I got out about 7:15am and it was very foggy. I thought it would be a great day with rising air temps and no rain.
The fog was so dense, I could not go far. I tried a few casts with different baits, but no luck. I headed up a little further and started fishing an island. The water was more stained than the day before, even though we did not get any rain. I finally caught one on a tube. It was a thick 13"er.
I did not catch any more and the fog was thinning, so I ran upriver. I checked the MD side, but it was almost muddy. I went back to the VA side and just floated the island there. The water was green, but visibility was anywhere from 1-2 feet at best. I tried different baits, but finally hooked a couple on a ned head with a hula stick. Biggest was 13".
I thought it was going to be mostly cloudy, but it got sunny and hot. The fishing slowed to a stop. I ate my lunch and worked the shade a little. I decided to head back toward th ramp and work the shore closer to the ramp. I hooked a fish tossing a keitech fat impact on a SWM head behind a blowdown. I never really got a good hookset and it pulled off after running under the boat. I lost one more fish and hooked a smaller one on the tube before calling it quits. I was off the water by 2pm. I keep saying this, but I think they are spawning because the bite is really off. I was glad to hook any.

You May or May not catch a ton of fish this time of year.

We were out yesterday a mile or 2 below you shaking down the park's bass jet. It was indeed funky.
Both sides were muddy but the middle was cleaner. Jerks and tubes were catching them.
