July 4 is a license-free fishing day throughout Maryland, so if you have a friend or relative who doesn’t currently fish, take them out with you.
Large red drum are providing catch-and-release fishing for anglers near the mouth of the Potomac River.
White perch can be found in the tidal rivers and creeks, sometimes mixed in with spot and croaker.
All the tidal rivers have populations of blue and channel catfish, and the larger female blue catfish are showing signs of being finished with spawning; they are now on the prowl to build up body stores. .
