Subject: Tidal Potomac River, Maryland
Submitted by Reel Bass Adventures
Date Fished: 7/7/2007
Water Temperature: 82
Water Clarity: 1 foot We have been fishing both main river grass beds and creeks lined with hydrilla. Main river grass has been good throughout the tides, with high tide phases allowing us to swim soft plastic baits over the grass while on low tides we have been forced to put heavy weights on our baits and punch the baits through the grass mats, usually a 1 to 1-1/2 ounce weight is necessary to punch through the grass. Berkley Chigger Craws and Paca Craws are our most effective baits in grass mats, while finesse worms, soft plastic stick baits, and spinnerbaits work well in the creeks. The creeks have produced several bass this week in the 4-6 pound range on low tide by working areas where water is flowing from small guts in the bank. The bass have been holding on the outside of the guts in 3-6 feet of water, and a well placed worm or soft stickbait has resulted in larger than average bass. If you find these conditions during low light, a Rico popper will also produce well.
