Until the sewage spill I was fishing Belle Grove ponds and Southwest Area Park a lot. I caught my first chain pickerel (12") as well as a bunch of catfish up to about 10 pounds. Fletcher's Boat House area on the Potomac has also brought a bunch of cats mostly the 5-7 pounders but I landed my personal best, 20.5 lbs (during a triple header where my two buddys also landed a 17 and a 3 at the same time) and a 13 ,14.5, and the 12.5 in the photo. I also landed my new personal best freshwater rockfish 31" and 11 lbs. at Piney Run Reservoir. I love this weather.
