Potomac Blue Cat Fishing

[Dsmdave]

Fresh as it gets. He will let you know when he has them and they were caught that morning.

Love to have some fresh gizzard shad- I live in Southern Maryland- where is this seafood and bait shop located- contact info? And if anyone wants to eat really big Blue catfish you are welcome to all of mine- I do not keep anything over 30 inches so let me know- last week was slow but big fish...I like 18-20 inch fish the best...Mattawoman Creek is pretty clean from a pollution stand point...IMO much safer to eat fish from there than mainstream Potomac

If anyone decides to pick up fresh bait, please pick me up some as well. I will kindly reimburse you. Thank you Dave for the information.

The shop is right down in Benedict by the boat ramp. The page is t.f.t.r. Bait and seafood on Facebook. Also I picked some up today so I may have extra if y'all can't make it down to them.

Thanks- Benedict is about 8 or 9 miles from me...so it isn't a big deal for me to get down there

Sounds like we are in for a good day. I will "cash errybody ousside"!! <sic>

Me and my plus 1 are out. I just got notified by one of my sponsors that he needs me for a show. Ill be out sunday, in my spot if any of you would like to join.

[Franzel08]

Thank you for the invite. I think I may do the CCA bluecat tourney this year so I may see you then. I am not sure if I am going by kayak as of yet. I think I want to though.

[D3NAL1]

I spoke to them abou the tournament. They are planning on having one this year, just havent finalized a date yet. I just hope its better than last year. It was horrible weather.

[Franzel08]

Fishing in the rain during the summer isn't so bad. Fishing in the rain in the winter...not so much! I was on the fence last year until I saw the weather report.

I'm not going to be able to make this one gents. Apparently there's a museum in D.C. we haven't visited yet. Ya'll catch some big'uns!

For you frequenters, just wondering how fast (speed of water flow) does the tide move through Mattawoman? Anything like the main river?

It has been awhile for me, but the currents from what I remember were nothing like the current at Marshal Hall. The current is pretty tame in the that protected water shed. It is protected enough that there is a kayak rental shop at the ramp.

I should be there between 9:30am and 10:00am for those who are coming.

Cool, thanks! I'll be there around the same time.

Hope you guys catch a bunch in the eating size range, and in the "look at that nasty thing!" size range. Stay safe out there on the cold water!
