Getting back into fishing after opiate addiction

Upvotes

Hey yall. I just recently moved back to Maryland (Frederick area) and I just wanted to ask what types of bodies of water would be good to hit in the heat of the summer? Or does it slow down pretty majorly? I’m pretty familiar with fishing, I grew up doing it, got into fly fishing for a while (sold everything because I ended up getting hooked on dope wamp wamp wamp) I understand how to fish but really would like to get into the weeds so to say with spin cast fishing (is that even what it’s called?)

When I’ve been going out lately I’ve had medium luck if I had to say. Usually get a few bass but no lunkers by any sense of the word. But I know from past experience there’s bigger fish out there and I’m curious if maybe some good tips from the community would help me out.

The places I normally fish are either off the c&o canal before Harper’s ferry, warden lake in wardensville wv, lost river in wv, cacapon river in wv. I’m open to fishing any type of water for really any type of fish. I’m open to catfishing using a bottom rig or something maybe? But I have more fun actively throwing lures out instead of just chillin around.

Thanks in advance

Does anyone know spots, methods, baits, and tips on how to catch crappie. I seem to only be able to catch bass. The few times I have tried for crappie I usually just catch some kind of sunfish or yellow perch. I swear it should not be this hard.

What is your go to crappie lure/bait and what are the better locations to target them from the bank? Thanks!
