I decided to get out before the rains come and try for some greenies. I got on the water about 8am. Cool, but not cold out. Tried a jerkbait for a bit. It was almost low tide. No takers, so I worked the near shoreline. It took a while, but I caught a nice 15"er on the ned rig.
I was glad to get the skunk out. I caught another 14" on the ned nearby.
The tide was coming in and the sun came out for a bit. I tried different stuff, but no bites for a while. Wind shifted direction but was not strong. I missed one bite in the far side and then eventually worked around to the near side. After eating my lunch and working different lures, I decided to stick with bottom dragging. I had a ned, a Nikko ned and a spider grub. I got a good hit on the ned and had a bigger fish on for a few seconds, but it somehow got off. I switched to the spider grub in the same area and got this fat 14"er all dolled up with red lips.
I made a couple more casts to that tree and got a good 18.5"er on the hula grub.
The pattern was wood with moderate depth, dropping off from shore. I had at least one more bite on the ned, but I was missing them for some reason on that setup. It was good in the morning. Got off the water a little after 3pm.
I was happy to get a last trip in for 2021. Better quality fish, but fewer bites than a few weeks ago. Overall good day to be out.

Very nice! Feels like it's been ages since I've had a good Potomac trip.
