Went out to the point on the Potomac from the St Inigoes launch this morning and absolutely killed croaker trolling a 1/8th ounce jig head with a pink Gulp swimming mullet. I stopped counting after 20 and think I ended up somewhere in the 25 to 30 range in about 2 and 1/2 hours of fishing. Because of the way croaker bite a moving bait it was key to have rod in hand to set the hook for most of them. They ranged in size from 8 to 12" today. Also picked up 2 random stripers that weren't in a school that I could detect. All of these fish came from 4 to 5 feet of water and within 50 feet of the rip rap (and really in just a 100 yard stretch of the rip rap wall).
The water was stained a little bit more than it was on Monday but there was still about 2 feet of visibility, which given the heavy storms we've had kind of surprised me. Weekend looks like more rain and lots of wind so it will be interesting to see how it holds up.
