If you find yourself in Washington, DC and in the mood to try your hand in excellent local fishing, turn to Osprey Fishing Charters! Captain Rich Johnson is an expert in fishing Upper Potomac and Occoquan Rivers and he loves to take people out for a fun day on the water.

You will fish aboard a 17.5’ Lowe Pathfinder originally built in 2017 and powered by a 65 HP Mercury jet motor. This boat increases your fishing capabilities, allowing you to fish the rocky reaches of the Upper Potomac with ease. On board you will find St. Croix rods, Ardent reels, Sunline fishing line, and a variety of lures. You will target your catch by spinning and baitcasting with light tackle.

His boat is a 17’ Sea Ark aluminum fishing boat that’s powered by a single Mercury engine. She’s equipped with all the necessary safety gear and navigation electronics to make sure you’re on the fish at all times. She’s nimble enough to navigate very narrow waters, and has enough room aboard for up to 2 prospective anglers.

Fishing the river with a license guide that knows the water makes a big difference.  The trips provide access to the staging grounds with fresh bait that have the best chance to attract catfish of various sizes up to 60lbs.  These fish are very underrated, hard fighting and very delicious to eat.  Being said be prepared for an exciting trip.
