For those that might not have ventured out, the croaker bite is decent in the Potomac River below the Rt. 301 Bridge. Fish the edges of the river channel and don't be afraid to move if the fish are not cooperative where you are dunking squid or shrimp for bait. The fish are not that big. Our biggest was almost 16 inches and we had plenty of 12 inch fish in the mix.
During our trip out to #30 we saw plenty of anglers trolling bucktails for striper. We did not see any fish caught but reports tell of fish that are up to 28 inches. A lot of throwbacks are out there too though.
We did not see any small blues yet but they should make a showing really soon given the heat and the salinity of the water from lack of rain lately.
