Be on the lookout for large Catfish, especially close to bridge pilings. A slip-sinker rig is the best way to fish them out of their holes.

Part of the Potomac River near the Washington Sailing Marina is a good place to drop a line during the first few months of the year. Expect Largemouth Bass and Crappie.

Come March, you can usually catch lots of Bass just south of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. Be sure to load up on rattling crankbaits and spinnerbaits for the best odds.

The Bass fishing mania continues! Anywhere from the Blue Plains Plant area to the Woodrow Wilson Bridge is a good place to fish until you drop.

Catfish and Shad are the order of the day out near the Fletcher's Boathouse general area. Enjoy the more rustic part of Washington DC and go after some fish!

Want to visit the Lincoln Memorial? Don't forget there's some great angling to be done just minutes away for Largemouth Bass and Catfish, so bring your fishing gear.

You can find some great fishing in the grass beds of Potomac River's lower reaches. Get some topwater baits and watch those Bass go at 'em like mad.

As August rolls in, you should finally see Crappie schooling up near the Fletcher's Cove area. Small Minnows should be your weapon of choice when tackling them.

This is when the water temp starts going down. What this means is that fish will move closer to creeks, as well as be much more aggressive when feeding.

Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass continue to be hungry and out for food. The waters near the  Washington Sailing Marina are especially productive.

As winter sets in, the best places for Largemouth fishing are usually rocky or gravel banks near drop offs on the Potomac River. Show them who's boss!

You can easily find Largemouth Bass in drop offs at around 10-20 feet deep. If you don't mind heading out to Chesapeake Bay, you can treat yourself with excellent Rockfish angling.
