Well Spring Bass fishing is here!
I managed to take advantage of the first nice day of spring in Southern
Maryland and hit the St. Marys lake (trophy bass lake) yesterday. While the dam has sprung a leak and they have drained it a bit lower than they wanted to, and I having a canoe had the advantage! After finding a spot out of the wind, I proceded to catch 5 LM bass and lost more than a dozen on the woody bottom. (got to change my leader as it broke off). (Using watermellon Gary Yammoto worms) No biggies but all about 1 1/2 pounds but still fun finding and landing them. Spring is here and the canoe is on the roof of the car and always gives the guards at the navy base a fun time finding the base stickers, they do understand and some even ask where and when I go and how the fishing is. I got my trolling motor bracket the other day and I am going to get my first TM in a few days. Boy I love rowing but to get across 250 acres of lake paddling sure does take fishing time away. Wish me luck for a first time buyer! Bruce, The Banjo picking, canoe fishing, military teacher of Radio and Sat Com for our men and ladies in the WMD safety work place, bless them all..... |

Hi Bruce, Sounds like fun. I'm still waiting for the water to soften enough for a lure to penetrate here in Northcentral WI :} What trolling motors have you been looking at? Any Collins R390A's laying around the base waiting for the axe?
