Some Fishing

Type: Nontidal and Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: St. Mary's Lake and Lower Potomac

I started the day (5/7) on St Mary�s Lake. Getting on the water around 9:20, I fished til noon catching 12 largemouth bass. All but one on wacky rig the other on a jerk bait.

The water was like glass this morning, I could see bass feeding on bait as they pushed it to the surface. I�d cast and immediately get bit, but these were onesies twosies. It didn�t matter the depth. This was in the main body of the lake. The bigger fish came from water depths no more than 8� in a cove.

I then headed to fish the lower Potomac River looking for speckled trout. Getting on the water at 1:30. Once there, I caught seven red drum, six in the slot, over 18� and one under. I also caught two trout, losing two too. All caught with jigs. I got there as the tide crested and fished some of the falling. Getting off the water at 5:00.
