freshwater

If you're looking for a fantastic blue catfish adventure, Fruitland, Maryland, offers some prime freshwater opportunities. The Wicomico River, which flows nearby, is a local hotspot for blues. These fish thrive in the river's depths, often reaching impressive sizes. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when the catfish are most active. Night fishing can be particularly productive. For bank access, try the areas around the Route 13 bridge or explore the public lands along the river. A pro tip: fresh cut bait, especially menhaden or gizzard shad if you can get it, is irresistible to these big cats in the Wicomico. Be prepared for a fight – these fish are strong! The local blue catfish population is healthy, with a good mix of smaller and trophy-sized fish, offering a rewarding experience for anglers of all skill levels.
