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
Cool October nights around Lincolnia have pushed bait shallow, and the fall bite is turning on. Expect water temps in the low–mid 60s, clearer flows after fronts, and active fish on moving water or wind-blown banks.
Largemouth bass are feeding along riprap, creek mouths, and dying grass edges on the Tidal Potomac and local ponds. Work small squarebills, chatterbaits, and finesse jigs. Crappie are stacking on brush, docks, and bridge pilings—suspend 1/16–1/32 oz jigs or minnows 6–10 ft down. For a tug-of-war, blue and channel catfish are steady on channel edges; use fresh cut bait. Remaining grass mats can still hold snakehead—frogs early, then subsurface swimbaits. On current breaks and pilings, watch for schoolie striped bass slashing bait at first light.
Best windows: first light and last hour before dark, plus an outgoing tide on the Potomac. After cold fronts, slow down with ned rigs and drop-shots in 6–12 ft.
Top tip: Match the hatch—downsize to 2–3 inch shad-profile baits and silver/white patterns when baitfish are thick; the smaller profile dramatically increases strikes in clear, cool fall water.
Best Fishing Spots in the greater Lincolnia area
