Blue Catfish
If you're after some serious catfish action, the Potomac River near Sharpsburg, Maryland, holds a robust population of blue catfish. These fish, known for their size and aggressive feeding habits, can provide an unforgettable fishing experience. The peak season for blue catfish is typically from late spring through fall, when the water temperatures are warmer. Target areas with deep holes, strong currents, and submerged structure like fallen trees or rock piles. Cut bait, such as gizzard shad or herring, is a popular and effective choice. A local tip: focus on areas near the confluence of the Shenandoah River, as this area tends to hold a large concentration of blue catfish. Be sure to use heavy tackle, as these fish can grow to impressive sizes. Check the Maryland DNR regulations for size and creel limits, and consider practicing catch and release for the larger fish to help maintain the health of the fishery.
