Largemouth Bass Tips for Current Conditions:
77 degrees in in the largemouth bass prime water temperature range and fishing should be good right now. Baitfish are much more active in this water temperature and the largemouth bass will be feeding aggressively throughout the day. This is a great time of year to be on the water.

"I went out to Loch Raven fishing from the shoreline near the golf course and the crappie were hitting pretty good. I was using a 3"" blue and silver surface popper. I switched over to a green and chartruse lizard and caught a few small largemouth bass."

Loch Raven Reservoir Smallmouth Bass Tips: [ Add Tip ]
Smallmouth Bass Tips for Current Conditions:
Smallmouth bass fishing is going to be pretty slow at this water temperature. Bass will typically start moving much slower and feeding less aggressive until the water temperature starts to get back down to comfortable levels. When the water temperature is up this high, get out fishing early and late and cast in the shallows. When the sun is up it will be time to get out into deeper water, try fishing some drop offs and deep channel bends.

- Right now the crappie seem to be hitting on a 3" white mr twister twited tail grub with a 3/8oz chartruse lead head. From the shoreline throw it and let it sink and sit on bottom for a few seconds then reel it in slow hopping it across the bottom and they seem to be hitting pretty good.

I too have had no luck fishing for crappie for the past month from the
shore. I have used various color with trout magnets, shad darts and minnows
and still not one crappie. My conclusion is you need to fishing from a boat
and know the spots.

Loch Raven Reservoir Walleye Fishing
Loch Raven Reservoir Walleye Tips: [ Add Tip ]
Walleye Tips for Current Conditions:
Walleye will be starting to get a little slower in this water temperature. With walleye being a cold water fish, they will start becoming fairly lethargic in this water. With the fish slowing down the fishing will be more difficult to find and coax into biting. However they will be feeding and the walleye bite should still be good. This time of year is a good time to fall back to live bait as standard practice for the best bet at numbers and size of fish.

Current Lunar Fishing Tip:
The affects of the moon on freshwater fish and game are at a minimum right now. There will be another full moon coming up here in a few days. The fisherman should never use this as an excuse to not get on the water. The affects of the moon can only enhance the outcome of a day's fishing not decrease potential catch for today. On days without the new or full moon, all other factors including weather, barometric pressure, wind and cloud cover will make up today's equation for success.
