Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Friday on the Potomac in DC.  The wall of mud was mid channel but gravelly looked great.  Main river zero visibility.  Looked for mulberry trees but the ones I thought would be good were not ripe yet?  When others are almost done?  No carp but found clear water in the annicostia and one other place and bailed striped bass almost every cast up to 22 inch.  Most about 18".  Good fun in the final hour.  There's still fishable water when the main river is brown poo!

Yesterday hit the bay bridge pilings.  Faught the worse traffic imaginable getting over Severn river.  Finally hit the water at 6pm. No current!! Thought tide chart showed strong incoming at 730?  Well at 730. It turned on.  Bailed mostly 17" fish on the pilings.   Found better grade of fish suspended on deeper pilings. Probably caught ten over 20", best 24".  Jigging 7 inch white zoom flukes on 3/4oz head did the trick.  The bite really came on at sunset.
