Here are a few of the species that have been known to swim the waters of our Nations Capital:
Fishing for blue catfish on the DC shores of the Potomac River offers an exciting and rewarding experience for anglers of all skill levels. Known for their size and strength, blue catfish thrive in the Potomac’s deep waters, especially near the capital’s iconic landmarks. Whether you’re casting from the shoreline or setting out on a boat, the river’s diverse ecosystem provides an ideal habitat for these impressive fish. As you enjoy the serene surroundings of Washington DC, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of battling a blue catfish, making it a must-try adventure for anyone looking to explore the area’s rich fishing opportunities.

Matt our Captain was phenomenal. I did not want our trip to end. Such a perfect way to spend a Friday evening, we saw monuments, got local history, and the best views. I cannot recommend taking a trip with Reflections DC more, just an amazing evening. Thank you!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Gabriel Nieves Ponce2023-10-09I booked this trip to celebrate my wifeâs birthday. I was afraid we wouldn't be able to make the trip since the weather was turning for the worse. Right from the start, Captain Ju was very accommodating. He constantly updated me about the weather conditions and the status of our trip. Luckily, the skies cleared up, and we were able to enjoy our trip. The trip itself is well worth the money, but what truly set it apart was Captain Ju's personality and deep knowledge of the area and its history. Captain Ju made sure to inform us about safety protocols, the itinerary of the trip, and what we could expect at each juncture. All in all, this was the highlight of our date. Highly recommended!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Daniel Adu2023-09-19Great all around experience. Katie was our skipper and did an amazing job. Jerry the owner followed up with us to make sure the cruise went smoothly. Highly recommend cruising with this company, I will be again.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Tooca Fardanesh2023-09-09Had the best afternoon on Jerryâs boat! He couldnât be friendlier and more knowledgeable about the DC area. We were taking my sisterâs puppy with us and he went out of his way to text us and see if we wanted to push the cruise to later in the afternoon so it wouldnât be too hot for the dog (every though he doesnât start cruises that late). Everything was perfect, can wait to go back!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.The Bainton Family2023-08-18Great way to go sightseeing around DC - Wharf, National Monument, Lincoln Memorial, DCA, watergate and Georgetown! Not only you can see the historical buildings, but Jerry does a great job on telling stories behind it. He truly is the most gracious host. Totally recommend to do this if you are a local and trying to find other things to explore dc or a tourist who wants to see some of the historical places from the water.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Kylie Curtis2023-08-01Had a great day on the water with Jerry!

Although we are DC locals, our family of four thoroughly enjoyed exploring DC from the water and learning more about the place we live. The boat was small, but there was plenty of room and it made for an intimate experience. Definitely recommend!
