A rookie co-worker and I launched from the 225 bridge and paddled down a ways. 103 degrees out and the bass were chasing crankbaits! I started off with a rubber frog and had 3 fish blow up on it, but not get hooked. I switched to a white buzzbait and caught 2 decent fish in the 13-14 inch range. Missed a few more on the buzzbait. Switched to a Manns Baby -1 crankbait and immediatly hooked up with a 21 inch largemouth. It was blind in one eye and skinny. Longest bass I've every caught. It flipped off of my Golden Rule and back into the creek as I reached for my camera...
I caught probably 8 more on the crankbait. A couple of 15 and 16 inchers all the way down to a 10 incher. I had a small snakehead follow my crankbait. My buddy had a snakehead on for a few seconds, but it came off. It was a nice trip, but a little on the hot side. I'll be heading back in a few weeks. These tidal largemouths remind me of smallies. They are feisty and pull hard. They seem stronger than the dead weight bass I catch out of local ponds or Triadelphia/Rocky Gorge.
Here's a few photos.
