Belated western md report
I'm a long time lurker on the site and haven't posted much. But last Sunday I fished a western Md impoundment and did decently on the crappie and figured I'd share the report. We found the crappie schooled very tightly to each other and suspended in about 8 foot of water. Water temps were averaging 72 and the water was a bit cloudy due to windy conditions. Conditions were overcast with high winds and occassional rain. temps were in the 60s. All crappies were caught using bass assassins and Gulp smelts fished under floats. The fish averaged 9 - 10 inches. Wound up boating 14 in about an hour and a half. The fish were suspended about 3 foot below the surface and preferred the lures about 2 foot below the floats.
