Not Time to Retire the Tackle Yet

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Lower Potomac

Myself, Craig Harlow, and Steve Polock fished the lower Potomac on a flood tide with fresh cut bait. Caught about 300 lb of invasive Blue Catfish in 2 hours of fishing. Two fish were pushing 50 lbs. As long as you can find fresh bait, I would think that the cats will be biting. Find a flat on the lower Potomac around 10 to 20 feet deep and help remove these delicious fish from the river. We like to cut into fingers and deep fry.
