This morning was quite likely the best weather we have had so far this season for some early morning pond fishing here in Calvert County, MD. I joined up with a friend at a local private community pond for a little bass fishing.

I have heard many people say this pond is good only for the regular spring/fall trout stocking that MD DNR does here every year. They say that the only time to fish here is the 2 to 3 week period following that stocking. I am here to tell you they are wrong.
