Pacemaker Fishing Forum

George took the day off and we hit our spot on the Lower Potomac.  One other boat on the water.  Little showers off and on.  We fished from about 7:20am until almost 3:00pm.  Fish were not easy to find.  I caught my first LM to get the skunk out, but nothing special.  George struck next and WOW, what a fight!  The fish almost broke his ML rod more than once as it fought and surged.  After about a 5 minute fight, we saw this...


It sure got George's blood pumping!  We estimated about 25 pounds and think it was a blue cat?
The action slowed down for a while as the tide was going out.  We moved around, but could not get anything to bite.  Finally, we got some bites as the tide turned near an inflow.  I managed 4 more LM, including this nice chunk.


George caught one more fish, and after a nice little fight, turned out to be some sort of a shad or sucker?  He hooked it on the outside of the mouth and it bled a bit.

Overall a decent day and always nice to get out on the water!

Happy Birthday, George!
