Maryland has certain places they close in order to stock trout so if they are listed you are SOL. I was fishing a local lake several years ago that they were o stocking with trout the same day I was fishing it. The DNR said something to me to which I replied I was a bass fisherman and could give a s**t less about the trout. The Warden gave me a song and dance about fishing during the stocking to which I replied I didn't know about the stocking until the truck showed up? He them tried saying I was fishing for them (using a 1/2oz jig and LC pointer 100sp like all trout fishermen) to which I replied no I was not and if he felt so to search my boat? Guy searched my boat and found some drop shot minnows which meant I was fishing for trout according to him so he threatened me again. Most of the MDDNR I deal with is professional but I guess this guy was use to illegals or something so I just said go ahead and prove that in court? Mood change that led and I got a "warning" but that lake was not closed officially for any stocking so he can go screw himself. Allen

Figured I would check out the spot everyone is fishing. Allen

Creature baits work better in the spring and fall than a worm for me. Summer it is a toss up except worms are better for the grass. Allen

According to that site Black Hills is a good SM lake? I have only seen one SM in ten years of fishing that lake. Allen

Where did you get straight black tubes? Allen

Any idea what the water temp is? Allen

Find some hidden weight baits as they offer the smaller profile and weigh enough to fish. The bait in my Avatar is a 3/8oz built on a 1/4oz frame with twin willows 3.5 and 4. This is my most productive combo overall that I use. Allen

Red flake has worked better for me. Allen

No but I just drive by the pond going to and from lunch. Allen

There have been two guys fishing Nalins at lunch. Allen

Translucent colors like WM and smoke. Allen

Are you one of the two guys that have been fishing Nalins Pond the last two days? I work across the road from the pond. Allen

I thought that was Seans secret hole? That place is right outside of FT Detrick but I have never tried it. Allen

Taking the boat out for the first time of the year this weekend. Not sure where I will try yet but leaning torwards Greenbrier or maybe Big Slackwater. Allen

Most of them are done until next year or at least the ones I know about. Allen

3-4" tubes in Green Pumkin Finesse jigs Jerkbait Single bladed white spinnerbait Allen

Read through this thread and you will get some ideas. The two places you listed are good to start with but Greenbrier has a lot of small fish. Allen

I have two lead bottom pour pots and about 20 molds but still buy some pre-made jigheads. If you only need a few or can get a good price on them it isn't worth the trouble of making them. Allen

Short answer is yes but you will have to powder coat or paint them. If he is pouring them then see what hooks he is using as you may want something different? Allen

Don't go into a bank or gas station dressed like that. Allen

Looks cool and you can brag about all the bass you catch that are so large you need a spiral wrapped rod. In practical terms it is like those big spoilers you see on Honda Civics. They cannot go fast enough to take advantage of the spoilers benefits and 99.5% of the Bass caught will not torque a rod enough to make a difference. Allen

Finesse worms, senkos, baby brush hogs in watermelon and green pumkin Flukes in white and albino Popper with white belly Small white buzzbait and spinnerbait These are the basics for fishing around here and they can be bought at Wal-Mart. I haven't fished for trout in years but can say I have caught just about every gamefish in this state on a white Roostertail spinner. Allen

3/0 trailer hook. Allen

This would be the route to go as you can control most of the build process. I have some Boss jigheads and I think they maybe painted instead of powdercoated? Get yourself a fluid bed, some powder paint, and a bottle of Super Glue GEL and you are set. Allen
