Subject: Tidal Potomac River, Maryland
Submitted by Reel Bass Adventures
Date Fished: 6/27/2008
Water Temperature: .82
Water Clarity: 1 foot Good bass catches continue throughout the river. In tidal creeks, we have had great success on outgoing tidal phases,using Rico poppers, Sammy stickbaits, and buzzbaits during low light hours, chatterbaits and Berkley Jointed Bladedancer around marsh banks during the higher portions of the outgoing tide, and crankbaits and 4" and 7" soft plastic worms and stickbaits around wood and creek channels during the bottom half of tides. Worm and stickbait productive colors have been green pumpkin, watermelon/gold flake, or red bug. Crankbaits colors have been shad or black/chartreuse, and all topwaters have been black or white. On main river grassbeds, we are finding a great bite on many types of frogs, with Strike King rage tail or the Bronzeye Frog our best producers. Frogs in white, black, or black/chartreuse have been very consistent, and strikes have been vicious. The best parts of the grassbeds for consistently catching larger bass have been those near deeper water. We are catching a large number of snakeheads in tidal creeks, with snakeheads caught in Mattawoman, Chickamuxen, Quantico, and Pomonkey Creeks. At least a dozen snakeheads have been caught in the past two weeks by clients and friends fishing these areas.
