Hi everyone -Looking for some advice as it relates to accessing the Potomac for the shad run with a raft (clearly I'm already getting excited about the spring).I know the rowboats are available for rent from Fletchers, but does anyone use drift boat style rafts to fish shad? If so, do you launch them from the makeshift launch at the edge of the parking lot in Fletchers or another spot?A buddy and I have a Stealthcraft Hooligan XL raft and I was hoping to use it to get out there, but I know access is limited. We plan to put an e-propulsion outboard on it soon, but I would love to avoid the long, slow ferry up river from Gravelly point if possible.Any advice would certainly be appreciated.Brian
I'll pick this up for Regan.Waders are necessary IF you are planning to practice two-hand casting with Regan in the river, but they are not required for casting on the grass. In other words, don't let not having waders keep you from attending.Looking forward to seeing new faces and old friends when next we meet.Best,Owen--On Sunday, January 29, 2023 at 8:25:21 PM UTC-5 scott....@gmail.com wrote:Regan,Should I bring my waders for this event?ScottOn Sun, Jan 29, 2023 at 10:56 AM Regan Burmeister <rega...@gmail.com> wrote:We will have our casting get together on Sunday, 12 Feb at Fletcher's Cove from 8am to 11am.This Church will be free form, just working on whatever people would like.Additionally, we will work on FFI Casting Skills challenges for anyone interested.Come on out, whether you are a novice, intermediate, or advanced caster, it is all fun to work on solving casting problems and casting challenges, particularly for shad.If you are just getting started, this is a great way to meet people who can help. There will be casting instructors on hand.If you are preparing for an upcoming trip and looking to re-fresh your casting skills, this is a great opportunity.Regan--
