I have been fishing on the Potomac river ( DC/Va) for stripers (small wooden boat). I am always disapointed when i catch a catfish instead of a Striper. I am using fresh cut herring(getting hard to catch) and i am getting upset when a dumb catfish takes my precious bait! The spot i fish at is pretty calm, and looks kinda swampy, but i catch alot of Stripers there. The problem is that i also catch alot of Catfish too. Should I find another spot further up stream with more current? Do Stripers prefer to stay in places with higher currents?
