Mattawoman (Fishing Report?)

[R1Peacock]

Haven’t been down yet this year. Bringing my young son tomorrow and likely just staying in Mattawoman. How is the fishing at the mouth and back in the 6 mph zone?

I have been in there in the last two weeks. High tide they were holding close to wood, low tide close to the pads. Some nice 2 - 4 pounders boated both days.

Thanks, my son and I fished Mattawoman 6mph area above Slavins at high tide and we caught several bass holding on the edges and back into the spatterdock using a Bandit 100 Crankbait and Senko. Moved out near Marsh Island and caught a few more with a Chatterbait. We left Mattawoman and went down to Aquia where we caught several more using Senkos and Shad Shaped Worms. Not a bad day (had better) but any day fishing with my kids is special and worth every minute.

I do not recommend Slavins unless you want to just launch and fish the 6mph area. Kayakers were a PITA. Had to wait to launch and load with them clogging the ramp and not moving. Parking was a challenge as usual.
