Fished Mattawoman out of Slavins Friday night and Saturday morning. Friday night was a bit of a bust. Fished from 1900-midnight or so, only 5 bites and managed to land a decent bass on a horny toad.
Was planning on hitting the road once I got off the water but was irritated with myself for not doing better so I crashed for a few hours and then hit the water again. Launched at 0400 and fished till 1000. 2 solid bites in the dark that I missed on a black chatterbait and then just as the horizon started to pale the bass started pounding my horny toad. 6-8 bass on twice as many bites in 45 minutes or so and things started cooling off. around 0900 I headed back to an area I fished on Wednesday and did some sight fishing with a senko in the spatterdock. Managed a small snakehead and a chunky bass before it that died off and I had to hit the road. Much slower bite than on Wednesday but they were still there and biting if you could find them.
