MARsSPEED

I'm likely to purchase one, hopefully in the next month. I live near a private 500 acre lake in Maryland which it will be perfect...I've watched at least a dozen reviews on this thing and read others. All say they are extremely durable a stable. Me being a bigger guy really likes the fact I can both stand and sit on a comfortable level. The "Roundabout Watercraft" can be had for $1400 and comes with a 55Lb Minnkota and seat. They seam to be very customizable. It seems like it is better than the Ultra Skiff and less expensive. You can also purchase a hitch carrier($285) or throw it in the back of your truck and go to other local waters.

Almost got myself a state record Rock Bass today! This little girl was only 11" long but weighed 1lb 5oz on my scale. Maryland state record is 1lb 8oz...I don't know if it was full of eggs or just on a binge? Heck of a little fighter too!

Just got a message/pic from a friend that fishes Lake Linganore as well. They pulled this beast out today. Measured 25" long and 18" around. I hope I hook into one these girls this year!

Good Afternoon! Permits are only $40 for the year, electric motors only. I do not know what documents are needed. Here is a link below: https://www.lakelinganore.org/member-services/ Linganore is a great fishery. I don't have a place to keep a boat but really wish I did...

So I never got to go last year but we just booked our trip April 9th through the 16th of this year. Any additional pointers would be helpful. I will likely be fishing from shore and maybe go out on with a captain one day. Thanks again for all of your help!

Hit the dam up at Linganore today. Caught 5 different species of fish including a tiny smallmouth. Still haven't caught any LM larger than 14". The main lake is still too cold as I have hit some familiar areas with no hits what so ever.

Will, are you a member at Linganore? I usually throw jigs this time of year. Just a 4" Zoom Fat Albert Grub Black & Red flakes also works well.

Hey Guys! I haven't gotten out in over a week but I did go to the DNR Fishermen's Challenge Finale today at Sandy Point State Park. They gave away over $50k in prizes today. Unfortunately my name was not drawn... A twelve year old won the grand prize, a brand new Tracker Boat setup with trailor. He was extemely ungrateful and said he would rather have won the $2500 check. He was also very rude to the MC who was asking questions. I am still in shock from witnessing this. I would have jumped out of my shoes if I had one a new boat! Hope you all had a great weekend.

Just started Crappie fishing myself. I only use one lure however. It's the 1.75" Bill Lewis Ratl trap and I use different colors depending on water clarity. So far I have caught 5 different types of specie on it including a 22" LMB. I caught this last night which is my largest crappie to date.

Nice fish, looks like a golf couse you were fishing. Where was this at in Gaitherburg?

Seems like July is always the best month fishing for me. Caught this yesterday in one of the creeks that feeds into Linganore. I am still trying to find the smallmouth on the lake but that may not happen until I have a boat/kayak...

Caught my largest of the year last Thursday evening on a 1.5" Bill Lewis Trap! Weighed at 5lbs 7oz. and just under 22".

Just saw my first one last week in a feeder branch going to the Choptank. Didn't catch one though.

So I caught my largest of the year yesterday which happened to my B-day. Only Bass I caught and it was on 1.5" Bill Lewis Ratl Trap. Just about 22". Weighed 5lb 7oz on my new scale. (About time I got one)

Plugs, Spooks, and inline spinners.

I caught some channel cat with Gummi Bears while on vacation. I will try this at my local lake. It is possible the carp will eat these as well. Will let you know.

Sad but true story....One adult(passed) and 8 teens (lived). Caught in the high current from the heavy rains over the weekend. Nobody is sure why they went to the dam side of the lake when they owner lived near the bridge. I think it is the 3rd death at Linganore in 10 years. The pontoon is still stuck in the rocks of the bottom of the dam and will likely be there for awhile.

Good to know. Sounds how like how things have been at my local Maryland reservoir as well. Have me thinking maybe I'll stop by there after work today.

Have all of Sunday afternoon and evening to fish this Sunday. It will likely be my longest day of the year...not sure if I want to stick to Lake Linganore or try my luck somewhere else. I am intrigued by Liberty for some reason. A lot of nice reports coming out of there as of late. Maybe rent a boat at Piney Run? I would really like to find some good fishing for smallies from the bank. I'm not too big on wading as I fell down in the Potomac and cut my hand open(15 stitches at the hospital plus a wonderful scrubbing) a few years ago.

I pulled a pontoon boat to shore the other day. The guys motor burned up almost 100' out and he had no paddle. I threw on a heavy jig, cast out to him, put the hook in a towel and I pulled him in! Best thing was I only was using 15lb braid.

Nice catch! I am still waiting for my first 5lber this year.

Bueller?

Charlie Brewer's Pro Sliders FTW!

So I caught this small Largemouth yesterday with the most intense colors on it. Never seen anything like it. Its bottom had an awesome copper color while the rest had some metallic greens and silver. Please feel free to post some of your great and favorite photos instead of your PB's. Although small, one of my favorite catches!
