I think I heard SAvs were on the rebound in the Severn River ? However Creeks like Piscataway south to Mattowomen from what I can see are trashed. However the Martty not as trashed as the others. Thing is when I was growing up the actual river from WW bridge south to the 301 Bridge held grass, Bass, and Waterfowl. I used to live on the river just north of Broad creek and there were thousands of Ducks and Geese. The fishing was wonderful. South down around Nanjamoy and Mallows bay was thick with grass beds as well. All gone now. Trashed. What I find really baffling is most of that "grass" was invasive hydrilla. Hydrilla they said was impossible to kill, that it was a huge environmental problem, there was no way to get rid of it. So if it is that tough to kill what the heck happened that it all disappeared? I think development did it. But idk. It
sucks though. This used ti be a wonderful place to live for a fisherman and Waterfowl hunter.

Never seen a Dead Bass the day after Weigh in?? Wow! Ive fished Mattowomen creek for 39 years.they love holding "tournaments" there. I've seen several dead Bass floating after they are done on numerous occasions. Actually every time. I hate them. They have no issues with yanking spawning fish of there beds. Then they keep them in there "live wells all day till closing time they hold them outta the water for however long. Then of course there the trash they leave behind. However the trash is definitely not limited to the tournament folks. I have never seen a lmore of a trashy group of people then some fisherman to be honest. For instance I'm headed out now to fish a pond. I could fill my boat up with fishing related trash. Worm containers, lure boxes,cigarette butts and of course hooks and fishing line. Strung all through the trees where they get hung up. Dead great blue herons that got tangled up. Seen that twice. Sucks

No judgment or anything but do u pull spawning Bass of there beds?

Another pond Bass from yesterday. I do not use a net. I lip grip them snap a quick pic them back in water asap. I also definitely do not yank them off there beds. I do notvthink thats cool. Not even a little bit.

Absolutely not! I hate those tournaments. Despise them. I have seen dozens of dead Bass floating after there."Weigh ins". They fill up Mattowomen creek with there horrid Bass boats. I am a Bas fisherman though. I do not use nets and put them back in thecwater asap. If they are over 4cpiunds I take a quick pic then let them go. I lup grip them. I handle them as little as possible

I hate to see them handheld like like. Laying them o. The ground but beautiful bass though

I used to concentrate on the rock rip rap in early spring under the theory the rocks would hold some heat from the sun and it worked. I caught allot of Fish in early spring like that. I used small crank baits

What exactly is a "reservoir rig"? What is it designed to do?

Caught flounder near mouth of Potomac but that was over 30bywars ago so God only knows if they still around there. Like I say in the course of my lifetime I have seen the Potomac, Piscataway, Mattowomen, Pomonkey creek turn3d I to literal sh!t holes. Still some fish but nothing like what they used to be. First class fishing and in the winter excellent Waterfowl hunting. Now they are things of the past. Once was clear water filled with SAVs.

Might be some flounder at the mouth of Potomac?

Potomac river and its tributarys have been turned into a literal sewer. In my lifetime I have first hand witnessed the destruction. It's heart breaking

Looks like a mid west Walleye boat! Very cool.
