Getting a bit antsy and tired of feeding birds I called and had a chat with Gordon Leisch. He is a Potomac river Fletcher's Cove angler and former Navy pilot/shrimper/marine biologist who has kept consistent records on the first bite since 1975. Before that he had partial info going back to 1948.
Here is what his records reflect.
Striped Bass February and early March in the Tidal Basin near the warm water outflows.
White Perch Mid-March
Hickory Shad Last week of March
American Shad 1 week to 10 days after the first H shad
Snakehead April high water
All of it may be a little late this year. We both agreed that it will probably happen all at once.
