St. Clements Island – Potomac River - 09/29/13– At Least The Cookout Was Good.

[Fishtank]

Slow day at St. Clements Island. ( Lower Potomac) Up until last year you could consistently count on this place to produce a number of keeper rockfish (always held a lot of reds, some specs, all kinds of bottom fish ) Not this year (although last week there were patches of small rock popping up all over the place and you could catch as many as you wanted)

Yesterday managed a 21” spec, handful of rockfish to 17”, some small bluefish etc. Surprisingly the island is rarely used. It has grills and tables so if fishing is less than stellar at least you can have a cookout.
