I gambled and stayed a bit south today. No dice. Tried to work up in to eastern bay, but there were too many sailboats and go fast dingbats to make it worth it.

6/10/17. I caught 9 fat white perch.
Typically I just use bloodworms or nightcrawlers. That day was nightcrawlers. Normally I bottom fish in shallow water where it's rocky or along reeds.
I fished around Bloody Point and into Eastern Bay yesterday without much luck. One keeper and a few dinks. Heard the action was up at Love Point, but that was a long haul for me leaving out of Chesapeake Beach...
I live in National Harbor, have a season pass for a kayak rental place on the water. Been going out after work and tossing a line in on the Potomac right around the Wilson bridge. Been regularly catching a handful of bass, perch, and crappie each time. One of 5 bass I got yesterday:
Last night went out on upper Potomac in search of Walleye and catfish. My wife kept catching eels while slow trolling a crawler harness. We managed some decent flatheads the biggest only 31" and a couple keeper walleye the biggest was 24".
forgive my ignorance but can you eat/keep that eel?
We were talking about that today... we fished south, near Swan Pt, heard the early bite yesterday was good fish, but the tide was a little late this morning and we were catching shorts til the tide started to ebb, once it did, we caught a limit of fish in the mid 20's in about an hour... it was a melee for a while there..We went out to poole's island over the weekend. We were fishing on the bottom with cut bait. I was expecting to maybe get lucky with a 22' fish. Boy was I surprised when we were hooking up with 34' plus fish all day.

Fried eel is pretty damned tasty, but they are a bit of a bugger to skin. They also make great crab bait and we live line them for stripers (the little sand eels) later in the summer. Stick em in a bucket of ice, it makes em less fussy and easier to hook up.Far as I know, yes.
