I've eaten a few catfish taken West of Whites ferry. Mostly west of 81 these days. Bass are always CPR . We did keep a couple of big walleyes a few yrs back from the Shepherdstown area.
Who's getting in some fishing?

Don't eat anything from Anacostia. And limit your monthly consumption to 3-4 meals. There was some DNR page with recommendations based on the fishing location.

I don't think I'd want to eat anything out of any tidal waters in this region.

Not for this guy(allergic) I wouldn't want to eat something that's been snacking on all the bodies in the harbor anyway.

Eating crabs has become a once or twice a year deal for me nowadays.

Went to Deep Creek Lake over the weekend. Crazy weather. 75deg out and sunny. 50's at night. The water temp was 67deg. Not a normal weather pattern for this time of year. The fishing was off. With that clear water you do better fishing on colder cloudy and windy days. With that said we did catch fish. Bass, perch, pike, and walleye. They all came out of the grass less than 10ft. deep. Still seems like a summer pattern. Did I mention all the damn boaters and jet skiers. That was the part I hated most. I saw a pontoon boat that had a 400hp outboard on it. Unbelievable....

That is why I stay in skinny water only accessible by canoe/kayak
Were the docks still in?
Flipping around docks(can't go under most cuz they're floating) with plastic crawls is deadly, even on sunny days.
Unfortunately, all the idiot cabin owners have dragged all the old stumps out of the reservoir to use as landscape ornaments. They used to be great structure.

All of the docks are still in along with the boats. Docks don't have to be pulled until November. A lot of the bass fishermen I saw were beating the docks but most weren't catching much. I spent a little time on the docks but didn't catch anything either. I here that is the go to pattern on hot sunny days.
Sometimes, the fish will hang just off(other side of the boat) the docks, especially when fishing pressure is heavy.
DCL is definitely an early morning bite. Once the rec. boaters hit the water, that's about it, as I'm sure you know.

My buddy caught a few rockfish, I’m yakking it Saturday morning.
I'm going up there for Thanksgiving, might bring a rod with me just in case it's decent weather
It will be all shore fishing. Docks will have been pulled by then.

The fishing should be good then. A good place is from the rocks under the 219 Bridge. Especially at night under the lights.

The docks will be all pulled but you can still launch a boat from the ramp in the state park and go fishing. I have been there late in the year in the middle of a snow storm and was catching fish. Those days are over for my old ass now. I am not that hardy anymore. lol.
