Anybody Fishing Deep Creek Lake, MD??

[JPascavage52]

Hey guys, we have our first club tournament at Deep Creek, MD next Sunday the 22nd. Was wondering if anybody has been out there recently and could give some info on water temps, what worked, if the fish are spawn/ postspawn, some areas to start in, etc? Its my first time at the lake alone, and I'll be there half the day Friday and all day Saturday to prefish, right now plan is to flip/ pitch and skip senkos under the docks, cover water with a crankbait and maybe topwater in the morning, drag some tubes around, crank the points, and maybe drop shot some of the bridge pilings. 

Please and thanks.

Welp, the rain pelted me all weekend, but managed to take 6th of 22 in the tournament, including a 3.5 pounder in prefishing.

I actually didnt catch all that many pickerel strangely, and a couple of walleye, but eventhough they're not bass, not gonna complain about catching them. 

Friday, prefished and caught 20 on crankbaits, senkos, flipping jigs, and jerkbaits.. However, friday night the front start going through, with air temps in the mid 30s, and rain, and Saturday the water temperature was starting to slowly yet steadily fall, and really had to downsize and slow down, found some good success with senkos, grubs, and Ned Rigs, used these three lures almost exclusively during the tournament.
