Thought this was going to be a chill night of catfishing. Nope. The Piscifun Lumicat E rods clocked in with those Triple City Angler Takedown Rigs and turned it into a full on fish factory. First fish hit before I even finished setting up, and it never really slowed down. Doubles, almost triples, rods bending […]

Fishing Chaos On The River Ends With A Surprise Catch!
Nonstop night bite. I landed 11 catfish with two quick double ups and a 20 lb kicker, all on grape chicken and eel. I set up in a new spot, dropped fresh rigs, and started alternating baits, eel then chicken. Rods bent almost right away. Four fish came in the first 10 minutes, then a […]
Night Catfishing on the Potomac: Red vs Black Lights Test for Better Bites (with flathead catfish insights)
We finally had a window to chase blues on the Potomac, put our boat lighting to the test, and rack up a pile of fish. Water sat at a toasty 87°, storms grumbled to the north in Maryland, and we set up over a 60 to 70 foot hole with one goal, get bites while […]

Started with a Worm: 17 Fish and 7 Species on the Potomac (New-to-Us Bumping)
I set out with Coop to try something different. We launched with nothing but worms and a plan. Catch our own bait, grab dinner on light tackle, then run upriver and try bumping for flatheads for the first time. Light wind, about 5 mph, set the tone for a full day of fishing and a […]
Taking Libby bluecat fishing on the Potomac for the first time
Tonight’s fishing trip on the Potomac was something special. Libby, my wife’s best friend, joined us for the first time ever on our boat and for bluecat fishing. With my wife and daughter out of town for a softball tournament in Colorado, we decided to give Libby a proper introduction to the sport. Spoiler alert: […]
What a night!
Last night on the water was EPIC. It was one of the most fun times Coop and I have had on the water in a long time. You name it and it probably happened last night. Everything from bringing a guest out on the boat (need a bigger boat to do that again), to getting […]
