    A Great Outing with My Grandson

    3/4 Day Trip • 2 adults • 1 child

    Although we had tough weather, Captain Jeff got us on fish. Big smallmouth! but the special part was his interaction wjth my 9 year old grandson, a novice fisherman. very patient in making sure he advanced his skills throughout the day, at the same time Jeff hooked up fish for my grandson to reel in, which kept his interest level sky high throughout the day. Great job.

    Thank you for putting us on some really good fish today, but more importantly, thank you for all the education you give us about how to catch fish on that river, that is my sole reason for booking the trips with you, I know you’re going to not only put us on fish, but the education and fishing tips we get from you are priceless, can’t wait to do it again in a few weeks

    Reported catch:

    Right now fishing has been very good. Even with the hot days we are catching a lot of quality river smallmouth. Plastic baits are the key to catching fish. Early morning has been the best time to be on the water. Book your next smallmouth trip with Shallow Water Fishing Adventures.

    Jeff knows what he is doing! You can tell he spends a lot of time on the river. He had us on fish the whole time. We caught nice smallmouth all day, to many to count. I definitely recommend his service.

    Trip to remember. This was a Fathers day gift trip. Captain Jeff made sure it's not one we will ever forget. From his gear, to his knowledge of the river, to his service and consistent help to keep us fishing, Jeff enabled us to catch the smallmouth we had hoped for. Def the biggest I've caught and you might say that for my old man as well. It was a great day on the River and we can't wait for the next. Thank you Jeff!

    This month has brought consistent weather we have not seen in the month of February for several years. The upper Potomac River gauge at Edwards Ferry is showing just over 5 feet. The gauge at Point of Rocks is showing just over 3 feet with water temperatures in the mid 40's. The Susquehanna River at the Harrisburg gauge is showing just over 5 feet. Spring is just around the corner and the smallmouth will be thinking about spawning in the near future. Before they spawn they like to stage in certain areas close to spawning locations. One type of area they like to stage in, is on island points in the middle of the river. Right now we have been catching fish on SWFA Tubes, 4 inch swimbaits, small Zman Baits and suspending jerkbaits. Target shoreline eddies and shoreline areas that have very slow moving water. The bite has been very light. The bite will be a light tap on the end of your line. When you feel that tap, you need to set the hook right away. Good luck on the water and be careful. Always wear safety gear when on the river.

    Here are your current conditions and fishing report for the upper Potomac River. As we get closer and closer to February the weather is getting colder during the day and night. I believe the nighttime temperatures are very important this time of year. They set the tone for how the water temperatures will trend. The upper Potomac River is currently sitting at 40 degrees. The water level at the Edwards Ferry gauge is holding at 4.4 feet. The water clarity is clear with stained water in deeper areas. To catch smallmouth focus on whatever deep water you can find. Deep water being 6 feet or deeper. They are being found in very slow moving water and classic eddy looking water with the above mentioned depths. Use small plastic baits such as SWFA Tubes, Neds, Zman Baby Goats and Zman TRD Ticklerz. Jerkbaits are also a key factor in catching smallmouth right now. You can’t go wrong with Lucky Craft, Megabass or Rapala Jerkbaits. Fish these baits and lures very slow/ dead stick them. Good luck and stay warm. These baits, lures and techniques mentioned should work anywhere in the Mid-Atlantic Region on river smallmouth.

    Fish spawning creek areas and shore line eddies. I have caught them on tubes, neds, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, jerkbaits and chatterbaits. But chatterbaits have been working good. They are also near and around large grass beds on the river. The water was brownish green 2 days ago. Water temps are in the low 60’s.

BIG SMALLMOUTH COLD WATER

Jan 3, 2023 • Dickerson
Fish this winter with Shallow Water Fishing Adventures. Here is a quick fishing report for the upper Potomac. The water is 43 degrees, the water clarity is stained with good visibility, the river gauge is reading showing 5.5 feet. Fish are being caught in shoreline eddies near the current seams. We are catching fish with swimbaits, tubes, Zman Ticklerz, Zman Baby Goats and jerkbaits. Depending on the area that we are fishing 1/16th to 1/8th oz jigheads are being used. The bite is soft. January is a great month to be on the river. If your interested in learning how to catch smallmouth in the winter or are familiar with winter fishing and just want to get on the water then contact Shallow Water Fishing Adventures.
