I live about 45 minutes from Deep Creek and fish there pretty often. It's a whole different world in Garrett County.

I live in mt airy fish all the rivers and some of my friends have passes to fish liberty res so I fish there sometimes and some ponds around here and lake Linganore, ect..

Lake Linganore is bomb!

Everyone should be hitting Black Hills right now.

You need to get these guys to tell you how to get to the stickups? I know how to get there by boat but not by foot.

 

On a side note I found a high dollar topwater lure someone lost back there. If you lost one pm me and if you can identify it I will mail it back to you.

Haven't lost a topwater, but there is a really nice spinnerbait on top of water the stick ups thats about 3 foot out of the water...wind blew my line across it on the cast. Couldn't get it free.

 

There are a lot of good places, not just the stickups. Look for places with cover away from where the "easy" places to walk. The stickup are getting pounded every day, won't stay so good with that much pressure.

All the spinnerbaits I saw Saturday were in trees? Now crappie lures and bobbers were everywhere.

The lure floats on top of the water, now give it back.   Just kidding.  The only high dollar, if you want to consider it high dollar, I have is a $10 popper I bought with a bass pro gift card. The way I contribute lures to the fish Gods, I'm not spending big bucks. 

The two biggest fish I caught last Saturday (20.5" and 21.75") were both in the area that everyone refers to as the "chute". This year I have caught 5 bass in two trips at Black Hills over 5lbs. All of these fish were in areas that can be accessed by foot and all were within 12' of the bank. What I am saying is if you are trying to catch a nice fish now is the time to hit Black Hills.

one of the members on here talked about having a get together down there, id love to meet up with someone familiar with the area there to find my way around... i may try and go down this weekend on my own and see what i can find

Are there any boating restrictions at Black Hills?

^ Disregard, I found it. Electric only.

Munkin, yeah it does seem the average size in BH is going to be higher this year. Suspect the addition of yellow perch as a food source is the cause. Fish that friends and I have caught so far have been excellent.

 

Speedbead, in Maryland if it is not Deep Creek lakes are electric only. You can have your big motor in the water but just cannot start it. Makes "blast off" for tournaments a little less thrilling....

I hit the stick ups yesterday and managed to hook two 2lbers on KVD crankbait. I too, contributed a lipless crankbait and a spinnerbait to the fish Gods. 

Looks like I need to look for more lures at the stickups.

 

Allen

You can probably find a tackle box full of baits around there. I know I have added a couple spinnerbaits so far this year, including the Megastrike Strikeback one in a tree 3 feet above water....

And I still see my jerkbait hanging from a tree at the backwash area since last year. :-)

Anyone finding them on beds? I am still getting them from deeper water...

I just left a brand new crawdad colored lipless crank near the beaver d**n on a tree just under the suface, you can't miss it.  I really need to get my Jeep bought so I can get the kayak out there and retrive my stuff.

Oh I have lost so much tackle over there it isnt even funny!

I've lucked out for the most part, haven't lost much there this year but visits have been fewer than I wanted.

 

I did get to wet some line this morning. Hit Cunningham Falls from 7-11. Managed 5, nothing big either. Saw a few dinks protecting a couple areas but  nothing more than that. Caught 4 on a Red Eye Shad and the other came on a Yum Dinger. Given the conditions, I thought I could have caught a few on a spinnerbait, but no luck on them.

How were the trout fishermen? I need to hit that place along with Greenbrier because they are soo close.

Wasn't bad today. I was by myself on the upper end on the boat ramp side. Saw 3 guys across the lake and 1 boat and one kayak on the water.
