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.
