freshwater

Barclay, Maryland, offers some increasingly exciting blue catfish opportunities, primarily in the tidal portions of the Sassafras River. The blue catfish population has been expanding in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and the Sassafras is a beneficiary. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through fall. Blues tend to congregate in deeper channels and holes, especially near structure like bridge pilings or submerged timber. Cut bait, particularly menhaden or gizzard shad, is the bait of choice. A practical tip for fishing the Sassafras: be prepared for strong currents, especially during tidal changes. Heavy weights are essential to keep your bait on the bottom. Also, consider using circle hooks, as they tend to result in better hookups and are less likely to gut-hook the fish. Be aware of size and creel limits, which can change, so verify before you go.
