My buddy Dustin and I decided to brave the elements yesterday and head down to black hills and catch us a couple fish. Water temps were in the mid 60s and had a little color to it. We slowly worked our way out onto the main lake from the ramp where we finally hooked up and put one in the boat. We found a little spot on the edge of a grass line near the dock that was holding either crappie or perch. We threw out a marker so we wouldn't get blown off the spot. We managed to hook up with 4 more times but only boated 2 of them. One came on a shakey head and another on a drop shot. We left that spot in search for wood and rock. Being the two river rats we are we don't know what the hell that green stringy stuff is that grows up from the bottom. Dustin hasn't been to the lake in years I took him on a little tour of what the lake has to offer. We managed to put a few more fish in the boat before the day cam to a windy end. Picked one up on a black-n-blue jig as it vertically dropped down threw a standing tree and the rest of the fish came off a spinnerbait. We had a decent outing but didn't lean back into a black hills hog this time. Looking forward to getting back down next week.

After moving back to MD at the end of sept after spending some years in VA beach and NC I decided to get into bass fishing at the recommendation of my roommate from college. Let me tell you I am having just as much fun as I did fishing saltwater.
 
Most of these fish were all caught at the same pond near my house
 
My own PB which from the looks of it is below avg for a normal day with some of you guys haha

These 2 were caught during all the rain from the nor'easter we had recently

And this little guy was my first bass I have ever caught on anything other then a t-rigged worm. He was def punching above his weight lol

Glad to see there are a lot of great bass fisherman around MD and from the looks of some really healthy fish.

got a few nice ones at Lake Needwood this morning. Again the crankbait bite was on around 830. Caught 6 in a row, including my personal best on a Rapala Dt10

 

 

 

This one weighed in at 6.3lbs

After reading reports of crappie schooling near bridges and piers in the tidal potomac, I decided to try and catch them for a change of pace. Being shorebound, I went exploring some marinas in the Fort Washington area and located a school. All caught on a 2" chartreuse berkley power grub. The largest was 12".

Nice catch. Crappie and walleye are so tasty.

Fished the anglers appreciation tourney Sunday down on Anna and In spite of our terrible practice Saturday we placed 18th out of 114 boats. Pretty excited about the finish. We lost one key fish that would have placed us in the top 10 but that's how it goes. It took a whopping 25lb to win the tournament. My two week vacation is getting ready to kick off and the long awaited rain is starting to fall. Looks like it time to head up to fort hunter and play with the smallies.

Got out for an hour today and managed one on a squarebill and had another one on a lipless that dropped off. Been focused on the Stripers in the bay recently but it felt good to get some largemouth action

Had a fantastic day at the C&O canal. The vegetation has died down so I brought out the ultralight gear. Caught 8 largemouth between 1-2 pounds, nothing big. I did get bit by something that ran in circles for about 3 minutes before spitting the hooks. I could not get it to come up with such light gear. The surprise of the day were the jumbo crappies which until today I didn't know were in that section of the canal.

 

I caught half a dozen around 11-14". All the fish were caught on a gold kastmaster.

Also spotted a snakehead sunning in the shallows. It would not take anything I threw at it. I thought they had been fished out from all the recent pressure but it seems they are very hard to eradicate.

Friend Lemons any tips for fishing the C&O? I have only been once to fish around Pennyfield locke rd and didn't even know where to start haha. Did manage one small largemouth on a crank bait but any tips would be appreciated
