A little late to the party, but after a successful morning with Captain Ryan on the Midnight Sun, we returned to the Potomac on my boat for an afternoon. I had the crew onboard what was a great afternoon of weather, fishing, and friends.
We were in the middle of the Potomac in about 45 – 75 foot dropoff. The water temps have finally gotten down to what we are looking for. Some birds were sitting on the water, but enough of them to think something was coming and it may be a good day. We ran over some excellent fish marks, not just the bait we have seen for a while now but of actual fish.
The lures that caught most of the fish were the purple people eater, all white, and a crazy greenish speckle with a fire-red tail. All of the ones we caught were on umbrella rigs. The rigs I have are below.
