    Default Found them again, Potomac River, 24 June 14


    Took my wife out along with the kids this time, hoping to get on the fish again like the other day. From the first cast it was on. We put 52 in the cooler between 0545 and 0830. My wife capped it off with a stud, 16 in, 2.3 lb crappie. The fish were even better this time, with the large majority 12-13 in fish. Anything black and chartreuse on 1/16 oz jigs, and in 7-10 feet of water. The fish are feeding heavy right now. Water temps are 80-82, so the fish are a little deep, but they are drilling it. My normal cast and retrieve, became a cast, let it sink, thump! Over and over.

    Now THAT's a great day's fishing!! What was the black/white ratio? Only a few of the fish in your pile-o-fish picture appear to be whites.

    I counted only 4 whites. Maybe 5, the big one has some vertical stripes kind of like a white. The previous trip, they were all black. Which makes sense. This is a grassy, river system, from my understanding, these areas end up predominantly black crappie.
