Billy,I'm also a Md.hole puncher.A friend and I mainly fish Sheperd Meyers but would like to explore different lakes that are within easy driving distance.I went to check out Shep.Meyers on 12/29 and it has ice on the upper end all the way down to the neck down area about mid-lake.If the wind dies down,the rest goes fast.If you've never fished there,it's stocked with trout but in the past I've caught a ton of bull bluegills.Last year the bulls were m.i.a. but big honk'in y.perch were around.There are some slab crappie to be had but we've never been able to find a school of them.We move alot searching for active fish so if you see 2 guys with vexilars and a trail of holes behind, it's us.

Steve,I live in Md.about 30 miles south of Hanover and I have been chomping at the bit to get on some ice ever since the ice left in feb.Where is this lake exactly? Any info. I can get is greatly appretiated.

SUBJECT    :Developing ice
REPORTER : Steven Morrison
POSTED      : 11:38:34 12/27/2001
We were out at the lake the other day to see how the ice was forming. It looks like there is a small 1 inch layer on the water. If the weather stays like it is and the wind isn't too strong, the ice will be hard enough to fish on in a week. I've spent a lot of this week getting the gear together.

PS.
Shane ford is ready to get out on that ice!

SUBJECT    :trout and bass
REPORTER : Steven Morrison
POSTED      : 11:35:54 01/14/2001
The ice is still thick and we are still having pretty good luck. We were out a few times this week and cought some really nice trout. We caught a perch and a lot of bass. we even landed a few nice crappie. The fishing is still pretty good.

SUBJECT    :Trout and Crappie
REPORTER : Steven Morrison
POSTED      : 12:28:02 12/31/2000
The ice is thick enough and the fish are biting. We caught three species of fish out of one hole. Our tip-ups were going off most of the day. I could barely start jigging until one of those flags went up. We landed some really nice trout, a few decent crappies, and even some largemouth bass. Lots of people were also having good luck out on the lake. We caught the majority of the fish with jigs. The ice is solid at about 5-6 inches. There is good fishing out on the lake so far.
