Right now riggings pretty simple from the boat. I'm using a slip sinker over leadered hook rig for my catfishing. I've been trying a variety of circle hooks, playing with red hooks for some color "blood" attraction. Rods are med/hvy graphites and I'm moving to saltwater-strength components (swivels etc). I'm looking for any rig ideas i.e lines, hooks etc. anyone can share so I might improve boat action in Maryland tidal rivers and the Potomac.

Carper:

I have been catfishing a creek just off the Delaware River south of Philly PA, and have been pretty consistently getting cats to about 10#. Have been using a fish-finder (slider) so I can easily adjust my weight as the tide changes. Bait of choice has been fresh bluefish chunks. I have been using gami in-line circle hooks in 1/0 and 2/0.
