Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} GP Fishing Report 10_29_2013

Great report Trent, and thanks for posting!  I know a lot of folks have been hitting Gravelly lately and having good results.  I think some are reluctant to post maybe due to the wading/legality issues.  There still seems to be no consistency in the rules.  I had a customer in the shop the other day who said a Park Police officer told him he cannot wade there "unless he is wearing a PFD".  I could live with that even, but like you said on the other thread, so long as you're not there at 2AM there doesn't seem to be a problem.

 

So come on folks, Trent showed you his!  I know there is a tendency to keep quiet, but ask yourselves honestly if you would have ever gone and fished for Stripers at Gravelly if you had not learned of it through TPFR.  Remember the feeling you got when reading the reports and seeing the pictures from others.  No doubt it got you fired up and motivated to learn the tides, and to get out there in the dark, or rain, or cold, to chuck a Clouser into the current and take a chance.  Now is your time to be that motivation for those who have yet to experience the thrill.  If you have recently been to Gravelly, or the Basin, or Little Hunting, or Hunting at the mouth of Cameron, etc., etc., etc., and have been tying into some linesides, let's hear about it!  Don't think of it as boasting, see it as paying it forward to the next in line.  I'm looking forward to hearing some of the stories and seeing some great pictures.

 

Post them if you got them!

I hit GP for about an hour this morning from maybe 6:45-7:45. It was a gorgeous morning and a lot colder than I expected. I found fellow TPFR member Remick and two other anglers had beat me to the water. As I debated if I should just watch these three fish or pop over to the Duck Pond…which has still been producing Largemouth Bass as of last Monday, an opening came as one of the three had to report to work. I popped in and picked off about a half dozen schoolies in the 12"-16" class  over the next hour. The Bigger fish were in the heaviest water and deep. I used a 250gr sinking line with 4ft of 0x, and some size 2 clousers I tied with Steve Farrars flash blend material. Pretty slow morning as far as GP goes, but not a bad stop before opening up the shop. If you get up early to fish it, you may want a backup plan as it tends to get crowded at Gravelly Point this time of year. Maybe look to the Pentagon Marina outflow, or Rock Creek where it hits the Potomac. I haven't hit either as of late but they have produced for me in the past during this time of year. Maybe try the Duck Pond as well, I pulled about 15 LM bass out last Monday morning…mostly small ones but a few pushing 14''-15"…get out and get your fishing in while we have the nice weather!
