Potomac PB

[G8rmac]

Played hooky from work today and went out near Blue Plains in D.C. Water was about 49 degrees. Caught one close to 2 lbs on a crank, then switched to a small spinnerbait. Dragged it on the bottom near some rocks and thought I had hung it on the bottom until the bottom started moving away! Couple minutes later I netted my Potomac best, 4 1/2 lbs and 20". He looks dead in the pic, but he was released alive and well!

Great fishing at the poop plant!!:lol::lol: Nice fish. Very pretty for a river bruiser.

You're right about the plant Tox, I don't like to think about the things I've seen float out of that area! :blink:

Definitely not the place to rinse your hands but always pays off with a fish or three.

Mac - great pic! Also in one of my favorite spots on the Potomac. Haven't been there all season (sigh). So how many licenses/registrations do you need to fish the river these days? :lol:

Yeah nice one, that's how the big ones pose for picture, be real still and open mouth and maybe I'll end up back in my world.....

Jim-Still two licenses, VA and DC, but you have to register with NOAA! Because you might catch a striper in the tidal part of the river, they want you to register with the Feds. Don't understand the reason, but at least VA has a link to register when you buy your VA license.

Thanks Mac. Maybe I will invest in a DC license for next year afterall!



We need to get out again - its been too long . . .
