    Birthday Catch!

    Weekend Daytime Trips - 11:00 AM • 5 adults • 1 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!
