The rains finally arrived, and even though we prayed for the wet stuff, a lot of anglers feared a lengthy downpour would raise and muddy water levels. It didn't happen.
What a glorious time of year to be a dyed-in-the-wool sport angler. It's November, with cool nights and fairly warm days, and in the case of the Potomac River, crappies are biting big-time in a number of its tidal portions.
Much is happening in all the waters near and far from Washington. It begins with the clearing of the mountain rivers and the resumption of smallmouth bass and channel catfish catches from the upper Potomac to the Shenandoah and on to the Rappahannock rivers. But if heavy rains again arrive as they have all too often in recent weeks, all bets are off.
After two consecutive weeks of wind and rain that all but ruined the fishing for those who prefer to go after smallmouth bass and walleyes in the mountain rivers, the muddy waters have cleared and the fishing can resume. For example, the upper Potomac and Rappahannock rivers now are fishable and if we receive nothing more than a passing shower, let the casting begin.

MARYLAND: 25-65 miles – From St. Jerome's Creek, close to St. Mary's County portions of the Bay, Christy Henderson, of Buzz's Marina, said, "We had our best [trophy striped bass] opening day ever. Everyone was saying they caught the most fish in 15 years. No skunk trips, that's for sure. Many of the trophy rockfish came from around the Point No Point Light waters. We saw hundreds and hundreds of fish come in here. Lots of happy people."
"We also have had acres of breaking fish from the Woodrow Wilson Reef down to Point Lookout," said Christy.
