late notice to the gorge

[MarylandBassFishing]

Weather is great. I'm heading out to the gorge if you want to meet up just hit me up I will be launching from Scott's

you know scotts is terrible.. why waste your time

[perchy]

What's wrong with scotts?

[BassMoore]

Scott's is a nice place to fish.. but the better fish are farther up the bridge

[MarylandBassFishing]

Scotts Cove equals blue balls. Full bass for crappie5 hours. Nothing big will not launch from there again.

The stump field to 29 bridge is ok.

Have you guys figured out how to catch the fish suspending off steep banks near the 29 bridge? I tried dragging size 5-7 regular and jointed shad raps in front of them but that didn't work.. I'm convinced they must be keying in on bigger sized forage like all the big 4-5 inch gizzard shads swimming around in schools. I picked up DT16s to try next time. Small lures catch me dinks there and even mid sized fish seem to prefer bigger lures.

I have not been up there lately but that dt will catch some nice deep suspended bass. Nice selection!!!

Thanks! I picked up a DT6 firetiger earlier this year and it's caught me mostly small ones lol... I have the DT16 and DT20 ones now. They're about 3 inches long and pretty hefty lures at 3/4 oz.

I had a 16 lb bag today on a 4 inch worm and 4.5 drop shot worm... Caught 1 fish with a do 16 and 1 on a spinner bait in the wood.. I caught all fish today on shorelines. Had 13 total. Nothing smaller then 14 inches

I had a miserable day today ended up with 5 thanks to 2 late ones on the paddle back. Never fully adjusted to the bite. My buddy was slaying them ( see above ) but I could not get on. It was a great lesson for the future. I have 2 big bags of lures and plastics and yet it took me 3 hours to get off my initial 3 set ups by then the bite had slowed. Humbling day yet it was still nice. We seemed to be the only ones out there for 5 or 6 hours.
