Date Fished: 8/1/2000
Water Temperature: 83
Water Clarity: 1 foot

Waters may be somewhat muddy in portions of the river that are affected by heavy thunderstorms. We have had guides all over the river so far this week and have a pretty good read on what is taking place. Around the woodrow Wilson Bridge the grass bed covering the spoils continues to produce both numbers and an occassional large bass. Towater poppers, Berkley blue fleck power worms, white spinnerbaits and for the occassional large bass, jig and craw combos. The rock piles and wrecks around Hog Island were good to us for numbers when fished with spinner baits and worms. The grass in Piscataway can be productive as well as the wood and rocks in Little Hunting Creek and Dogue Creek. From Pomonkey south, the grass beds are the place to fish, when conditions are right, with a topwater being hard to beat over the grass. Follow up with a small white spinner bait and a plastic worm. On the low end of the tide, a wood or pier run will give you larger bass. Worms and jigs and craws are a good choice. Don't ignore the rock piles along the way. We finally had some nice stripers but all were caught below the 301 Bridge. Deep diving crank baits, pearl white with blue backs, are doing the trick when fished around channel markers as well as mid river shoals. Most stripers were keepers, a change from previous weeks.
