Cat Daddy Fishing Charter
If you're ready to discover fishing on the lower Potomac River, look no further than Cat Daddy Fishing Charter. Captain Gene will be your guide, so you'll benefit from years of angling experience.
You will be fishing for Blue Catfish, we can fish for small eating size and fish for a chance of catching a monster Blue Catfish. You can keep them under 15lbs, and they are best for eating, over that we will take a picture and release it.
You will find yourself fishing with top of the line Anvil rods paired with Penn reels heavy tackle, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. You're welcome to bring snacks! i do have a heater for the winter months.
Your fishing machine for the day is a 24' Hewescraft Searunner with capacity for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a bucket toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle and bait are included. I do have a heater for the winter months.
There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
It's always wise to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. You can bring a cooler smaller then 50qt size

If you’ve never gone with your kids, GO now. If your wife thinks she wont enjoy it, go. Have friends in from out of town, GO. What a great day! I grew up on this river and after promising my kids for over 20 years; we finally DID it. Wife said no way, scared of fish monsters; she LOVED it. We didn’t expect to catch much in the late June spawn, but Capt’n Mumma put us DEAD on the cats, and everybody landed >10lb and a pair of near 30’s! Breaking Capt’ns record since April. He works hard doing everything for you. Just reel em in and pose after weigh-in. The wife embarked hating ugly catfish thinking they look too much like sharks. She disembarked a catfish fan and proclaimed they are very cute (we have a bulldog). 4 hours X 6 friends is a perfect outing. Bonus trip up river to DC was beautiful and made it better. I’ll be back with the boys end of August when the action heats up even more. My wife plans on booking a late evening Ladies-Night with the girls from work very soon. So should you. So take your wife and kids (or girlfriend) on a trip asap before they discover how fun and easy this is and there is no room for you. And….my adult kids said “Thanks Dad”. Thanks Capt’n Mumma, we’ll see ya soon.
Went on a day trip with Gene 12/30. Myself, wife, and 3 kids. Have been out with countless guides and Gene is cream of the crop. Has a fantastic all weather rig. Was great and informative with the kids. Not the hottest day of fishing but that’s how it goes. Definitely wasn’t from his lack of effort and out one of my boys on his PB. 41# blue! Won’t hesitate to take another trip with him when out that way!

didnt get into em heavy but we landed 4 fish on a 4 hour trip, and kept us out a little longer than he had too. captain gene did a great job of keeping us on fish they nuat were bighting loke crazzy.

My wife, son and myself have been fishing with gene on his boat 3 or 4 times now. We always catch fish when we go and we have a great time. He is very laid back and personable, not to mention his boat and tackle are top notch and clean. He always gives us a full day of fishing (8 hours) for a very fair price compared to most charters. My wife caught a 42 pounder on a trip a couple years back and we always catch a good amount each time we go. It’s a yearly ritual to take a trip fishing and always enjoy ourselves. Looking forward to going a couple times this year!

Captain Gene goes above and beyond to make your fishing a unforgettable experience, he treats everyone good and is a very family friendly Captain. His trips leave memories that last a lifetime and he is a very knowledgeable person when it comes to fishing. He's very good with helping entertain the kids as well as teaching all the techniques of rigging and catching fish. I will hands down recommend him as a guide everytime. Customer friendly, and amazing prices and experiences to last a lifetime.
I have been out with Captain Gene multiple times. It’s always a blast. I have 4 trips booked for this year due to telling friends about it and showing them photos of the catch. Would highly recommend. He’s very knowledgeable and lets you catch the bait and net the fish if you want. It’s not like going for rock fish and the guides setting the hook and handing you the rod like you do a little kid. Awesome trip would highly recommend.

I’ve booked numerous trips with Gene, never have I been left down. Gene is very knowledgeable , puts you on the fish , and it makes for a great day on the water. I’ve taken my daughters , nieces and nephew and they’ve all had a wonderful time. I highly recommend for a trip that you will have a blast and leave you wanting to book again before you get off his boat. Thanks Captain Gene for the awesome trips. See ya soon
We have been out on several trips and it has always been a great time. We have done trips from a guys day out on the water to family trips to daddy & daughters trips. Gene is always accommodating for whatever trip we want to do. We have had great success and have always been out on the fish.

Captain Gene knew exactly where to set up for the cats. Had a great day.
It was my teen boys' first time fishing and they had a blast. Captain Gene was very knowledgeable and patient with my novices, and helped them catch a lot of catfish to include an 18-pounder.
