Lazy summer afternoon report
Hot summer afternoon onthe Potomac near Algokian
Did not feel like working for fish, so I took some of the frozen herring left over from
fishing at Flecthers this spring and took a nap. Which was interupted by several channel cats. Total of 5 the largest was 25"

Nice boat you got! How did you set up to troll and how fast did you go?

Re: Lazy summer afternoon report
That is too cool! 
What a great way to relax!
Yesterday, while walking around Cedar (well, 50 yards on either side of my house) in the heat, I thought about how nice it would be if I was in a boat! I should keep one of my yaks "docked" at the water's edge!

Time to go fishin' again!

MEOW! Those things are just nasty looking...but I see them all the time in Goose Creek as well as the Upper Potomac.
At the end of the July 4 float, we saw a guy with a stringer of 5 cats that he took home with him. Thankfully they were only cats and not smallies or lmb.
If it were easy, they'd call it catching!

I anchored above a hole that is around 5' when the river is at 1.5' at point of rocks

Jeff,
How do you locate catfish "holes"? Do you have a depth finder or something like that to find them? Were you far from the Algonkian Park boat launch?
Have you ever done any catfishing at Beaver Dam before? I heard there is good catfish populations there.

When the water is clear, you can see the deeper holes. i have learned where the holes are by floating down the river many times. There is a real nice one very close to the ramp. I won't post excact location but will show you some time.
i have not catfished at Beaver dam

Re: Lazy summer afternoon report
catfish are everywhere, but tend to like to hangout in deeper holes on hot sunny days, but they will venture out to feed.
excellent way to spend an afternoon jeff
I really like that closeup shot
now it's yesterday!
