Made it out for a full day on the Chick and can't say I "found the bite"... Was a bit of junk fishing: your typical cypress tree, pads and dock bite, but nothing specific that was "the deal". Caught 6 total, all of which were in the 2-3lb range. A few came on the swimjig, a few on the chatterbait, and a few on a neko rig. Threw around all of your typical Chick baits: a frog, buzzbait, wacky senko... Nothing.

Throwing Shakey heads on laydowns in the rappahanock. Had an outgoing tide and overcast sky’s. I was using a 1/8 oz Scott Canterbury head, working the worm with the current in the same direction of the tide. Zoom Plum Trick Worms are becoming my one of my favorite colors to throw on a shakey head. I use the Falcon Lowrider Shakey Head rod with a 2500 size Daiwa Fuego reel. In the $130 price range, the Lowriders are one of my favorite series of rods. I own 5 of them now.

Fished the incoming tide all morning. Bite was slow as to be expected with those conditions. It was a cool morning and I couldn’t buy a topwater bite (lost one at the kayak on a buzz toad). I caught the fish in the picture on a shakey head and plum trick worm.

Saw a lot of movement in the spatterdock and caught a few flipping/punching near high tide. After the tide went out, caught more on an ozark rig stickbait with a screw lock spinner on the tail along grass edges.

Fished the evening on the Potomac. Fished the last of the incoming and the start of the outgoing before daylight ran out. The tide didn’t give us the greatest conditions (last couple hours of outgoing would have been best). I found some success throwing a watermelon red Fluke in the submerged grass and twitching it through. I throw my flukes on my jerk bait/light crankbait rod. I use a snap with the fluke on the superline hook and still get great action on the bait. Light breeze and partly cloudy skies.

Early morning topwater bite on the Rappahanock was slow. Had an outgoing tide and the bite should have been there, but the water was stained chocolate milk. Couldn’t hit anything on the spook, but the Canterbury buzz toad got a few. I caught the fish shown on the point of a feeder creek into the main stem of the river where there is some submerged timber.

Water level was up after the recent storm surge and the top water bite was on all morning. I was focusing on submerged Hydrilla. The skitter walk and Canterbury buzz toads were the top performers on the day
