If all goes well i will be hitting bh after work the next couple of evenings. With the temps the bite should really pick up

Went out this morning.  There was all kinds of activity all over the lake.  In the past few weeks it was pretty much dead still.  Today there was fish breaking the surface all over.  I even got a topwater hit.  I missed the fish but its a good sign.  Caught a nice one a little later on chartreuse spinnerbait.

Fish in the river are hitting jerkbaits fished slow.

Stopped by Black Hills this evening, good spinnerbait bite going on. Caught one 21 1/2 inch, then lost the spinnerbait. So got lazy and fished for awhile with soft plastics with no bites. Talked to Ken for a few minutes, after he left tied on another spinnerbait and proceeded to get a 21 inch then a 19 inch largemouth back to back.

What's the guess as to the water temp in the Potty near Dam 5?

Ken Penrod has a weekly fishing report for the Potomac - this sunday he said the upper potomac at Point of Rocks was 50 degrees.

i wanna come down there but i dont know where to go, its so big lol

I hit up Baker Park on my lunch hour today, and only landed my personal best largemouth. 21" and had to be close to if not a 5 pounder. Of course I got a digital scale for xmas and the batteries were dead, so I couldn't even weigh him.  He was nice and fat

 

Congrats Bill, nice fish.

 

A 21 inch largemouth will easily be 5 pounds.

 

Dramer,

 

Looking at the whole lake at once is to much to decipher. Take new bodies of water and break it down into sections, concentrate on the smaller section looking for the type of water to hold fish at that time.

Hit black hills again tonight, biggest 3 were 19.5 inches 4.8 pounds, 21 inches no weight on that one, and a 22 inch 6.28 pounds. Someone showed up after i caught the first one with a scale. Hopefully will get pics up tomorrow.

I'm glad to see I set the standard for todays fish.  Awesome catches.  After not being able to get into Black Hills on Sunday I'm itching to get down there, looks like things are really starting to pick up.  The soonest I'll get to go will be Friday if we don't get the rain, if not then, I'll try for Sunday afternoon again.

 

I'm going for some smallmouth in a creek up in Frederick, my brother checked it out today and caught one. I'm going to show him how it's done tomorrow.  You need to wade to get to the hot spots in the creek, and I'm sure the water is way to cold for that.

Here are the pictures from last night.

Awesome fish!

Great looking fish!

 

Sean, when you taking me to BH?  LOL

Nice looking fish guys. I'm gonna try to get out to big pool this week or Blair's valley with the boat and try to locate some fish. Me and my girl friend started a Facebook site for Marylanders to post up pics of fishing, hunting, shrooming, and outdoors type stuff. Check it out like if you want or post up pictures. Western MD Outdoors is the Facebook site

Sunday it was 49 at Big Slackwater.

Anyone got any info on big pool as far as how's the fishing? I was planning on trying it out for the first time on Monday around 3:30. Be my first outing on the boat this year. Trolling motor only but you can have your outboard attached correct?

Thanks in advance.

Hey y'all, new guy over here on the eastern side of moco. thinking about hitting up lake artemesia this weekend. this specific thread looks like it'll help a lot when it comes to fishing around here!

ive seen several boats out up there, dunno how it is on the lake.. i fished the beaver pond last week.. got a few bites and thought i had 2 but they got off... saw something that looked kinda big jump in the middle... i wanna start trying out using spinnerbaits.. never used them much and i see guys here have good luck with them

When I fished with Munkin, his outboard was on the boat so I think you should be ok just using the TM but with the big motor on.

Alright thanks. There's a place here I want to fish but it can't even be mounted on the boat. So looks like I won't be going there anytime soon.
