Potomac Fishing Report 9.29.13

[Trent Jones]

I fished the Tidal Basin from about 4-430 this afternoon. The incoming tide was beginning to peter out as I arrived, but I still stuck a handful of Stripers around 12" each. Being that I was in jeans and flip-flops, I called it quits as the tide began to overtake the concrete walkway I was standing on. Size 2 Chart/White Clousers on a sinking line did the trick.

Rebecca Davenport, Scott Stankus and I fished the tide change at Gravelly tonight. Me and Davenport spotted a meteor over DC which was pretty awesome.

I had two hook ups. First one broke me off on a 12lb tippet and was the hardest bite I've ever experienced around here, similar to a steelhead. Next cast after I rigged up was with a white CK Baitfish. First cast got me a fat striper, probably the 3rd biggest I've pulled out of the Potomac. I left at 7:45.

Glad Trent got into some Mr. Pajama Pants tonight too.

I got one around 8:30 - also on a white CK Baitfish. Personal best for me - between 16" and 18". 

The weeds were really bad, though - thick mats of floating weeds that got tangled around the fly and fly line. Was thinking a stripping basket might have been useful. 

Also saw tons of baby Shad feeding on the surface. I missed seeing the meteorite though...

Rob - Were you wading near the outflow from under the parkway?

Bruce,

Yes I was wading and have been doing so all summer with out any incident. It would be hard for a police officer to drive by on the GW Parkway and see anyone at the spot along the tunnel wall. Probably going back tonight as my father in law's plane has been delayed several hours and I'm taking him to the airport ;)
