Tidal Potomac 2/28/18 Lots of pictures.
I got up early and took the square stern canoe to a local hole. Water was stained, but not as dirty as I thought it would be. Decided to hit a shallow flat first and caught 3 on a chatterbait.
After that bite died down I went to spot #2. Caught 2 on a tube and a fat 18"er on a swim jig. I tried to take a picture on the hog trough, but she was not having it (3pics).
Then I moved and caught them on a chatterbait, tube , crankbait, swimjig and swimbait on an underspin head. The fish were clustered and were biting off and on all day.
It was a long day and tough fighting the wind. I caught 20 LM all together and lost a couple more. The only 2 I measured were the biggest, both chunky 18"ers. The bite is turning on!

Very impressive! I'm surprised they were up shallow already. Wonder if the recent weather sent them back down.

Re: Tidal Potomac 2/28/18 Lots of pictures.
I am sure John will respond but this is an area where the water can be a bit warmer than in other areas.....

Re: Tidal Potomac 2/28/18 Lots of pictures.
Major influx of pre-spawn fish in areas influenced by warm water. Will be going back Saturday with George. I have fished here since 1978.
