Deep Creek Lake Fishing

Type: Nontidal
Region: Western
Location: Deep Creek Lake

Despite reports and the typical summer pattern of fishing docks at Deep Creek Lake, I have struggled with catching any fish of quality with this tactic the last few weeks. So, I decided to move offshore along the grass and was rewarded with a 14.25 inch crappie. I also caught a few nice smallmouth bass and some bluegills. All fish hit a minnow imitator on a VMC NEON jig head.

Wayne received a FishMaryland certificate for this catch. Congratulations!
