Blue Catfish
For anglers seeking a heavyweight challenge, the blue catfish in the Patuxent River near Upper Marlboro offer a thrilling experience. This river system holds a substantial population of these whiskered giants. While they can be caught year-round, the warmer months tend to be more productive, particularly from late spring through summer. Target deep holes, channels, and areas with submerged structure. Cut bait, such as menhaden or gizzard shad, is a proven bait choice. A sturdy rod and reel are essential, as these fish can reach impressive sizes. A local tip is to fish at night, when the catfish are often more active. Public access points along the Patuxent offer bank fishing opportunities, but a boat provides access to a wider range of fishing spots. Be prepared for a fight; blue catfish are known for their powerful runs. The Patuxent River offers a good opportunity to land a trophy-sized blue catfish relatively close to the urban areas of Maryland.
