CREEKSIDE ANGLERS FISHING TRIPS
2009 Creekside Anglers Fishing Trips and Outings
April 26, 2009 - Shad Fishing with Sandy Burke, Fletcher's Boathouse, Washington DC.
Fish for American Shad & Hickory Shad in the Potomac River at Fletchers Boat
House, Washington, D.C., with Sandy Burk, Creekside Anglers club member and
expert on shad. Anglers will need to arrive early and purchase their DC
fishing license for the event. The shad run deep, so a full-sinking line
on a 7-8 wt. is recommended. Stripers are possible too. Spinfishing gear
can also be used with heavier shad darts.
Contact Sandy at 301-502-8833 or sandyburk2@aol.com to have her reserve a rowboat for you.
