Default Re: Blue Catfish ?

Much of the chesapeake is very low salinity.The upper bay is loaded with fresh water fish. Its brackish for half its length,and Blue Cats tolerate brackish water. Raritan and SH bays, are salt water .. The rivers that feed them are salt or brackish for miles.. I have never seen a fresh water fish caught in Raritan or SH Bay.. I doubt Blue Cats would survive there.. Even if they did, Brown Sharks would eat a lot of . So no you won't be hooking any Blue Cats while fluking in the bay.... bob
