Maryland's Who's who!
Hey all, got a quick question here? I live in Southwest Pa but will be working in Frederick during the summer. Is there any good bass spots around the area. I have fished Cunningham Falls a few times here, was wondering if anything else was in the area. Any and all information would be appreciated. Thanks.

That Was Nice
I had my first real fishing trip since July yesterday. Caught 3 bass shorefishing on craw colored marabou jig in 1/4 ounce size. Nothing special sizewise, 8 to 15 inches. Work has been killing me, finally nice to get a few days off to go fishing.

Canoe Creek Lake Pa.
Wow, nice fish. Never had anything close to that on Canoe Creek. Way to go.

Best Hours For Night Fishing?
In my experience, I have done well from about an hour before sunset until dusk, then it seems to slow down until about midnight , then it picks back up until 3 or 4.

Favorite Deer Calibre
I personally use a 30-06 for centerfire hunting, but I really want to get a deer with the flintlock.

Cast & Blast
I hunt squirrel and grouse near the river, throw a rod in with the shotgun/.22, hunt from sun up till about 11 or so, then go down the river and fish smallies. Makes for a nice day.

Dipping Snuff
You aren't the only one who spent a new boat's worth of money on Cope, lol. I really need to try to quit again, after I finish what is in my fridge, going to try again I guess.

How often do you re-spool?
All I use is mono, I change once a month or every other month, depending on how often I fish with it. Sooner if needed.

Your Big Spot
A power plant discharge. I occasionally see the people there, but they are always the same 2 or 3. You have to walk a ways in, but I always catch many bass there, including some big ones. The walk and the fact that the water looks like pea soup I'm guessing makes people think it ain't worth it.

Favorite Shotgun
Winchester 1300 12 ga. with a 24 inch barrel for hunting squirrel and grouse. Remington 870 Express 20 ga. with a 28 inch barrel for pheasant and dove. Baikal IZH27 o/u 12 ga. with a 28 inch barrel for trap shooting.

Dipping Snuff
I have dipped for 17 years now. I know it is going to catch up to me(has started somewhat, I have really bad teeth) but I just really like the flavor of Copenhagen. I tried quitting before, missed the flavor more than the nicotine. I was fine without nicotine after a day or two, but couldn't live without the flavor. Never found anything close to that taste unfortunately.

Biggest Fish You've Hooked?
Not a DD, but the biggest bass I ever seen in PA. I was on a dam wall about 5 ft above the water. Using a propbait, evening time. That bass exploded on it. Actually had it all the way in, it shook it's head and got off as I was trying to get it up the wall. I would guess 8-9 lb, not too exciting for southern guys, but that is an absolute beast here.

Monofilament
Trilene XT, all I ever really used and never had a problem with it, so I stick with it.

South Carolina Fishing
I am gong to be working in Anderson, SC for a few weeks. Hopefully, I get a little bit of time to fish and was wondering about any places nearby to fish there. Will only have a Shakespeare Ugly Stik 2 piece spinning combo with 10 lb mono, and a small tackle bag with a few topwaters, some shallow and mid dpth cranks, and a few soft plastics(Senkos and Brush Hogs). Any advice and ideas where to fish would be appreciated.

Do you hunt?
Hunt deer with a centerfire rifle and flintlock. I also hunt a variety of small game(squirrel, pheasant, grouse, rabbit and occasionally dove).
