AUFred · 09-27-09, 09:26 PM

oldhickorybassman · 09-27-09, 09:32 PM

what kind of fish is in the second pic.??

BassMoJo · 09-27-09, 10:18 PM

long nose gar

MallenManson · 09-28-09, 09:33 AM

Nice catches, Capt!

Bassboss · 09-28-09, 04:26 PM

Nice striper! And nice ugly fish!

That's a heck ofa gar!

3dkicker · 09-28-09, 04:47 PM

What? No kitties?

If you wanted to try how many species do you think you could catch on one outing?
Largemouth
Blue cat
Channel cat
Gar
Bluegill or their cousins
Pickeral
Crappie
White perch
Yellow perch
Smallmouth
Striper
Snakehead

What else am I missing? Croaker and bluefish if you run far enough south.

Don't forget the Bowfin!

3dkicker · 09-29-09, 03:44 PM

Nope, no bowfin in the Potomac. Got them in the James and Chick though.

BassMoJo · 09-29-09, 08:14 PM

I was referring to Cap'n Mike's third pic. Sorry you got no bowfin in the Potomac...they're a blast to catch.

3dkicker · 09-30-09, 03:39 PM

For some reason I was thinking the pics were of the Potomac and it was a Snakehead but they must be from down on the Piankitank or another body of water closer to Richmond. But now that I've taken a better look....yep that's a Bowfin alright. And a baby one at that!!

You might find a muskie or two and walleye up around Great Falls or the fall line area. I know guys catch them above the fall line up at the Point of Rocks area of the Potomac but that's all fresh water up there. Not brackish like the tidal system.

Capt Mike's got a whole bunch of salt water and fresh water species to fish for on the "Pinky Stank". Add in redfish, shark, trout, blue crabs, and a host of other salt water species.

Captmikestarrett · 09-30-09, 03:42 PM

I catch walleye pretty much every year around WW bridge.

Here is one you forgot "sturgeon"

Capt Mike

3dkicker · 09-30-09, 03:47 PM

yep sturgeon. didn't put in the white catfish or the shad species too. Walleye around the bridge? Cool. Never heard about them that far down river.

Culln5 · 09-30-09, 03:47 PM

Wow.... I have never seen electric pliars let alone seen them plugged in.... LOL

nofearengineer · 09-30-09, 03:52 PM

Do you have Gafftopsail cats there? We hated the slime, but they were pretty good eating.

3dkicker · 10-01-09, 04:11 PM

Gafftopsail cats? First I've ever heard of them.

nofearengineer · 10-01-09, 04:25 PM

Well, being stuck on the causeway in Daytona Beach Shores, when the hardheads would start biting, we'd be pretty disappointed. But occasionally, we'd get a Gafftopsail. It is about the same look as a hardhead, but the dorsal fin is like 8 inches high. Like I said, they are exceptionally slimy, but tasty.

I just found out some people call them "Sailcats." Maybe you've heard of those?

3dkicker · 10-01-09, 05:14 PM

I looked them up, Google, and didn't really find anything on them except it being a saltwater species of some sort. Is it a regional name for a brackish water catfish?

nofearengineer · 10-01-09, 05:20 PM

Not very sure. Not having lived in more than two regions near the coast (Daytona, Sarasota), I couldn't tell you what they call them elsewhere. God knows the same fish can have dozens of names. Crazy fishermen.
