Are you considering fishing in the Potomac River? If so, you shall use lures if you wish to catch trout and it is better to catch trout away from the shoreline at least 50 yards and if you use live bait you only catch catfish and the bottom feeders close to shore. No, not politicians (bottom feeders). It takes a lobbyist to do that, but occasionally you can catch them.

Maybe if you put $100 bill and caste a line out there maybe you will catch a politician? Apparently the politicians also stay close to the shoreline so they are never too far away from a lobbyist, which will buy them free lunch. If the FBI really wants the cleanup Washington D.C. from corruption perhaps they should finish in the Potomac River using hundred dollar bills and pose as lobbyist. Meanwhile you probably wished to talk about fish don't you?

Well, the reason why fishing in the Potomac produces so many bottom feeders is because the River is very shallow close to the shoreline. And this makes it a great place for catfish and other bottom feeders. The trout like more room to swim in and so you have to find an area that is a little deeper and there are many such areas. If you have a good fish finder and small sonar that will certainly help. Otherwise you need to ask the locals were the best fishing is. Luckily the Potomac River has a lot of fish in it. Please consider this in 2006.
