Looking for ice fishing partner in or around Balto,md., for this coming winter.

[icefisherinbalto,md.]

I usually fish Martin's Lagoon. But am interested to travel to other locations close by. This could be my last winter here in Maryland. I don't drive, but more than willing to pay gas costs etc. I also have lots of ice fishing gear if you would like to try this great sport. Just bring yourself, kids, whoever. It can be a real blast. Hope to here from someone this winter!!!

Welcome to the Md page.  Not many guys start to post until early December.  I fish west of you.  Greenbriar Lake mostly with a couple trips every year to DCL..  Bout forty miles west of you.  REB9

Im just south of Baltimore in Elkridge....fish deep creek or greenbriar mostly...never tried martins but would like to check it out for sure. Its getting close!!!

Welcome aboard. I'm WAY south, but DCL ya can't go wrong!

[Douger]

Welcome, even further south than cyclo, Stafford, VA.  No safe ice here!  Fished DCL once with cyclo last year, looking forward to ice there this year.  Normally fish hard water on Lake Champlain, Shoreham, VT.

I live in Fells Points, would be happy to meet up. I only got out a few times last year, best luck at Rocky Gap. Hoping to get out more this year. Also the wife is doing a work rotation in Garrett County all of Feb so hopefully I'll be spending some time out there too.

Hey guys, I plan on going to DCL few times this winter for some jumbo perch. If you're willing to share the road with me then shoot PM or reply here. I live in College Park

[Douger]

balto, are you talking about the Middle River area NE of Baltimore, semi reasonable commute for me to do a couple of days, prefer weekdays.

[icefisherinbalto,md.]

Yes Douger. If you need specific directions I can let you know. It is also known as Dark Head Cove.

FYI to all...they are doing some work in the lagoon dredging and such.

And as soon as they started dredging to remove chemicals the soft water fishing went down hill fast. I believe they are suppose to wrap it up 15 Jan so it won't effect the spawning season. Then start back up again next fall. I'm not sure what it will do to the population since that's a wintering spot for a lot of fish, but I have a bad feeling we will see a fish kill.

Fred have you fished there recently?

[Flying Frenchman]

Mike,   I saw the warning signs last month and stayed away....  I'll still C/R there if we get ice.     

[Mikeguard01]

Fred,
I also heard that there will be condos built in the future. I imagine that will also have a negative impact fishing that area.

. If this weather holds up we will see some ice soon. If not I'm thinking trying a slip bobber in the reservoir.

[icefisherinbalto,md.]

So much for ice fishing the Lagoon this winter. These reports of dredging don't sound good.

[Mikeguard01]

I might do a drive by today and check things out.

[icefisherinbalto,md.]

Let us know what's going on Mike.

[Mikeguard01]

I didn't get a chance to check it out today.

If you still debating fish DCL or not this weekend, check out this web cam. It looks like the whole lake is frozen. http://www.deepcreektimes.com/webcam2.asp
I'll going out there from College Park on Sunday. Can share a road with one or two good guys.
