The lake is 15 minutes away from work, thus I was in the office and at my desk by 9:30 (one of my favorite benefits of working in the Baltimore area). Skies were a blanket of thick, heavy cloud cover and rain drizzled all morning. It was one of those times where everything just looked "fishy". The bite was steady and I landed eight fish - seven largemouth and one pickerel. The two most notable largemouth weighed in at 2lb 9oz and 4lb 6oz. All fish were all taken on a Texas rig worm fished at the edge of emerging grassbeds on main lake points. The 4lb'er (my biggest fish of the year thus far) on 8lb test spinning tackle was an exciting way to kick off the work week :-)
