I haven't fished over that way for awhile but Loch Raven & Prettyboy used to be good places for crappie.
Boyds Md.Little Seneca lake in Black Hills State Park and they rent boats.Quote:

What about fishing from there around this time of year? Also, any Yellow Perch at this location?Quote:

Just curious as to what method for the YP ... I'm assuming minnows or grubs on a jig under a bobber?
Plastics under a bobber for me. Minnows will work, I just don't like using bait if I don't have to.
Thanks Mike. I may just give it a go tomorrow morning at Joppatowne. Don't have a boat but if there's an area to fish from shore that'll work for me. Just wondering, has anyone ever crossed a pickerel around this time of year around this area? Also, any places close-by for minnows/worms?Quote:

Was your buddy on a boat or fishing from shore? Maybe I just didn't stick around long enough, i was at the wrong spot or just wasn't implementing the right technique but I could even get a bite in 2 hours fishing from the boat ramp area at Mariner Point on Saturday morning. Threw out minnows about 5 feet under a bobber and 2" chartreuse powerbait minnows on 1/16 jigheads w/slow retrieve ... nothing ... great weather though so it wasn't a complete loss!Quote:
