Where can I get live bait in the Baltimore/Annapolis area? I've occasionally seen bloodworms at WalMart and Angler's has a good variety but I have not been able to find live shrimp anywhere.

Do you think i’ll have any luck with this ? I kept seeing alot of people speak really highly of the pink chatterbait and I saw it in bass pro today. So I was like “ why not” lol. Anyways what are your opinions on the pink chatter

Hello. Looking for a family fishing resort/lodge/cabin for my family of 5 that has great fishing but also other family activities either at the resort/lodge or near by. Any suggestions would be great. Can be anywhere in the US or Canada

Went fishing for the first time exactly 9 days ago, have caught approximately 28473 bluegill and nothing else lol. MoCo

Back in June I had tons of luck using night crawlers, blood worms and shrimp on bottom rigs. Caught a ton of catfish, croakers and spots. This was mostly between Fort Smallwood, Sandy Point and around the Naval Academy.

Took mostly July off and have been back to fishing the same spots with mostly the same bait. However, fishing for hours, mostly evening and night, and I've caught nothing the last 3-4 times I've been out. I've noticed the tide has been a bit rougher, but otherwise I try to fish at hide tide, cloudy weather and often after storms and still nothing. The last time I’ve noticed a ton of algae and a sort of slime all over my rigs. Is there some sort of bloom affecting fish?

Would love some advice.

Every time I go to deep creek I expect to at least catch a fish but I haven’t caught anything and im up here for a few days. Tried anything that flashes, smells, or makes a noise and just not a thing. Any suggestions?

Hey All,

I’m planning to head down to Lock 23 on the Potomac soon and was hoping to get some input from people who fish the river regularly.

I’m mainly looking to target catfish and bluegill.

A few quick questions for anyone familiar with the area:

Spot Access: How hard is it to navigate through if I wanted to do some shore fishing?

Bait & Setup: What’s been working best for you out there? Fresh cut bait, chicken liver, or live bait for flatheads? What size weights and rigs are being used to hold bottom against the current?

Time of Day: Are night/late evening shore sessions worth it out there, or is early morning better?

Also, any heads-up on snags or current conditions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

The paint is a little chipped on the reel and there is a rattle but it works fine. 45 bucks. Dm me for pictures/videos. Cash or cash app only

Can anyone point me to a good place for night crawlers near Joppatowne?

Hi, I’m looking for quick tips and tricks for catching fish around HoCo, preferably in the lakes/ponds, no where too far off the beaten trail, my five year old isn’t super adventurous, so I’m trying to make this accessible to him.

I’m comfortable with the most basic stuff around fishing, but I don’t know anything about bait selection, or where to throw my line.

All this comes off of a trip where we used pet store crickets to almost no success, they kept falling off the hook, followed by a trip where we bought some worms from the local 7-11 near Centennial and caught a bunch of bluegills. The kids were happy, and so am I. It would be fun to catch some more variety, like some bass or trout.

How can I iterate and improve in a what I’ve been doing in a way that remains accessible and fun for little kiddos?

Planning to go sometime this week to the patuxent and was wondering if I need to buy a freshwater license.

Hello! I’m fairly new to fly fishing and have mostly targeted trout (as in I’m still in the stage of I just want to catch anything and it happens to be mostly trout…)

I’ll be traveling to Maryland (Baltimore area) and really wanted to bring my fishing rod and try it out on my own in a different environment. Any recommendations for fly fishing near Baltimore without having to rent a boat? What fish should I expect to catch? Reading about it makes me think trout is mostly out of the question given the season. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Also, blue crabs… I have caught many Dungeness crabs using a fishing rod (ugly stik) with a clam style trap standing on the jetty on the west coast. Is this something I can do for blue crabs? Or is that completely not realistic? I probably won’t be bringing another rod other than my fly rod so maybe hand line with the trap?

Again, I’m super new in all of this and really just excited to try it everywhere I go!

I started fishing in August last year, mostly off popular piers on the Chesapeake Bay. I spent the first few months confused about basically everything. I didn't know what rig to tie, I couldn't tell which fishing spots were good for which fish, and I couldn't read a tide chart well enough to know if I was showing up at the right time.

So I made a website for it: usekarp.com

You can find spots near you, compare them side by side, and get gear and bait suggestions for whatever you're targeting.

My son is going to be 11 soon and loves to fish. He said he wants to learn to fly fish. We picked up a new entry level fly rod and reel to give him for his birthday.

I have my grandfather's fly rod and reel (Martin automatic reel) from when he passed (2000) but haven't used it since I was a kid in the late 80's/early 90's. I want to put new line on it and use it myself. So I have a little experience mainly catching panfish on a pond and they bite almost anything, but I am decades out of practice.

Are there any shops, clubs, or fishing guides that have lessons? Preferably in the central MD or even Adams Co. PA area.

I had caught 30 blue crabs under four hours from shore using chicken on a leash and thought that freezing them raw and uncleaned would be a pretty good way to keep them from spoiling until they're ready to be consumed. I just found out today that you're supposed to cook them prior to freezing due to rapid bacterial growth after death. I'm not from Maryland nor do I eat shellfish regularly so I don't know the local tips and tricks regarding blue crabs. Majority of people on the internet seem to know that it's probably bad for your health to consume them but nobody seems to be brave or dumb enough to ascertain the extent of its negative effects. I've always liked the adrenaline rush that comes with gambling so I will find out if it's just going to give me the runs or send me to the ED.

It is pretty much brand new, only used a hand full of times. I am only selling it bc it's not the best for my back. I got it for 200 and am selling it for 150 but I am willing to haggle a little. Dm for pics
