How does the Potomac fish compared to the james - its seems like much bigger water and the tidal amy or may not be the same. I have never fished but will be working in the area a fair amount this summer. Thanks.

I have fished the Potomac from Western MD all the way to it's mouth at the bay. Near the bay the fishing is pretty good. You never know what you might get into. I have even had skates swimming around my boat north of the 301 bridge. around DC there is some pretty good bass fishing. The current can get pretty strong on the Potomac.
Never had the chance to get out on the James yet.

Hey piper,
Just a quick note on the differences of the two rivers the way they fish for bass.
I attack the Potomac more in the fashion of a lake in the respect that when I find them I stay on them through all and any tide stage. In other words find them and sit on them.
The James I will run the tides trying to take advantage of the last 2-hours of out going water chasing it up river trying to capture that time frame of the tide as long as I can. Eventually the tide is going to catch up with your running and then you will have to make adjustments for a tide that usually slows the bite (last three hours of incoming)
PM me or call me and I can make that Z-9 dream a reality.
