Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

October Fishing Report
Cooler October temps around Landover Hills have fish feeding up in the Anacostia tributaries and nearby ponds. Expect active largemouth bass around wood, riprap, and shallow grass edges, especially on the early morning and late afternoon bite. Work spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and lipless cranks along current seams; switch to a finesse jig or Ned rig when the sun gets higher.
Crappie are schooling tighter on brush and bridge pilings in the Northeast/Northwest Branches and local lakes; small twister tails or live minnows under a float produce best. Bluegill remain steady along weed edges—tiny plastics or bread balls keep rods bending for kids.
Tidal stretches near Bladensburg see a dependable channel catfish bite on cut bait. Anglers probing marsh mouths may encounter northern snakehead; cover water with swim jigs or buzzbaits during warmer afternoons. Look for improving action on falling tides and after mild, stable weather. Water is slightly stained after rains; a chartreuse accent helps.
Top tip: Track bait—if you see shad flickering, match the hatch with a 1/4–1/2 oz shad-colored lipless crank and yo-yo it off the bottom; most strikes come on the fall.
