{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Occaquan - rockfish...

I hit the Occoquan in my kayak May 1 early morning not knowing the  shad were still around.  I was surprised by catching a 15" rockfish right away, and even more surprised when I caught another 20 of them ranging from 10" to 19".  (I only caught 3 shad, assuming their numbers are thinning).  This was all in the stretch before all the rocks block any further upstream, above where the shore casting guys cluster.

Everything was on the normal shad flies i used.  I added a big clouser hoping that I might find a bigger rockfish, but nothing liked it.

Is this a normal occurrence or a fluke?  I'd love to get back out there, but don't want to waste a morning.  I fished the entire area back to the park takeout, and didn't find any more.
