If you're looking for some serious whiskered action, Willards, Maryland, offers surprisingly good blue catfish fishing. The Pocomoke River, which flows near Willards, is known to hold a healthy population of these hard-fighting fish. The best time to target them is generally from spring through fall, when the water temperatures are warmer. Look for deeper holes and channel edges, especially near structure like submerged logs or bridge pilings. Cut bait, such as gizzard shad or menhaden, is a popular and effective choice. Heavy tackle is a must when targeting blue catfish; these fish can grow to impressive sizes. A local tip: some anglers have success using live eels as bait. Be prepared for a strong fight, as blue catfish are known for their powerful runs. Remember to handle these fish with care, as they have sharp spines. While not every cast will produce a monster, the Pocomoke River offers a realistic chance at landing a memorable blue catfish.
