I'm in Maryland and fish in Little Seneca Lake as often as I can. I typically go for bass, but this year I've had an interest in targeting both crappies and bluegills there.
I used to fish down in Md, at a lake in the black hills regional park in montgomery county and had them pretty well figured out ... That place had some good sized crappie just about all the time.. Any other folks fish there, or have fished there??

I used to fish Conowingo Reservoir quite a bit for crappie. But no longer live there, so its been a while.
If I remember right, the hydrilla should be up pretty high now over there.. There used to be a sweet spot in the cove by the bridge, on the side that you park on.. I think(if memory serves me) that you see one of the drop offs where they'd hang out at.. I used to go there for dinner every evening before going home.. I'd get about 10 or so VERY nice sized crappie from there to take home.. There's also the "stick-ups" when not over run by hydrilla as well as over in the housing developement there on the back side of the lake..Originally Posted by tomas
That place brings back good memories for me, lol.. There was many a day I'd freak my buddy out by pointing out schools of crappie as the worked there way into the cove, or towards us and catching 6 or so before they'd move back out farther from shore...
Best of luck to you, and enjoy!!

Well the hydrilla is coming up, but it isn't quite as bad (yet) as it has been in years past. Give it another month and the stuff will completely eliminate shore fishing possibilities.Originally Posted by tuxdaddy
I know the cove you are talking about. I haven't had any luck in there myself, but it certainly is lined with shore anglers.
Well from the parking spot, if you head down to the cut out,(where some folks put their boats , canoes and such), then head back towards the back of the cove. There used to be a little spot where you pretty much had to step in the water, then about 50 feet from there, you should be able to see the hydrilla drop off(if you are wearing polarized specs ), and fan cast that area.. If I remember right give a 2 or 3 count with a 1/16th rooster tail, and start your retrieve, and if you dont get a bit increase the count..
Also try over at the boat ramp, but on the finger, where no boats go in.. Go over at the finger and work the stick ups out off the very tip...
