muskalungee  08/29/2005 - 17:42  Friends of MDfishing.org  River    Every year on Columbus Day Jeff and I float the Upper Potomac from Bond's Landing to Little Orleans. This year the MDfishing.org membership has exploded and we've been trying to find a way to get everyone together to finally meet in person and do a little fishing. We've decided to open this trip up to all who are interested. No real details yet, we're just trying to gauge interest.

Here's what I need right now.
1 - If you're interested in the float
2 - If you have a boat to fish from (kayak or canoe)
3 - If you have room for another in your boat or an extra vessel to share with someone who doesn't have a boat

DanMarino  05/18/2010 - 07:07  River    Went fishing on the Patuxent near Columbia, MD on Sunday evening. I took my fly rod and was hoping to get a smallie or luck into a trout. I had caught smallies there before, but I didn't see a single one in 1.5 hours of fishing and wading around. Did catch an abundance of fallfish though (15-20 fish). I need to fish a different stretch and figure out where all the smallies went.

muskalungee  05/11/2010 - 08:42  Nut Jobs  River    FYI, there is a rodeo this weekend at the Brunswick Campground. There will be a bunch of people fishing in the area, will all congregating at the Brunswick Campground in the evening. If you've never been to a rodeo before, I recommend stopping by. It's great to meet some fellow fishing enthusiasts, swap stories, and just hang out. You don't have to camp (I don't), just swing by and say hi.

Campground Info

I'll be there Friday evening after the Capt and I are done slaying them all day. If you go, please come up and say hi. We won't be hard to find at the campground.

Captwalleye  05/08/2010 - 20:01  Trip Reports  River    I got up early this morning grabbed my pack and rod and headed for one of the dams on the Patapsco river.It was a fairly long walk and I arrived just as it was getting light.
I moved into a postion that allowed me to cast along a wall and commenced doing just that.The first cast was a short one because I wanted to see how the lure was swimming.I had a Lucky Craft 100 Pointer on and was using a pop pop pause retrieve.The lure was acting just the way I wanted it too and as it came closer.I saw it was being followed by a fish.I slowed down my retrieve and watched the fish follow but not strike.I guess the fish finally saw me and disappeared.

space inwaders  03/06/2010 - 11:12  Trip Reports  River    I'd been trying all winter when the snow allowed. The rivers are pretty high now, but not muddy. I haven't had luck cept for a 12" sucker on monday evening, caught on a 4" mister twister smoke/flake curly tail bouncing bottom.

I went down to my neighborhood spot on a major tributary to the potomac thursday evening. This place is 8-15' deep and had a pretty strong back-flow going. Once i switched to a 1/4 oz jig head and a gulp emerald shiner, twitching along bottom, it didnt take long to get my first bass of the year. First one was about 13 inches, about 10 mins later a nice fat 17 incher.

REB9  11/24/2009 - 19:23  Trip Reports  Essays  River    Started Thanksgiving vacation early this year. What to do, what to do? I know, head north to fish for some late fall smallies. I met Dave M. this morning and we headed north around 7:30AM. We were on the water around 9AM. Dreary, drizzle, low clouds, some rain mixed in. We started on the Western shore and Dave caught a nice 3 pound chunk. I plodded along and caught one on a teaser tube. We headed for the middle of the river working seam water in deeper areas. We kept picking up a fish here, a fish there, with no concentration of fish noted. We ended the day around 420PM with thirty nice fat smallies in the boat. Dave's first was the biggest of the day. We caught fish on jerkbaits, crankbaits and tubes.

Captwalleye  09/30/2009 - 06:27  Trip Reports  River    Took the day off on 9/25 and hit a river not so near.I knew the wind was going to be a factor,and knew that the water level was down.
I've never been to the particular area I fished when the water was down so low.Whoa! What a surprise.

The wind was suppose to be 5-10 mph well....I think it was more like 10-20.It overpowered the current easily and made for a very frustrating trip.

I threw a buzzbait and had a total of five blowups with two fish landed.Both were right around 10" long.I also threw a wacky jack on a circle hook.I caught my best fish of 14.25" on the first cast with it,and only had one other hit.The wind just got too bad.

Captwalleye  08/29/2009 - 19:56  Trip Reports  River    I hit a river near you on Friday morning and performed an introduction.A new friend to and a old and faithful friend.It was my maiden voyage with my new yak.I got a super deal on a mint T-100.It was already fishing rigged,and ready to go.So I did just that.

I went to a spot I really like that you launch from a stream mouth.It had rained earlier that morning,and the stream was running pretty good and the water looked like chocolate milk.I actually got paddling and fishing at around 7am.I wanted to get there earlier but...you know how it is.

I was campaigning topwater mostly all day.A black buzzbait and a Lucky craft Sammy.I had another rod with a Senko rigged wacky style but never really fished it too much.

Captwalleye  08/21/2009 - 19:57  Trip Reports  River  Roll Your Own    I actually went fishin'yesterday evening with my eldest daughter Samantha and her boyfriend Randy on a river near you.We were after you know what,and we did pretty good.At least two of us did.

We went to a spot that produces right regularly,and I set them both up in the two best spots to stand.I directed them as to where to cast,and what kind of retrieve to use. I just stood back and watched,and suggested little tips that could help them in their quest.

Well...I stood there for maybe fifteen minutse than decided that they had enough head start and I need to wet a line myself.A fella can only endure for so long.
