Long time lurker, first time fishing report poster! With the balmy weather and tide situation being so favorable, a buddy and I launched at 1845 from St. Mary's College and headed to some spots that I had previously scouted for their potential "fishy-ness". We were trolling popeye bucktails. I had a 3/4 oz. white one, not sure what size he had. My buddy was the first to hook up, landing a 14" puppy drum. We then found a bunch of 14"-19" schoolie rockfish. Through the evening we probably caught and released a dozen each. The highlight of my evening though, were the speckled trout that I encountered! I caught a total of three last night. Ranging from 13", to a new personal best of 16.75" one. Still pretty pumped today thinking about that fish. Didn't think I'd see any personally this season, but goes to show you can't catch anything if you don't have a line in the water! tight lines and stay safe. Here's some photos of the two smaller ones. Speckled Trout 3.jpg Speckled Trout 2.jpg

Well done. We're also seeing some 12-13" flounder showing up in the mix as well. Not unusual to catch 4-6 different species in an outing right know in the lower Potomac and its tributaries. Now that your published, no more lurkingMike
