Great catfish trip
5/5
We really enjoyed our trip. My 12 year old son loves fishing and had a great time. We caught some nice catfish, including a 40 pounder. Captain Owen knows a lot about the area in terms of fishing and history. Highly recommended for fishing in Washington, DC.

GREAT EXPERIENCE WITH CAPTAIN OWEN
5/5
My daughter Elizabeth and I had a fantastic morning on the Potomac River with Capital Blues on August 5th. Captain Owen was professional, knowledgeable about the area and fishing, and made sure our lines were always tended. We caught several catfish, including a 12-pounder! He was incredibly accommodating—picking us up and dropping us off at our preferred location—and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Day on the Potomac
5/5
Fishing the Potomac is a great way to enjoy the morning during a hot summer day. Captain Owen provides more than just blue catfish expertise but also shares his knowledge about the Potomac and surrounding DC landmarks. We landed our share of fish and everyone enjoyed the fish fry.

Incredible Day on the Water with Captain Chad!
5/5
We had an amazing experience on our fishing charter with Captain Chad! From the moment we stepped on board, he made us feel welcome and at ease. He clearly knows the waters and put us right on the fish — we caught more than enough catfish for dinner! Captain Chad was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient, making the whole trip fun and stress-free. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, I highly recommend booking a trip with him.
