freshwater

Channel catfish are a readily available target near Morningside, MD, with numerous freshwater locations holding healthy populations. Focus your efforts on the larger ponds and reservoirs in the area, as well as the tidal portions of the Patuxent and Potomac Rivers. Summer is a prime time for catfish, especially during the evening and nighttime hours when they are most active. Stink baits, cut bait, and nightcrawlers are all effective. A good strategy is to find areas with submerged structure, such as fallen trees or riprap, as these provide cover for catfish. A local tip is to use a slip bobber rig to keep your bait just off the bottom, especially in areas with heavy vegetation. Be prepared for some hefty fish, as the channel catfish in these waters can reach impressive sizes.
