I have been fishing this reservoir in Southern MD. The lake is fairly shallow but there is a creek channel that runs though it that is around 10-12' and one section that gets down to around 17'. It is loaded with big gills and a pretty good bunch of crappie. The last two times out I caught fish drifting the 10-12' area with marabou jigs tipped with wax worms and crappie nibblers. The bite was slow but steady and the water temps was 46. I just never found any schools as most of the marks were spread out. How would you fish under these conditions.
Lots of lines with different offerings, and many drifts til you see which ones deliver the best. Then changes most of the poles to what has shown to be the best.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
