fishingfourfun Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Will the Potomac River be fishable after all the recent rain? How much debris is in the river at this time? Quote
VolFan Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Not right now. I'd wait until Sunday unless you're going to fish way back in a creek. There's alot of logs and flotsam in it right now around DC and Alexandria. Be careful if you're running at any speed. Quote
rondef Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 The Potomac River is muddy and it has a lot of debris in it. If you choose to go out in the main river, be careful. I am going out today but will stay in Aquia Creek rather than the main river. It will take a couple of days for the river to settle down after all of those down pours we had the last couple of days.

VABasser Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 I was out today. Wasn't too bad in the Quantico, Powell's Creek, Mattawoman area. Sure it was muddy but just a few floaters nothing serious. Hey ron how'd you do? We ended up with only six, biggest only 2 lb 3 oz. Seemed slow, atleast for me. No pattern, just one here, one there Quote
rondef Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 I fished Lunga today because I needed to renew my base permit. I had a bunch of Rage Tail baits destroyed by pickerel. I was skunked as far as bass go. I am thinking about launching at Aquia Creek tomorrow to fish the boat docks and pads. Quote
Nottoway Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Hey Guys, What ramp in Aquia Creek do you use?? Quote
Super User Sam Posted May 31, 2009 Super User Posted May 31, 2009 Hey Ron, Did they remove the barge and open the left side of the Hope Springs ramp? Quote
rondef Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Been home sick most of the weekend so I din't get a chance to fish Aquia, I am hoping to fish there June 13th or 14th. I will be out of town next weekend for my niece's high school graduation in Massachessetts. Quote
soccplayer07 Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 a buddy and I fished the grass near pohick on Sunday. We did well. 5 fish for around 15-16lbs. Largest was 4.5. Quote
fishingfourfun Posted June 6, 2009 Author Posted June 6, 2009 Is the Potomac all trashed up after another round of heavy rain? Quote
VABasser Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 I imagine. I'm gonna hit Aquia tomorrow I think so I will be able to see for myself Quote
soccplayer07 Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I went out today. It was not bad at all. I was very surprised! Launched at pohick and went as far as old town. Who's going out tomorrow? Quote
VABasser Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I went out today. It was not bad at all. I was very surprised! Launched at pohick and went as far as old town. Who's going out tomorrow? Really wow! That is surprising. Howd you do? I will be out for sure tomorrow, just trying to decide if I should launch out of Aquia or further north from a ramp on Quantico Quote
soccplayer07 Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 didn't fish too much. we took the gf's out today...had 3 fish total though (2 perch and 1 cat all off spinner baits, haha). Still in shock about the water. I expected so much debris. Good luck tomorrow. What kind of boat do you have? Quote
NewAngler Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I'm new to fishing and haven't been to too many places. Are there any good shore spots in aquia or pohick, as I do not have a boat.. Also, what's a good bait to use from the shore in any body of water for bass? Quote

Still in shock about the water. I expected so much debris. Good luck tomorrow. What kind of boat do you have? I know how that goes. I've (well my dad I guess ) got a Bass Tracker 185 with a 60 horse Merc. I'll post a report up tomorrow evening if I can get around to it Quote
soccplayer07 Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Went out today. Man was there was so much more debris compared to yesterday. We landed 10 with three thrown hooks at the boat. Largest went a little over 4lbs. Great day on the water! Quote
Chai Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 What type of bait were you guys using and where did you guys use it? Quote
soccplayer07 Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Most came off the grass with senkos, spinnerbaits and flukes. Did you go out? Are you heading out this weekend? Quote
