Wilson Bridge 3/29

lol...I've heard of livers working...but I've always avoided using them since you have to do extra steps to keep it on the hook.

my secret bait is goose liver, stays on the hook well and cats love it, but you cant buy it, you have to shoot it.

Russ, belle haven isn't too far of a paddle from the bridge. Navionics app says 1.3 miles. I didn't look at the ramp area, but I'm sure it'll work. The dock at the bridge is about 2 feet above the water.

How far is waysons from the WW bridge?

about 30 minutes according to google maps, but its closer to the wilson bridge than my house, may try to hit both while Im down south

Gotcha. It's an hour and a half for me. If its like Saturday was, I'm not going to want to go anywhere else!

Do you know how I know your all Hobie owners?....because your using chicken breast for bait (the most expensive part of the chicken!) just kidding of course...has anyone tried chicken necks, livers? or clam snouts? just curious. My wife would shoot me if i started cutting up her chicken breasts for catfishing. Nice to hear they work though.

I only use 2 maybe 3 medium size chicken breast in a full day of fishing. I 33 catfish and missed several more last week on 2 1/2 chicken breast. It holds up pretty good on the hook.

I have not tried other parts but anything that smells bad is good catfish bait. I here beef liver is good but haven't tried it myself yet.

Taking off work to go fishing. I always take off on my birthday to go fishing. Was originally scheduled for Monday, but I rescheduled that

[MetroMan]

I'm taking off...just hoping Home Depot delivers this washing machine sometime in the afternoon instead of the early morning. I'll know my delivery window sometime tomorrow.

Union shop...

My wife is off work for spring break and I think she might have an issue with me if I took off work and spent the day with you guys instead of her. Women can be funny like that sometimes.

Good luck out there.

Not a complete rookie here but close enough. I have fished the upper Potomac countless times but never down that far south. I am very familiar with that area as I have spent plenty time fishing for beer at The Fish Market there in Old Town Alex. Love cat fishing but the upper Potomac only produces cats to a certain size and would love to try my luck at hooking something with some girth. What type of kayaks do you guys have to fish this area? I have a 10' sit in fishing kayak but always thought that it was too small for that area of the Potomac. It's great for where I fish on a regular basis but not sure about down there. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

Shady and co.,
happy birthday!
I'll have Friday off too, and it's likely I could make it down to the bridge for some cats at least for the morning. I (shamefully...i know) have to grab my fishing yak tomorrow after work and take the metaphorical shrink wrap off for the year. I haven't finished switching over my FF and gear over to that one yet, so I'll be bare-bones fishing with 1 rod and no electronics in all likelihood.
