TIDAL POTOMAC RIVER UPPER POTOMAC RIVER The river is low, some segments are a muddy green from algae blooms and nutrient overload, and overall, smallmouth bass fishing was slow. Several anglers fishing traditional smallmouth hotspots at Whites Ferry, Edwards Ferry, Lander, Point of Rocks, Brunswick and Dam No. 4 said catches consisted mainly of fish measuring five to seven inches, and very few of them. SUSQUEHANNA RIVER (PA.) Scattered catches of smallmouth bass were made by casting tiny leadheads trimmed with one-inch chartreuse twister tails and live minnows in Conowingo Lake's upper reaches. Most fish were found at the mouth of Muddy Creek upstream to Holtwood Dam, and the majority were taken after sunrise and before sundown. Lots of channel catfish in the same vicinity, most weighing one to three pounds. Bottom-fished night crawlers lured larger catfish and fair numbers of fat bluegill. Maryland TRIADELPHIA AND ROCKY GORGE RESERVOIRS It was a relatively quiet week at both impoundments, with catches consisting mainly of white perch, sunfish, channel catfish and an occasional bass.

Such was clearly the case in 1980 when a commercial freighter slammed into the landmark Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Tampa Bay. The fatal accident, in which the ship went off course in a blinding storm, shocked the nation's waterways managers into looking for ways to improve safety. One result was federal money earmarked for a special pilot project for Tampa Bay in which critical waterway measurements would be available to mariners in more detail and in a more timely manner than published tide predictions. Today, from that one pilot project in Florida has grown the Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System, or PORTS, a network of continually updated waterway measurements for some eight U.S. harbors and bays, as well as real-time water level readings for the Great Lakes.
