Troy -

Tell you what my man Maryland is also bad news . Any assets go to nursing home until there is maybe $2000 max left and then Medicaid pays the bill . Residents get allowance of $25 a month to spend for incidentals . Pretty bleak life at this point .

Damn man .
Never been to Texas but many times to NC and was always treated well except when I was surf fishing down at OBX .
Those "good ol boys" did not like northerners on "the point" lmao ..................

Thanks for the info Grizzly .

Anyone know results ?

I thought about getting in it, but in all honesty, the lake didn't look that promising .

Thanks for any information .

Carp love cicadas
I caught a ton on surface lures during cicada season a few years ago
Carp just slurped down lures like crazy and they are strong fighters

Hello Fishermen

Is bass fishing worthwhile at this little lake in Pa ?

Saw a tournament was held there week ago but didn't get much information.

Don't want to pull boat all the way up there if nothing happening .

Thanks !

North from rt70w

15 to 550 and then in ft ritchie rd or that road that runs left off 550
is there a shortcut somewhere on 15 to get to 550

Actually live in northern balto county so long haul for sure but a nice ride .
May try ft ritchie tomorrow .

Seems like everything is tough anymore .
Long Arm electric only . Marburg is 20 hp .
Marburg used to be good but those times are long gone so I sold my gas motor . Have never tried LA yet .
I only have electric - Ray Motor .
I fish Loch Raven and Pretty Boy .
Only easy fishing is spring time .

Will let you know how I do when I get to fish it .
Will try some shallow running Mepps .
May try next week if it warms up.alsovwant to try Marburg and Long Arm this year since I got the Pa license too .

Thanks
Doesn't sound too promising there fishing wise
I will try it once

Thanks for that .
I "peeped out" the lakes this week and the smaller one is the place to fish in my mind .
Larger lake is very shallow seems like and access is limited to one side .
You do need a MD license and you sign up at the Community Center for the year .
That way they know who you are ( and also your vehicle ) when you are there .
Going to give it a try but it is a pretty good haul from where I live so hope to do well .
It is all "catch and release" which is fine by me - all I ever do .
The fort has been in private ownership for a few years and they are trying to bring in business there . The Community Center is very nice and contains a small museum and very impressive exercise equipment as well as a good looking basketball court .
A nice little cafe is accross from the Comm Center and serves a basic breakfast and lunch menu .
Will update my fishing success ( or lack of ) in following posts .
If anyone knows of any ponds worth trying in the area please let me know .

Has anyone here ever fished the lakes at Ft Ritchie ?

I am told that there are bass in them but they appear very shallow and you can only fish from the bank .

Thanks for any information .
