Its been a few weeks since my last post. Great precedent for a new blog, right? Well I got married at the end of March and then went on my honeymoon for a couple weeks, so surprisingly enough, I had a couple other things to prioritize over fishing. For once. Side note: tried for the might Giant Trevally in Bali. Lots of work, no luck.
Anyway, I was surprised with a beautiful day yesterday and the Potomac is completely blown out, eliminating any possibility of shad, so I hit up the C&O Canal for a few hours. As usual, it was completely unpredictable fish. Lot of fish lounging around without the slightest interest in eating. There was also a nasty green algae film covering the bottom of the first couple hundred yards or more. I finally got into some fish, and what do you know? The colors they had been going crazy over last month hardly even got a second look. After switching back to the tried and true green, I started getting the action. I ended up nailing four in total, but lost what looked like the biggest one of the day after he made an immediate beeline into some brush and broke me off.
