boat let me know!! We had a 20 plus sack every day!!!
