Pacemaker Fishing Forum

My son wanted to catch something big, so we launched in the Potomac and motored up toward Ft Washington. Needless to say it was so windy and rough that we couldn't get the anchor to stick, so we lowered our sights and moved to Mattawoman Cr. I had picked up some mullet from an Asian grocery for bait so we had to use it. We launched at Matingly Park and went a few hundred yards down the creek and anchored on the edge of a 20' hole. First bait over had a fish before the second was cast. We ended up with a cooler full of eating sized blue and channel cats along with these brutes.

First a 38 that destroyed a shimano reel


Then a 28 that nearly took out another shimano


He caught his monsters after all
