John, you're cool. I wasn't trying to brag on my trout,but I don't have any digital brook trout photos. So I just used my wall dummies. It was all I had to share with you. I'm not that sharp on the computer if you can't already tell.

i went fishing today at a local pond, i ended up catching 13 fish, a mix of gills and crappie. they were all schooled up together in a corner next to the spillway. i was using the gulp alive minnows (1 inch) mostly. the bite was on while it was snowing, once the sun came out the fish quit...........weird.

no problem sometimes i swear to much and need to be reminded. i think it might be a military thing.

Hey John...ice out at Deep Creek can be a little tough as I understand...I personally have never fished there at that time. Actually, mid-May can be quite good and the best public launch,DCL State Park, should be up and running by then. You would be liable to catch most anything then, plus, the rates at local motels are at the season low at that time. Pike, pickerel, perch, walleyes, bass, trout and some big gills can be had by drifting baits and lure options at that time. I think your spoon prowess would work there. Check out www.fishdeepcreek.com and click on their message board to see what's biting as a local following is always posting there...thats my que to running up there or not.

Also, a long distance call to Bills Outdoor Center would be worth it to check on fishing and conditions. they are right on the lake and their number is 301-387-3474. Let me know of your plans Jim

Hey John...DCL is about 3.5 hrs from Westminster. The snow has been so deep on top of the ice lately that parking and foot travel have been next to impossible. A few guys are still hoofin it though with some success.

Mr. Sheehan,
I have no chance of ice fishing. My parents aren't fans of the cold. Hopefully the lake is solid enough for snow shoeing. Thank you for the warning and have a great weekend!

No sweat Zack..Lance Those size jigs catch the most BGills for me too but I'm still amazed when they're in the mood how they'll hit a bigger presentation!
Thanks for your tips!
