Mattawoman 5/24

[chimo]

Launched at the 225 bridge around 0630 and fished my way down to the barge and then back up leaving at 1500 or so. Pretty good bass bite at times with around a dozen landed, a bunch of missed strikes and some thrown hooks. Also managed some crappie, a yellow perch and a bullhead. All fish seem to be moving into post spawn habits. Got a few of the bass on topwater but most came on small soft plastics fished around gravel. Probably the males guarding the nests. Biggest crappie, most were 9-11 inches

Most bass were in the 14 inch range but I did pick up a couple better fish

Was out there for 12 hours on Friday. Bite was as described, except I caught 4 on a buzz bait, spaced out all day. Last one on top was at 1600.

Pretty work, Wayne. Nice bunch of species, too. I didn't catch many crappie this year, so it's good to hear there are some nice ones still in the Mattawoman. Any snakehead sitings?

Nice Bass!!

Any snakehead sitings?

Not in the last couple trips, I'm wondering if they are spawning or???

Left Towson at 3:30am and I launched from Slavins at 5:00am last Sunday and only managed one LMB in the yak while missing on about a half dozen strikes. Didn't see any snakeheads and I was really hoping to land one. Fished the shorelines and lily pads at low tide with not a single snakehead in sight. Saw plenty of carp though and saw what I believed was a striper in the shallows. Some of the glitter rockets were a bit annoying as they seemed to feel like they had the right of way over those of us in the yaks.

Hello! nice catched. I'm a new member, can you tell me the brand of lures you used and the address where you launched your kayak. Looking forward...

Nice catch! I'm looking forward to getting back down there.
