I have tried fishing the Pax from Bowie to Jug Bay.
I have about 12-15 half day paddles in this area over the last 5 years.
2 years ago we did get a few fish on one outing. But overall, this stretch is DEAD.
I launched at 5:45 this morning and went upstream, I was is flooded pads, I was in back creeks with picture perfect cover, the cover, grasses, pads, timber is world class,, The only thing missing is fish.
Trying to put my finger on why this area is so dead,, I covered acres and acres of flooded pads, Not a single spook, crash or splash in the pads or grass in 5 hours.
I have been in pads in ponds, Blackwater, mattawomen, etc and not caught fish,, but you can see/hear them,, The Pax is just dead!!
I know there is 5-7 sewage plants up stream,, is the water nitrogen rich/ oxygen poor??
It's a shame, this is 10 minutes from my house, but done wasting my time there
