Maryland's Eastern Region
Fishing for chain pickerel is probably the best show in town right now for fishermen looking for some action on a nice sunny day at their favorite local water. Spoons, spinners, crankbaits and good old minnows are all good baits to use. Largemouth bass fishermen can look for bass holding deep along any kind of structure they can find down there. Steep channel edges, deep sunken wood such as logs or cypress knees or old bridge piers are all good places to fish. Small, slow and right on the bottom will be the ticket to find bass willing to think about picking up an easy meal. The bass are not in much of a feeding mood so one needs to just about put it right in front of their face. Soft plastics, jigs and lures such as Silver Buddies need to be worked slow right on the bottom. Many fishermen switch to light lines this time of the year since the fish are so finicky. Chris Sperlein holds up a nice largemouth bass he caught and released recently from a small pond in the eastern region.
