Actually caught a fish this Sunday morning in the Tidal Basin. On the basin ~0600, biked home around 0900. Could see fish rising and grabbing stuff on the surface, so I started with that. Two hours of nothing over by the FDR side. Jumped on the bike and rode over to the East side of the Jefferson and started casting there. First cast, bass took my carp bug. Not a huge fish...but it was a fish. No more bites after that although I did see this massive bass go completely airborne about 50 yards out into the basin...it was a BIG bass. Continued working that area of the basin until 0900...when pretty much all surface activity stopped. It was like a switch. I did see one carp come up about 8 yards from the wall...grab a breath then sink back down.
I'm still trying to find the perfect lure or perfect cast/time of day to catch the whoppers I know lurk in the basin.
Maybe next time.
Cheers
Collin

So today I spent the afternoon by the George Mason Memorial. 1 big bite that took the fly & nothing else on minnows & a black woolly bugger. I ended up spending most of my time untying knots I created by bad casts into the wind. Any good beginner fly casting tips that will keep me from getting all tangled up?
