Jonah Kapp of King George reeled in a good stringer of eating size blue cats on the Rapp. Fishing is entering the summer pattern around the Northern Neck. This heat spell we had put the clamps on some of the fishing unless fishing early and late.
On the Potomac below the 301 bridge there are some small croaker being caught. We also have reports from Aqua Land Marina of striped bass being caught around the bridge. Catfish are plentiful on the river too. Upriver there are gar, catfish and snakeheads in the grass. Bass are hitting frogs and finesse worms in the grass. Don't pass up on any snakeheads. Crabs are slowly coming on in the river for those interested.
On the Rappahannock, the catfish are hitting very well. Catfish Kelly's Country Store on Rt. 3 at Ferry Farm (www.facebook.com/catfishkellys/) told us about that. Local angler Jonah Kapp got his fill of blue catfish on a recent outing. See the picture...
Bass are hitting in ponds but the fishing is best at low light. Some really nice bluegill and sunfish are hitting now too. Look for smallmouth to be hitting in the upper river in shady areas or at low light.
