Why Fish at Night?

Night fishing on the Potomac offers several advantages over daytime trips:

  • 🎣 Better Bite Action: Many species, especially blue catfish and striped bass, feed more aggressively after dark.

  • 🌡️ Cooler Temperatures: Avoid the blazing sun and enjoy a comfortable evening breeze.

  • 🚤 Less Boat Traffic: Calmer waters mean less noise and a more relaxed experience.

  • 🌆 Scenic Views: DC’s iconic monuments and bridges look stunning lit up at night.
