Fished a club tournament on Deep Creek Lake and caught largemouth, smallmouth, walleye, pickerel, and northern pike and a variety of soft plastics. The fish refused to touch moving baits of any kind, but they were perfectly happy eating Texas-, wacky-, ned-, and Carolina-rigged soft plastics, particularly Zoom Trick Worms in black. I went through several bags of them, thanks to the many toothy critters I caught. And, while the bass were few and far between, my co-angler and I had a blast catching several species of fish, including a 15lb northern pike. As I have most of this year, I rigged my Trick Worms on Mustad's Alpha Point Alpha-Grip Finesse hooks. These are amazing hooks - sharp, strong, and easy to rig with a snell knot. Thanks, Omnia Fishing, for introducing me to these hooks for field testing!

All fish came on the LV and Texas rigged craws. Zero top water bite for us. Lake was busy, lots of pleasure boats and a couple tournaments. Numbers were down but got a few of the right bites up to 6.2#’s. Never left the Redbud arm.

When out in the kayak and wore them out on jigs fishing flooded trees/brush in 5 to 12 ft of water. Was able to find a huge concentration of bass on a small stretch of brush. Rotated between a 1/2 and 5/8 oz jig using the Daiwa Tatula Elite Cory Johnston Flipping rod. About every cast you would get bit, you have to weed through little ones for a big bite.

Majority of the fish we found this trip were out on the deep ends of points before the drop off. Threw drop shots all day and wore them out. All of the bigger bass came off the Missile Baits Magic worm in Missile morning. Using a 1/4 oz weight and almost dragging it. Every once in a while give it a few shakes of the rod. Hopefully this helps y’all out.

Too much pressure on this lake. Every area has people, but on kayak was able to snatch a few in hard to get places

Took a bit to dial in the best moving bait, Spinnerbaits and buzzbaits caught a few but swim jigs were the best for largest and smallies.

Has a good quick outing on the lake the other day. Lots of fish trying to eat Topwater both largemouth and smallmouth. I think this bite is just starting and should do nothing but get better in the coming weeks. Spook and a buzzbait did the heavy lifting. Caught fish all the way from the main lake to the back of the creeks so just cover some water and you will get in an area where you get mutiple bites .

Cast and retrieve very slowly along the old bridge starlings throughout the lake, letting the bait bounce off of the bottom. The Gobius is very tough to hang-up. This technique also produced a few largemouth.

Drifting in Anchor Bay in 10 FOW. Could only get a bite if I dragged a small football jig over small rock piles close to heavy vegetation. Tried a bigger jig and they were only picking up the trailer.

Lost it before I could get a picture, but was trolling on the northeast side of the lake near shore around 8-10ft of water. Just on the edge of some vegetation. Hooked into a good size Northern Pike, but came off the hook as I was getting him in the boat. Approximately 21 inches.
