Small Lakes Remain Hot

Type: Nontidal
Region: Northern
Location: Mason Dixon Region Lakes

With lake and pond water levels high and even flooding into shallow areas, bass and panfishing remains a good bet for a close-to-home, evening trip at local park and community lakes in the Mason Dixon region. Pole-and line efforts with fixed line and small hooks, jigs and bobbers can get you in the game and is great to get kids started. Expect a bonus bass or channel cat to show up once in a while. Early and late day ventures make it easier on the body as well. Shellcrackers and crappie also sweeten the mix.
