Moonlight Catfishing

Type: Nontidal
Region: Central
Location: Riley's Lock in Poolesville, MD

I went catfishing with my wife on Friday night. The weather was bit chilly as it got darker and the Potomac River was very calm. It was very calming after a week of work and allowed me to unwind and enjoy nature. I caught 3 channel or blue catfish during this outing. I caught and released a PB blue catfish of 7.74 pounds. Caught it while using the Team Catfish Secret 7 dip bait. I hope to come back and venture closer to the warm water discharge from the power plant up river. I'd like to do this in the late fall/early winter and try my luck at catfishing with some friends.
