August 10th Double Report

[Captmikestarrett]

Walk on trip tonight and my same name on the boat streak ends at two in a row. One guy on his third trip and one on his first. They did discover however that they grew up in the same area and both graduated from the same high school, twenty one years apart. We missed some and we caught some. No Potomac Pike but, the largemouth have been nice chunks and these didn't disappoint. Always cool when two strangers share a boat and fish well together. Thanks guys.

Today I had the more seasoned anglers on board. I am sure as I passed by miles of fishy looking spots they wondered if they would hear banjo's soon. As we headed back (way back) on the fast incoming tide we started with hollow body frogs and found some nice fish. Lost a big Potomac Pike over a log as we tried to haul it over. Great crew and good fisherman on board makes for nice trip.

What kind of weed is that long staulk then arrowhead-arrowhead grass?Water celery?
Whatever it is its nice with open spots inbetween.

[Captmikestarrett]

Pickerel grass and the tall 5 foot stalks are rice weed. If you look carefully you will see the spaterdock pads under the water..supermoon equals 2.3 feet extra of water.

Add that it happened right in golden hour and you have some good fishing way back.

Nice I had assumed wrongly that tide had come in and below the water line,with the super moon higher than normal.
