Quick fishing report here:

 

Drove down to Germantown Lake today in search of new bass.  It's located in Faulkier County, about an hour from DC.  

 

After putting in the kayak I made my way around half of the lake over the span of 5 hours.  I'll tell ya, I've never been so skunked in my life.  The bite didn't pick up until evening, and even then, HUGE bass were biting the topwater all around me, but I wasn't able to sell a single bite.  It was one of those "throw the tackle box at them" evenings; guess I need a bigger tackle box.  

 

Somebody on these forums once mentioned fish at Germantown Lake are "very finicky."    Truer words have never been spoken.  

 

The mosquitos were horrendous, probably on account of the thick salad covering large parts of the lake.

No question there are some large bass in there.
