I managed to get out today and hit the area near Fletcher's Boathouse.
As usual, an adventure negotiating DC traffic to get there.
There is a new traffic signal right at the entrance to take most of the terror out of exiting the driveway.
Yay!
The strong wind wind blowing up the river was a problem. It put a big belly in my braided line, I didn't always have contact with my lures and missed a bunch of strikes.
I was able to find some fish. Enough to come home smelly and tired. The cats are avoiding me as they don't like shad stink, not a bad thing. Several were females 22-24", big and full of roe.
I was using the tandem shad dart rig John Veil mentions in his new book: two darts tied to a split ring, a 1/16 oz. dart on a 28-32" leader, and a 1/8 oz.dart on a 12-15" leader.
The hot color, today, was lemon-lime. Yellow chartreuse body, dark green chartreuse head, green Krystal flash tail.
And it's only gonna get better over the next couple of weeks
