The trips with Capt. David Bruchey can run from various locations. You can depart from Smithsburg, PA, Point of Rocks, MD, and Harper’s ferry boat ramp, WV. You will be fishing the Potomac River, concentrating on fat Smallies.

His boat is a 17’ Sea Ark aluminum fishing boat that’s powered by a single Mercury engine. She’s equipped with all the necessary safety gear and navigation electronics to make sure you’re on the fish at all times. She’s nimble enough to navigate very narrow waters, and has enough room aboard for up to 2 prospective anglers.

You will fish aboard a 17.5’ Lowe Pathfinder originally built in 2017 and powered by a 65 HP Mercury jet motor. This boat increases your fishing capabilities, allowing you to fish the rocky reaches of the Upper Potomac with ease. On board you will find St. Croix rods, Ardent reels, Sunline fishing line, and a variety of lures. You will target your catch by spinning and baitcasting with light tackle.
