We had a nice patch of warmer weather pass through mid-Maryland this past weekend. Sunshine and temps in the mid-50s. So I got out to the old Annapolis reservoir, Waterworks Park, for a couple hours on Saturday afternoon.

I slow cranked a Norman Middle N (chartreuse) in the deep end near the dam and landed 2 nice black bass. Picture is of the larger of the two.

Definitely took care of any winter blues I was having and gave me good reason to justify winter fishing to the wife.

How good of a place is that to fish, I live close by and would like a new haunt to try. PM me if you want, I just moved down to crofton from glen burnie.

Nice catch! I am yet to get out this year, due to ice. But its good to see someones catching them!

It's decent and can be hit or miss. Those were the first bass I've landed from there (had one throw a lure last time). I've caught good sized crappie in the past also. I only started going there this past summer. Summer bite was tough. There's pictures posted at the entrance bulletin board of 5+ lbers (most look like they were caught in winter/early spring judging from the background). It's about 25 surface acres. I'm guessing its about 10 feet at it's deepest near the dam and 2 feet at it's shallowest in the north end. Good hiking trails, plus it's very easy to bank fish all around it too (all watercraft prohibited).

You need a permit from the City of Annapolis to fish there though. It's only $35 for 3 months (or $15/1 mo) and they are issued on the 15th of each month at the city recreation center in downtown.

Here's another pic from this past summer of a crappie caught at the lower end near the dam (located directly behind fish, but tough to see).
