Lots of action at sunrise this morning. Put 12 in the boat in a 40 minute period, then the bite fell off.

Good job. Sounds like the typical summer pattern- once that sun hits the water, they shut off and head back to the deep until sunset.

For anyone interested- WSSC has again decided to keep both reservoirs open this winter for shore fishing only, the same deal as last winter. Permits are required and the reservoirs will be open weather permitting. Haven't seen a post on here since July, so either no one is fishing the reservoirs or they are tight lipping it.

Hi RR, my last visit was early November to Tri, managed to find a few but nothing huge. Have spent most of Oct and Nov on the eastern shore ponds - a little easier to locate fish -

The eastern Shore ponds are much easier to fish because they are a lot smaller than the reservoirs. The bass should be moving shallow to fatten up for the winter and if you fish there the next couple weeks, look for the shad die off in the shallow areas by the shorelines. I caught my personal best smallmouth at Triadelphia in 2008 the week of Thanksgiving water temp was in the high 50's, had a 4 lb 8 oz. smallie nail a white chatterbait fished in about 4 ft of water just past where the fuel pipeline goes underwater. I may try and get up there this winter since they will be open to shore fishing only and see if I can get me a few.

G Shappell- You will still be able to shore fish from Triadelphia with the exception of Greenbridge and Pig tail I think it is which will be the staging areas for the dredging project. I hope they don't mess up any good area's uplake by dredging. There are some decent shore fishing areas that will give you access to fish. I hope to get up there and wet a line in the spring. Rocky Gorge will be open, hopefully the 3 ramps won't get pummelled by boats, if you have a kayak or canoe, Browns Bridge would be ideal place to launch- gives you good access to the Rt. 29 bridge from uplake and a lot of good spots along the way!

Hey, Has anyone done any fishing in Rocky Gorge this year so far? I know Triadelphia is closed to boating, but still can access the shorelines there.
