Blue Catfish
While Gaithersburg, Maryland, is more known for its ponds and smaller lakes, venturing a bit further to the Potomac River opens up opportunities to chase blue catfish. The tidal Potomac, with its brackish water and abundant forage, holds a healthy population of these whiskered giants. The best time to target blue catfish is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. They are most active at night, so consider night fishing for your best chance at a trophy. A key to success is using cut bait, such as gizzard shad or menhaden, fished on a Carolina rig or fish finder rig. Look for deeper holes and channels in the river, as these are prime holding areas for catfish. Be aware of the strong currents in the Potomac, and use appropriate weights to keep your bait on the bottom. A popular access point is the Seneca Creek State Park boat ramp, which provides easy access to the Potomac River.
