The point marking the tip of the Potomac at the Chesapeake Bay is named for Captain John Smith. The river is more than 11 miles wide, from Smith Point to Point Lookout, Md. Smith Point is known for excellent fishing for big bluefish and trout. The fishing starts each year with the arrival of bluefish in mid-April. The peak of the trout season is usually in early June. The annual Bluefish Derby is held nearby each year in Reedville. The derby has prizes of nearly $50,000.
