Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Is the shad run over?

We did quite well from shore on Saturday morning. Big hickory shad and loads of schoolies. Morgan from @TLTFF watched a guy get covered in cormorant guano. He would get squirted and look around but couldn't figure out where it came from. He never looked into the tree above. 

We also got a foul hooked needlefish. First one of those spotted his year. Yuck.

Saturday morning was very good early (we start as soon as they release the boats), though not the absurdity of last weekend (for us anyway -- Jim was another story and he was anchored just a stone's throw up). It got slower for us in the afternoon, and we headed out. I was telling Jim that last weekend's Fri and Sun was as many fish are Beth and I can ever remember catching, anywhere.  
 
This was all further up river -- we tried the area out from the launch a few weeks ago and found it slow, so we moved up.

I was there Sat afternoon from like 3 to 6 and it was slow in that area.  I got one nice American and that was it.  I caught some fish upriver (hickories and schoolies) but it was not great.  I didn't see anyone doing very well anywhere.  I doubt you were doing anything wrong.  A month ago you could have fished there and caught 50 fish.
