Thursday 20 April: Hit a pond down at NAS Patuxent River after a meeting. On the bank about 1630-1815 and caught a bunch of bluegill and one crappie. Also caught a few small bass and this larger one (see pic). Unfortunately lost my last remaining small bass popper in a tree down there, so had to call it a day.
Friday I hit Orvis and stocked up on poppers and of course a few other items I have real no reason to buy...but bought them anyway.
Hit the Potomac yesterday in Hains Point under the 14th St Bridge. Decided to try a "dropper" (if that is what it's called). Tied off a yellow popper and then from that ran ~3-4 ft of 3x and tied off a little green nymph (recommended by the helpful guy at Orvis). Well it worked. No lunkers but did manage to catch a bluegill and about three 5-6 inch shad on the dropper. Throwing that rig takes some practice so they don't get tangled. I think I will fish a dropper from here on out based on this success (I was completely skunked there last week).
Cheers
Collin
