First Backwater Report

Captmikestarrett · 05-12-12, 10:50 PM

Today was tough day for Potomac Pike fishing. About three hours into todays trip after four short strikes I knew we had to switch gears. I did not have my trusty push pole and the tide was falling fast so I almost burned my trolling batteries getting out from the way back areas.
The main creek had dropped temp 4 degrees and was dirty..not a good sign..Moved again to a non direct feeder creek to find clear water. Bingo about a dozen LGMouth boated on pop-R's
And few on a baby one.
It was good to fish again with clients from 19 years now..

Ribs and chicken are superb still.
