North or south of DC? Many years ago we used to fish for small mouth in the Potomac just south of the Blue Plains treatment plant!! Launched from GW Pkwy on VA side. Lots of fish, used spinners and plastic worms....but of course we wouldn't try to eat any of them (I think they'd glow in the dark haha).

You eat the blue cats you catch in the Potomac?

we don’t eat them, we fish on the va side from DCA to occoquan, occasionally in the tidal basin. We haven’t done much bass we should try. Shad are fun and about to be here here’s a couple more. That’s about the biggest carp I’ve seen
