About Tidal Potomac
The tidal Potomac is its own regulatory universe under the Potomac River Fisheries Commission. Structure-rich upper reaches hold tidal largemouth, blue cats run huge, and the river is the mid-Atlantic snakehead capital. Both VA and MD anglers fish it under PRFC rules.
What people fish for here
What anglers are reporting
Lower Bay. Getting out to fish on the lower Bay has been difficult for the past three weekends, but there are excellent fishing opportunities in between. Anglers are enjoying excellent fishing for bluefish this week. Trolling a mix of spoons and surge tube lures has been the most popular and effective way to catch them. The mouth of the Potomac, the Target Ship area and the Middle Grounds are all good places to find them. Make sure to bring plenty of ice to keep them firm in an ice chest. Once they get soft from not being iced, there is no way to firm them up again.
