Tried grass flats with limited results on Spinnerbait, swimming worm, and crank bait. Found the juice was wood and metal dock posts. Bigger fish came from 8-10’ depth. Smaller fish a bit shallower.

Bites picking up. Water was slightly stained and rain was off and on. We caught 20+ large mouth in the Potomac River around Mallows Bay over about an 8hr stretch. I caught most on a Junebug trick worm rigged on a 1/8oz shaky head. Another “hot bait” today was a chartreuse Baby One Minus Crankbait. Today, to my surprise, the Chatterbait struck out.
