Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: 4MR at 4am fishing report

Hahahaha I was wading--I was apparently also quite lucky, didn't run into anything.  My headlight is pretty weak (need a new one), so probably wouldn't have been able to see into the water regardless.

Was there a lot of surface activity while you were there?  I heard and saw a lot of big fish jumping as the tide was going out, to the point that I'm considering bringing a popper next time I get out there at night.  Something loud and attention-getting.

the lights were still on and there was a decent amount of ambient light. but were you wading that night? I could see above the water fine but I couldn't see into the water without my headlamp and didn't want to wade right into a submerged log or one of those lovely 4mr shopping carts

Good to know you had such good luck on a chartreuse/white clouser--when I was there at night I kept to dark patterns, but will reconsider that next time.

Do they shut off the perimeter lights that late?  I fished from 8:30 to 10:30, and other than when tying on, I didn't need a torch or headlamp once, there was so much ambient light.

Aaron,
      Yes it was right as the tide was going out. It was a tough wade since it was muddy and it was a higher than usual low tide. Also it was obviously pretty dark, definitely impossible without a strong headlamp. We used a Slow jerky retrieve with pauses on the clousers. Danny had to go out of town after we got back but im considering hitting it in the early morning again with my girlfriend. Im not sure yet though, getting up at 3am to do that this morning took it out of me.

Hey Sam and Dan,

 

 Great looking fish.  Fishing at 4AM was in the middle of the outgoing tide, is that correct?  What kind of retrieve were you using on the clousers?  I was thinking about going there tomorrow afternoon but now you have me thinking about the morning instead.  If you guys feel like going out again tomorrow morning, let me know.

 

Aaron (we met at the beer tie) O
