I'll meet up with you. Early season at Clopper lake is very good and its right around the corner from both of us. Hydrilla takes over in the summer and sucks to bank cast. April-May is easy though. I can basically guaranty you will catch bass. There are some big boys in that little lake. The DNR did a population study about 8 years ago and electrofished certain areas. Biggest one was over 10lbs but many over 5lbs. Biggest I caught there was just under 6.5lbs. Lots of 2-4 pounders though. The best part about that lake is you can walk every inch of shore. If one area is dead just jump in the car and easily move to a new area without walking for miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Bill Murray had been in the area that day and according to the dude telling the story, he said he was casually eating his lunch towards the entrance at a table when a man walked by and jacked a few of his fries off the tray before heading into line. Guy said he was like, "Hey!", and Bill Murray turned and looked at him. The guy was stunned, and all Bill Murray said was, "No one is going to believe you." I lost it because that is hands down one of the most Bill Murray things you could imagine. Gotta love him. Loved Bill in the early days of the "Not Ready For Prime Time Players" on SNL. However, his ego got the best of him and earned him the unenviable title of one of the most difficult to work with in Hollywood. Loved Caddyshack when it came out. Then read, from multiple sources, about what an arsh he was to work with on the set. By many accounts the persona Bill portrays during get first half of Snow Day is fairly accurate to the real thing... I'll take the plain ole slapstick comedy of Tim Conway and Harvey Corman any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Ditto for Red Skelton in his heyday, but realize the comparison of Bill to the others is apples to oranges (or sour gooseberries). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We corrected on all the mistakes from when we played Duke as the away team and then Duke pulls off some miracle 3pt shooting tonight. We made Zion look human tonight and it wasn't enough.

They need to make a final four (hopefully championship) this year. And i think they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to warmer weather so I can hit the other lakes/rivers. FMR is fine but pretty urban — a lot of people and a lot of trash. I would take a run on Clopper. I tried it once last year. Didn’t get anything but I didn’t really know where to go on the lake. My favorite thing to do when the weather gets hot is to wade the various creeks/rivers for smallies.

Definitely a rookie at a Rush concert. My old neighbors told stories about heading to Rush concerts stoned taking the bus.

My setup right now is almost entirely bass centric. I have a baitcaster so river waiding with light lures is a little tough for me while I'm learning to use it. Medium to heavy lures in preparation for spring bass fishing is what I'm mainly focused on. My next setup will probably be a spinner with a light rod for the rivers though, especially given how much trout there seems to be. I've never waded before in my life. It seems like there's a lot of gear for that activity, but it looks super fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring a backpack with a small tackle box of jig heads, stick baits/ned rigs, and inline spinners. I don’t see much trout in the summer around here. You have to go further into the mountains for that.

By then I think they’re mostly in the cooler mountain waters. But you’re right that you can get some in the spring. Good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like there's a lot of gear for that activity, but it looks super fun. If we hit clopper lake I'll bring extra spinning rods. I have too many and they all have nice reels and flouro line (important for fishing clear water here). I have enough lures to outfit an army too. Lol. After decades of fishing around here I've realized that you only need 2 or 3 different lures for all the lakes. They all fish the same. Bass are smart here. They've seen every lure in the bass pro catalogue. However, they simply can't resist stick baits (Senkos) and rubber worms. If I'm not getting bites on those the bass aren't biting. I throw tubes, flukes, and spinnerbaits sometimes but that's it. Wading for trout here kinda sucks. The stockers are all pellet fed in the hatcheries. For the first month after stocking they don't even know what to eat. A spinner means nothing to them until they figure out what to eat. By the time they are fully adjusted to living in wild lakes and streams they die off because the water is too warm. I catch stockers every year but not on lures. I use simple berkley powereggs. They look like the pellets they've been fed since birth. Makes sense right? The best wading in MD is the upper potomac for smallmouth. It can be dangerous when water is high so low water is a must. The best river to wade within a reasonable drive is the Shenandoah. Loaded with smallmouth and very easy to fish. My wife and I do float trips and we catch so many smallmouth we don't even count them. It's a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pound for pound smallmouth are the hardest pulling freshwater fish in our area. When they are feeding you can catch them left and right. Lots of jumps and runs. My wife is the family record holder. 20.5" and took 15 minutes to get it to the boat. They live in moving water so they are very strong. Largemouth are lazy in generel. They still fight hard when hooked of course but oh man do smallmouth go berserk when hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
