yeah i knew that carp spook really easily and how they like to sit there and suck on a bait for a long time...this is why i hate going fishing with other people...which i normally have to do to get a ride there....they are always loud and they always try to set the hook as soon as they see a bite...not only that but the best fishing spot in the lake is usually over-run with the ducks and geese cuz people like to feed them and they all go rushing after the bread and they prolly scare everything away by doing this.
oh yeah i forgot to mention there was also a sewage leak in this lake from the workers building on the new roads and thats why i think in the past year or so about 50% of the fish maybe more have died....i noticed this during the bass spawning season this year...last year i could see over 20 or 30 swimming in the shallows, this year i saw a grand total of 3 the entire spawning season and only caught one of those 3...
infact i think this is why some largemoth bass are starting to show up in the magothy river (the lake is actually the upper part of this river) and the river is of brakish water and is connected to the chesapeake bay....i think some of the fish may have left the lake to seek more habitable water and they are adapting to the saltier waters...my dad was even telling me about how he was catching largemouth down in the magothy river.
but anyways there are some bits of info in there that can help me in ways so thanks, [laugh]
