{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Can't decide?

+1.  I've hit it with my wife about 1 hour before, thru, and then maybe 1-2 hours after high tide.  Fishing was quite good.  All we had were 5-6 weights with level 6# fluoro leader, and mostly just #10 woolly buggers.  Lots of bluegill action, a few smaller bass, a yellow perch, and we saw a lot of stuff that we couldn't catch (as always right? ;)) 

Try high tide -- but you never know with fishing!

If it's high tide, stripers will be in 4MR by the water discharge. Especially early in the morning, late in the evening, or at night. If you can time the tide right to where you have either the first couple hours of the falling tide or are fishing the peak of the rising tide (before you get washed out) - you have a very good chance of getting into some linesiders. That said, it's not a given for 4MR striper action. The schoolies go where they please and have many options along that shoreline as to where to hunt depending on the tide (Little Hunting Creek, Gravelly Point, etc). Hopefully they start showing up in better numbers - I've been out to Gravelly the past two mornings and some fish breaking, even caught a couple stout 12-14" schoolies, but even with the "perfect conditions" this morning (i.e. falling tide, overcast skies, fog, bait in the water) the fish weren't there in great numbers or if they were - they did a great job of hiding. Hope this helps.

Tight lines,

Thanks for your thoughts Gene. I have been at 4-mile recently but without much success (1 eight to ten inch striper) however it was at low tide. I would like to emphasize that I'm in no way talking bad about 4-mile, I 'm just not sure which location has better odds of success.

 

So everyone can leave thier partisian ideals at home on this vote, No matter which side you vote on, I WIN!!!  :)
