Potomac report

Captmikestarrett · 05-21-07, 10:16 AM

High skys and 30 mph winds kept my fishing to the backwaters. But did manage 9 fish with 6 landed. The 3 or 4 lbs ers all got off at boat. Wimpy hooksets was the main reason for the loss of fish.

All where on Wacko worms in blue fleck and inches from creek edges. None in the pads and a few on wood. Water temp was 61.8 to 63.8 from back to front. Kinda backwards for this time of the year. Normally it is warmer the farther you go back up the creek. But it has been a odd spring here in MD.

Off for three weeks of fun fishing. Plan to fish lower bay CBBT for blacks and reds and then off to West VA and WAY upper Potomac for smallies and trout on the fly.

After that, it is down to Glocester VA for some pickles and LGMouth.

Then back to guiding the backwaters evenings only till summer ends.

Big plans and I have a weatherman on the payroll to insure good weather.

Water temps were in the mid 70's and the bass were on the feed today. Anywhere you found bait fish you found feeding bass. Grassbeds??? You betcha!! Pad fields????? Oh yes!! Spatterdock too??? Even better!!

Caught fish on Senko's, Creature baits, Horny Toads and Logger Toads, Fat CB 2 (Big Daddy!), 1/4 oz Hot Lips spinnerbait, and Zoom Trick worms and Super Flukes.

Only got one bass pic today but "Spot" was a good fish and was one of many. The Fat CB caught the big fish of the day that was in the 3.5 to 4lb range.

My buddy caught this gar on a creature bait.
