    Removing invasive blue catfish from Potomac

    4 Hour Trip – Weekdays (AM) • 1 adult

    Capt Joe and I were targeting blue catfish and snakeheads, with an occasional bass. We caught plenty of catfish and one bass. The snakeheads were nowhere to be found. Lots of fun and Capt Joe was very helpful and provided lots of good fishing tips.

    Half day trip with Captain Joseph Tinsley

    6 Hour Trip – Weekdays • 2 adults

    Joe is knowledgeable of the waters he fish. It took us some effort to get our first bigmouth bass. Before we could get frustrated, Joe either changed our location or changed our tackle. After 0 bites over couple of hours Joe got us our first Bigmouth Bass. After catch & release two bigmouth bass, we wanted to change our pace of action and Joe immediately took us to spots to catch catfish. We caught 7 catfish and reieased the small ones to fight another day. Joe helped us clean and fillet the 4 large catfish which we brought home as our trophy.

    Half day with Potomac Joe

    6 Hour Trip – Weekend • 2 adults • 1 child

    Great Trip!! 5 Stars!!! Took my son, and we had a blast. Joe was excellent. He knows where the fish are, and does everything he can to take care of his guests. Caught bass first half of the trip, then wanted to try catfish. Joe took us to the best spot - Catfish Alley! By far one of the best trips I’ve been on. Would definitely recommend Joe - I’d go with him again.

    Joe works hard to find fish that your after. Very much appreciated . Had a great day of conversations and truely enjoyed the tour of the Potomac area and here also added some good info on areas we could improve our shore fishing chances. Thanks Joe had a fun day maybe next time we hit the bigger cats we were looking for. 😀

    Cold start and very low tide made for hard fishing but Capt Joe knew where to they were and we still caught quite a few bass. Was hoping for some snakehead but hopefully that’ll be for the next trip. Capt. Joe really knew his way around the Potomac River and was a wealth to f fishing information. Will definitely book with him again.

    John was the most patient and awesome captain ever. Taught my son so many good lessons and really was a joy to be around. Highly recommend!
