Hello Capt Mike, Man I'm envious of your catches! Is the Potomac tidal where you fish? I'm in PA, but fish MD on the Susky Flats, North East, Bohemia and Sasafrass rivers. I'm new to fishing there and have been targeting white perch, but would love to get into the crappie. Any hints you would like to share fishing for crappie in tidal rivers? Thanks, Ron
