Ah thanks I was just about to ask that. but I felt stupid. it was still nice to get out and relax tho.

I know most are hitting loch raven. But for those who are hitting liberty whats the water temp? and hows the bite. I plan on going out 5/1 if weather looks good.

Creel Limit Zero

I haven't hit it up this year.  I'm going next weekend.  Let us know how you do.  :)

This weekend I'm working tomorrow and fishing Potomac on Sunday.

Well I did better then I thought. Caught my first bass of the year, first was one was only about a pound but number 2 was a bit bigger( both were caught on a leadhead with a gulp minnnow). caught both and missed 4 more on fallen timbers in about 15 foot. water temp was 64 with about 6 foot visibility. went up around deer park and tore into some white perch all about 10" and thats how i finished the day. I wanted to catch one on a jig but couldnt get any to bite.

had a good day on liberty on sun. for our RAM tourny.   my partner and i focused on smallies, since the LM bite still isnt quite on there yet.   we had our limit by 730, with a solid team weight of just shy of 18lbs to win the tourny.    our best 5 were 20.75 SM, 18.50 SM, 18 SM, 17.5 LM and 17 SM.   we fished main lake points with plastics and deep diving cranks to catch the fish.

...no pics.

thanks guys, liberty is definately "on" right now.... everyone caught fish in our club tourny and most caught limits.  now is the time to be out there, because come july and august that place gets awefully tough!!

Capt.Nick

Have you guys run into any accidental walleyes lately?

not yet this year, last year one of the guys in the club got one around 8lbs. 

Capt.Nick

OK thanks.I fished up there in the late 80s with guide Brad Beach.We caught some in the 2-3# range.I'd like to give it a try again.Someone mentioned Pike in there?Do they mean Walleyes?

i know eyes and stripers are there, but i have not seen a northern in there yet, wouldnt doubt it though.

wish we had more places to fish for muskie, liberty would be ideal, but i dont think they are there either.

Capt.Nick

They put some Tigers in pretty boy many years ago.A few were caught accidently by bass fishermen and I imagine the rest died off.I fish occasionally for them in my jet in the upper Potomac.I took a guy up there last june who has fished many times for them in NY on the St.Lawrence River at his family's cabin.He hooked many and has had many follows but never landed 1.I met him at a landing where I had hooked 1 and raised several.We were there maybe 2 hrs and he hooked & lost 1 and had a follow.He had all top notch Musky gear.We then drifted about 4mi. into the  night without much more than a few smallies.We were coming up on a spot that was good for eyes after midnight so we switched to Walleye gear.I got us into position slid the anchor over and he he ties into a Musky on a small 4in.stick bait on 8# mono.He's frantic and worried to death he'll lose it.He says dip him when he comes by and then starts to horse it in.I said relax   ,take your time,enjoy the fight,that's what we came here for.The ski makes a pass by me and I drop the net to intercept,the ski lunges for the bottom and I miss him.Awhile later the ski makes another pass and this time I scoop him up.He's shaking shaking like a leaf and really excited.We snap a pitcha & let him go.It was a hell of a night running rocky riffles under the moonlight .That reminds me...it almost june again..I'll bet he's all set to go again.

My dad and I fished Liberty today. I caught 2 LM and 3 SM and he didn't catch any. Fished soft plastics in coves and on points.
Here is the biggest. Measured 19 inches. My new Personal Record. Released.

Capt. Nick, I agree, we need some muskie (preferably not tiger) in Liberty or Prettyboy. Tiger's are steril and don't thrive. Me and my brother-in-law went to Canada last year for a first time muskie fish. We both had several follows and hook ups, but both only landed 1 each. I landed 42" and he landed a 46". I am hooked on muskies now.

They are 'Thee" freshwater challenge".Glad to read you each caught 1.My friend's was 40in.Everyone's dream is the "fity incher"Unfortunately,there's no Musky inc. clubs in Md. I'd like to see some pure strain stocked in Md's portion of the Susky like Conowingo Lake & below the Conowingo  Dam.I also fish for them in Pa. up to Harrisburg.They do well there.I once fished with Guide Glenn Peacock on the susky flats.He told me a story when he once cast a Bass bait to a log on the flats.Well,that 'Log" turned out to be a Musky and destroyed his Bass lure.He didn't land it but it sure surprised him.There are a few in there,some stocked by DNR from Pa. fish comm. & some come through the Dam.I know alot of people that would love to see some more.

Thanks Capt. Nick and englishspringer for the comment on my fish. It truly was a big bass. Hope I can catch another.
