Crowshow6 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Been throwing strictly swimbaits for a while now but it feels like I'm the only one into it on the west side of MD, would love to plan a few trips to get out with some people that share the same intrests....catch a lot of wierd looks from people for throwing something that looks like there "catch of the day" while I'm at the river or lake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triv Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Consider yourself lucky. No other big bait pressure. I'm in South Jersey. Western MD is a nice place. I drive through a couple times a year. My wife has family in Harpers Ferry, WV. Her cousin got married at Deep Creek Lake which was a sick place. I was wishin I was fishin the entire time. I also played football in Frederick a couple times, but that is going back awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowshow6 Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 I guess it's not to bad not having that big bait pressure here, lots of good untapped water out here, just seems like the one I'm after has kept its distance. Coming from a state where "teeners" have never been landed i feel like if it's gunna be done it's the swimbait that's thats the key! Live about 30 minutes from deep creek and there's definitely some awesome fishing in the area with lake habeeb and the north branch Potomac river as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abrowne85 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm in MD in Baltimore. My bud got me into them he did well on them and I know another guy who smashes it on them. I definitely caught the bug on making and buying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egoodnow Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'm away at school in North Carolina right now but I'm from just outside of DC, hoping to throw some swimbaits around when I get back. Not really sure where would be best as all the lakes I've tried don't seem to have anything too sizable. swimbaitman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughie Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I've caught them in Mattawoman creek on the Potomac on 6 & 7 inch TT's,Hudd minnows ,Hudd 6 & 68's,also caught a lot on slammers and wake Jr's.I haven't tried the 8 inch Hudds even though I have a bunch.Also all 3:16 Soft baits are great.Other lake i've done good on is the Rocky Gorge Resavoir and Centenial lake with all those baits.

iay Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Your best bet around southern Maryland is Potomac River. There are big LMB and SMB in there but they are kinda sparse, because of the amount of Striped Bass in the water, feeding on every single bait fish.... I have never had any success in the suburbs because so many people fish the ponds, and take fish from there.... I am sure Western Maryland is really good though.

dheath2 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I grew up fishing prettyboy reservoir in Baltimore county. I only threw swimbaits there a few times before I left home. I was back during the holidays on leave and threw big baits there and in codorus state park in PA. Didn't get a sniff. The last fish I caught on swimbaits back home were on the smaller huddleston baits but that was a few years ago. There's plenty of great water in the area, I just wish I could really fish it more often with big baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
