gravelly

[Howard A]

I went to gravelly this morning before work to fish the outgoing tide.  Nobody was there and stripers were breaking the surface.  I caught over a dozen in the 8-12" range and this one in the picture which was more like 16".  The second picture is a little tough to make out, but it's a guy swimming after his bass boat, which got away from him on the launch.  I watched long enough to make sure he got to it safely. I shouldn't make too much fun, as I had a similar experience with a shoe not too long ago.

Love it when you get the place all to yourself. A rare occurrence!

 

What’d the big guy bite on?

I was on the water coaching out of the Alexandria boathouse this
morning - great time to be on the water.

Hope to make it out tomorrow.

What time were you down there?

I caught them all on a 2/0 olive and white clouser.  I fished from 645-745, the fishing trailed off some after about 730. 

To be honest on weekday mornings I get it to myself more often than not.

This time of year, do you normally or ever wet wade there?

Stripers were blitzing bait all over the place last night. Emmet and I fished 5:30-8:30. Saw a rabbit come down from the airport side to take a drink. It took off before we could inquire about Peanut. It was a rather large rabbit, possibly lost from an airplane like Peanut. 1" Clouser minnnows and damsel nymphs brought the fish in.

I'll wet wade if I'm going straight home to a shower. If not, I'll put up with standing in swampy waders.

Good to know.  I was planning on going to chainbridge today after work but now I think I'l go to Gravelly instead.

This time of year, is it more about time of day or is it still a current effected bite? 

That was priceless about the guy going after his boat.

As far as the Occoquan, there is construction going on in the back area of it so it is muddy in the back end of the river.  It is yielding nothing....zip!  Not even a bluegill.

I was going to head out there early in the morning tomorrow since I live 10 minutes away and before it gets too hot. Are you all on the Potomac side or are you fishing the channel between the park and the airport? I haven't not fished that area before. Thanks.
