The blue catfishing is still going strong and keeping anglers in the middle bay region busy. The bite in the middle bay region starts right at the bay bridge channel edges and moves to the mouth of the Patapsco river. Sandy point is still the best spot to target them from the shore line in the Annapolis area and North point state park is also producing some good blue cats just north of the Patapsco river. The mount of the Magothy river is still a great spot for anglers anchoring up in about 10-15 foot of water and chunking bunker or shad chunks on the bottom. Remember to use circle hooks any where from 6/0- 9/0 depending on your bait size.
Shad fishing was good for most of the week in the Potomac but it slowed down during the start of the week because of muddy water and high current. The better places to target them where Mattawoman creek and Patuxent river. There is still a good amount of white perch been caught in the upper part of the Patuxent river mixed with some American shad. Shad darts tandem with a trailing spoon are still the best lures to target shad.
