0 Comments

 
The bream are hitting in ponds on crickets, hoppers, red wigglers and small grubs and jigs. Bass are in the pads early and late and have finished spawning. Crappie have gone deeper now.
In the river bass are hitting in the grass or SAV areas of tidal creeks. Chatterbaits and jigs with plastics are doing the job. Some anglers are finding success with cranks along the wood. Catfish have started spawning and are hit or miss but they are hitting cut shad readily. We have gotten reports of big snakeheads in Potomac River trib headwaters.
Saltwater anglers are reporting that after a tough trophy rockfish season, there are some nice smaller rockfish in the Potomac to be had. Croaker are just starting to bite in the lower rivers. There is not much size to them but they are there. A few bluefish (small) are showing up around the CBBT now.
