The rain stopped, the sun came out, and the fish went
crazy this past weekend.
Spot, croaker, perch, big red drum, spanish mackerel,
bluefish, flounder and rockfish all got busy feeding this
week.
Spot and croaker are in the mouth of the Patuxent for
bottom fishermen both from boats and the fishing piers.
The Solomons pier had good catches of spot most ev-
ery night this week. There were many nice croaker and
perch too. Boaters found croakers and spot in Kingston
Hollow and from Town Creek to West Basin on the 30 Red Drum caught on Capt. Luke Koller’s charter boat Capt. Damon Williams on the Crack of Dawn scored on the
“Rock Star” drum out of Solomons Islands
foot edge.
The rockfish bite continues to be very good for troll-
ers on the oyster bars in the upper Potomac around
Swan Point and in the Patuxent from Half Pone Point
to Broomes Island. Scattered rockfish are active at dusk
and dawn in the shallows eager to hit most any lure.
Big red drum have been caught by trollers using col-
orful spoons below Cedar Point from outside the Targets
to Hooper’s Island light. Bluefish and spanish mack-
erel are hitting the spoons when the redfish are being
searched for.
Cobia are being chummed and chunked up in the
lower bay. Live eels in the chumline are working well.
There is a good run of crabs underway.
There are plenty of catfish in the upper regions of the
Potomac and Patuxent.
We have seen some really big largemouth bass all
week from ponds and St. Mary’s Lake. Bluegill and shell
crackers are eager for night crawlers or live crickets.
