Fishing in Maryland

WELL MY VACATION IN MARYLAND WAS EVENTFUL IN SO MANY WAYS, I JUST CAN’T MENTION THEM ALL, AND THE FISHING WAS GREAT. I SPENT SEVERAL DAYS FISHING IN LOCAL PONDS, RIVERS AND RESAVOIRS. I CAUGHT MY SHARE OF CRAPPIE AND LARGEMOUTH BASS AND HAD AND EXTREMELY PLEASANT TIME HOME FISHING AND JUST KICKING BACK. HERE IS A RUN DOWN OF MY WEEK.

SATURDAY THE 5TH, I ARRIVED AT DULLES INTL. AIRPORT AND TOOK A LIMO TO MY HOME AND WAS SWEPT AWAY TO MY BROTHERS FOR A COOKOUT. I HAD TO GIVE UP FISHING THAT DAY.

SUNDAY THE 6TH I GOT STARTED EARLY. I WAS FISHING AT 7:00 AM AT LIBERTY RESAVOIR AND QUICKLY CAUGHT 5 CRAPPIES, USING A 1/8 OUNCE JIG WITH A CURLY TAIL GRUB. THE REST OF THE MORNING WAS PRETTY MUCH CRAP. I TOOK OFF TO A NEARBY POND AND CAUGHT 5 LARGEMOUTH IN A COUPLE OF HOURS OF FISHING.

MONDAY SAME THING ONLY THIS TIME I FISHED A DIFFERENT PART OF THE RESAVOIR, BUT WAS NOT A PRODUCTIVE MORNING AT ALL. I HEADED BACK TO THE FARM POND IN THE AFTERNOON AND CAUGHT 2 MORE CRAPPIES, AND 4 LARGEMOUTH.

TUESDAY, I CHANGED THE PLACE AND WENT TO THE AG CENTER, AND CAUGHT A LARGEMOUTH ON A TOP WATER LURE, A BUZZ BAIT TO BE SPECIFIC BUT THAT WAS THAT, UNTIL LATER THAT EVENING I WENT BACK TO MY FAVORITE POND AND FISHED TIL AROUND 10:00. IT PROVED TO BE A GOOD CHOICE TOO. I CAUGHT 10 LARGEMOUTH USING TOP WATER AND SPINNERS LURES. THEY WERE DECENT SIZE WITH LARGEST BETTER THAN 2.5 LBS.

WEDNESDAY MORNING FISHED EARLY IN A LITTLE RAIN THE LUCKY FARM POND AND ON THE FIRST CAST USING A BLACK HULA POPPER CAUGHT A REAL NICE CRAPPIE. DURING THE COURSE OF THE MORNING I CAUGHT 4 MORE LARGEMOUTH.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY I HAD OTHER COMMITMENTS THAT WERE BIT MORE PRESSING THAN FISHING SO I MISSED OUT ON THE DROWNING OF ARTIFICIAL BAITS.

SATURDAY THE LAST DAY I WAS BACK AT IT AND LANDED ANOTHER 6 LARGEMOUTH IN A 4 HOUR PERIOD. I WAS USING TOP WATER BAITS SUCH AS JITTER BUGS, POPPERS, TOPEDOS, AND A NICE LITTLE BAIT THAT REALLY LANDED ME 5 OF THE 6 BASS. A REAL IMAGE, BLUE CRANKBAIT THAT SWIMS ABOUT 3 FEET BELOW THE SURFACE. SO IT WAS A GREAT WEEK THAT LEFT ME EMOTIONALLY BUMBED OUT HAVING TO COME BACK HERE, BUT LIKE WE SAY, “SUCH IS LIFE IN THE TROPICS”. I’VE GOT A COUPLE OF MARYLAND FISHING PICTURES TO SHARE WITH YAWL…GONE FISHIN’

IT’S BETTER TO SIT IN YOUR BOAT AND THINK ABOUT GOD, THAN IT IS TO SIT IN CHURCH AND THINK ABOUT FISHING.
