Both boats iare the perfect platform for anglers of all levels—from first-timers looking to learn the basics to seasoned pros chasing their next big catch. Trips can be tailored for families, friend groups, corporate outings, or solo adventures.

Cooler weather? Midday action? Evening bite? You pick the vibe—we'll make it happen. All you have to do is show up, cast out, and enjoy the ride.

AND WHATEVER YOU DO… NO BANANAS ON THE BOAT 🍌

Birthday Catch!
Weekend Daytime Trips - 11:00 AM on July 12, 20264 adults1 child

This was a great experience for our family. We wanted a local fishing experience where we could reel in a “big one “ and just enjoy being out on the water. Seth helped us bring in a hugh blue catfish about 10 minutes into the trip! We fished several spots and at times had multiple lines hit at the same time. We had a blast! We are looking forward to doing this with Fish the Potomac again!
