Fort Washington 6/20/15

[clm]

Launched from Farmington Landing. Stopped about 150 yards south of the fort Washington lighthouse in 10 foot of water at 630. Cats, carp and gar were rolling everywhere. Picked up 4 cats. 3 blues and one channel. Half and half, shrimp and salted chicken livers. The bite slowed, so I'd thought I'd see what's on the north side of the lighthouse. I found 60 feet of water (after asking another boater)(batteries conveniently died on my depth finder) with 45 feet of anchor rope...so I slow drifted into a 3 footer (he covered the width of the hobie). He swallowed the hook, so I cut the line close and wished him well. I will be going back with fresh batteries and more rope. Apparently that is the same area the state record blue was caught. The current in that area is crazy. Swirls and flat areas, that really push and alter the yak. I'm looking forward to starting there next tine.

You know it. Makes the wife ill. I tell her it feels like success.

beware of the potomac princess tour boat . she puts off a 4 foot wake and comes right pass that point .

I've rode those out many times...my favorite was a foggy morning and the glitter boats were running wide open...even in the limited visibility... She went by and for the next few minutes all you heard was zooooommmm....BAM BAM BAM!!!! then silence....I think the silence was them cleaning out there drawers...then they'd start again at a much slower rate...

Yup. That's why shore fisherman love that point. The channel is within spitting distance.

Bill and I Launched our Kayaks at the point a couple winters ago.......walk down the hill to that area is easy...dragging Kayak back up the huill after hard day's fishing??...not enjoyable (but doable for sure)

Launch where clm did at Wharf Road on Piscataway Creek and you can avoid the uphill drag and the park entrance fee.
