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

ogbudha  03/21/2010 - 08:45  Friends of MDfishing.org  Potomac    We are doing another recovery effort tommorow AND WE NEED HELP.

We are planning to electrofish the pool at Big Woods (between Taylors and Dam 4) on Monday. Our earlier recovery efforts saved the lives of several hundred fish. As the water drops ( which it is quickly doing) we need to react as quickly as possible.

I need 10 people to assist the DNR/NPS tommorow. I specifically need individuals who are going to be in chest high, muddy,cold, rock infested, logjamb filled water. ( paints a pretty picture doesnt it?) I need thick chest waders, no slip ( no felt) boots ,etc. Individuals should be prepared to get dirty and work very hard in and around boulders,downed trees and mud. This is very labor intensive work and in very difficult work environment.

http://caseplastics.com/ got a cease and desist from another manufacturer on their Sweet Pea product so they had to pull it off their website. It is a beaver style bait that is sized correctly for smallies. I use them ALOT. Anyway, they sold me some of their existing inventory at cost. If you like Case and beaver style baits give them a call. I bought 102 bags in all different colors for $1.15/bag. That's over 1,000 Beavers ... bwahahahahaha

jackson  02/04/2010 - 14:42  Friends of MDfishing.org    Have not posted since May of last year! Have been checking in every so often though! Enjoyed reading all's success stories. Did not get much fishing in since last spring due to health issues. Then fall was here and I picked up the bow! Short lived though! Had a heart-attack on 10/19/09, received a stent that evening, then transported to Johns Hopkins on 10/20/09 where I spent couple weeks. Had a Quad-bypass. Finally returned home on 11/3/09! Currently doing rehab and working out so I'll be able to paddle that boat up current on the little river come spring! Can't Wait!!!!! Good Luck to all!

Reel Lunker  07/27/2009 - 16:59  Friends of MDfishing.org  Roll Your Own    Thought I would stop in and say hello. I still check the site out from time to time, as I I would rather look at fishing information than work sometimes.

As my brother stated in his post about looking for a boat I have relocated to the West Coast (San Francisco) for work. The fishing has been slow so far as I have been busy getting settled into a new city and travelling with work but hopefully starts to pick up. The emphasis around here seems to be fishing the bay and ocean for larger saltwater species and not so much freshwater, although maybe I need to venture out further. Seems like to get into some good largemouth and smallmouth fishing I need to hit up some of the reservoirs which seem to be about 2-3 hours away, and are best fished with a boat which I lack and have no place to keep one if I did.

spothogg  06/29/2009 - 19:58  Friends of MDfishing.org    Just got word that Riversmallies is shut down, looks like for good this time. Info said that it might come back as a forum only in the future. Sorry to see that happen. I met a lot of nice, good people through that web site. Looks like mdfishing gonna get a bump in traffic.

Virginia’s Pending End-User Poultry Litter Regulation
Prepared By: Jeff Kelble –Shenandoah Riverkeeper

Virginia is about to take its biggest step ever in regulating the poultry industry. For anyone who uses the Shenandoah for drinking water and recreation, this also represents the greatest opportunity you may ever see to help improve the health of the Shenandoah River, Eastern Shore and the Chesapeake Bay. I urge you to take the time to read this paper, and then file comments on the pending regulation.

jackson  05/09/2009 - 04:22  Friends of MDfishing.org  Black Hills    Finally met and fished with a "MDfishing" member, Tightline! And a very enjoyable outing it was! Good conversation, and reminiscing of common "fishing holes" we both had visited in the past. This was the first time I've ever met and fished with anyone in the "blind". Boy have I been missing out on some good experiences! As it was my worst fears came true! The fish would not cooperate. They are in what I call the "FUNK"! With all the rain, 10 days of continuously cloudy weather, and temps. all over the charts, these lake fish are all screwed up. However, I believe what we were experiencing as we were on the water, was a influx of males moving to the shallows and stumps fanning out beds.
