Occoquan 2/25

was able to catch a 1/2 dozen largemouth on a slow day.
modest success was observed among the faithful, but little was noteworthy.

i noticed a very low tide prevailing through the noon and early afternoon hours.
when it finally turned around 2pm, the action perked up a bit. unfortunately a steady wind arrived w/ it.
i had to leave at 2:30. i suspect the most active session of feeding was on for the day.

look for a better bite tomorrow as warmer overnight temps will retain some of the benefit of today's sunshine.
high tide relents around 8am, while low tide won't  break until around 3pm.

tomorrow evening could be a real winner down on the occoquan...

nice 2 see the crew on carl's vessel probing the depths as well...

Do Yellow Perch taste good and are they good fighters?

Re: Occoquan 2/25

a big ( like 1# plus ) YP makes a good case on ultralight tackle.

i have had success  dead sticking a 1/16 ounce smoke/pepper grub grub for them at occoquan.

i have taken some good bass the same way.

for me the bass there love orange senkos. i hit them hard around christmas wacky rigging. as the winter drags on i trim them into grub-like shapes w/ a razor knife and twitch them on 1/16 or 1/8 jig heads.
usually them more i let it set the better i get bit. i lift the rod to feel for weight as much as work the lure.
i get a lot of fish w/o ever feeling a strike
