Windy on the River
REB9 11/16/2007 - 18:09 Trip Reports Potomac Roll Your Own
Actually got to take a 9/80 Friday off today. So, I kissed the wife, put the monsters on the big yellow bus, hooked up the JRJ and headed for the river. Stopped in Jefferson for gas and coffee. 2 guys asked me if I was huntin or feeshin? I said both.... Cold, windy and more wind when I got to the river. Up river I went for a 4 mile ride in the wind and waves. Wore neoprene waist waders and GORETEX.
Started feeshin with a suspending jerkbait. Caught a nice smallie on the second cast. Ended up with 5 in an hour of "suspending" the jerk. Feesh wanted the jerk real slow. Far to windy to work plastic, though I tried later in the day.
Drifted along the banks looking to sneak up on a woodie with no luck. Saw a 6 point buck swimmin cross the river about 1:30PM. Guess he really enjoyed the swim, for about 10 minutes later, he decided to head back across the river.
Feeshed for awhile in the PM and ended up hooking 3 more. River running low and clear...
Ran into SMALLJAW and MUSKY MIKE around 3PM. Hopefully, they had a good evening bite. PUlled around 4PM.
Another great day to be alive and enjoy the POTOMAC!!!!!!!
