    Potomac brim fishing 3-28/29-18

    A few more boats out now than 2 weeks ago and all headed to the beach to get there ticket punched.

    Plenty of grass in play since the 3rd week in Feb. if you know where to look. New Lowrance fish reveal for the downscan is not much more than a color gimmick that shows what you saw before except now in a different color. Bonus is the spawning rockfish are up river doing there thing now too which adds some excitement to the mix. Small craft warning out today thru Sat with rain. Sunday quite a bit cooler. Water temps bouncing around from 48 to 50 in the afternoon. Once it stays 55 overnight it will get real good.

    Yup, parking lots everywhere tomorrow with tournaments. Me, leisurely launch around 8ish, after wife makes me French toast. Figure by then 1/2 the tourney anglers will be in the panic mode with not having a bite In the first hour of the first tournament.

    Nice fish Mike!

    Thanks Ron. Looks like the wind is going to lay down for Saturday but it will be in the 30's. Not back out again till it warms up.

    Damn Mike, makes me want to scratch my fishing itch with a really breezy week ahead, but not for my tin boat.

    Hal after this blow on Monday we have a few nice days coming this week. And the froth from the weekend beating will have subsided.

    The wind hasn't let up much. Gale warning today and 15+ thru Saturday when the snow shows back up again. That will eliminate one weekend of Potomac brim bashing. Day trip to the Chic was fun.
    Good news it's almost turkey season!!!
