need help finding good places to ice fish
« on: Feb 04, 2015, 07:42 AM »
This is my second year ice fishing and I have only had moderate success doing so and I have been trying to find good places to go ice fishing that will allow me to enjoy the sport more because I really like ice fishing I live in Hancock maryland

Try Rockygap or Greenbrier.

At Rocky Gap, take the first right off 68 about 1/2 mile to little white church. Fish off parking lot just past church. Be careful of thick weeds. I usually fish about 7' under ice, just above weeds. Bluegills, perch & trout. Best bite last 2 or 3 hours before dark- best last 1/2 hour.

Good luck!

There are mostly small bluegills and crappie so make sure you use appropriate tackle, also you need to look for fish, keep drilling until you get a consistent bite, I suppose they are now at 12-15'.
