Deep Creek Lake, MD - Kayak Fishing for Smallmouth, Chain Pickerel, and Rock Bass

For this episode I went on a brief family vacation to Deep Creek Lake, Maryland. Seeing as how the AirBnb was lakefront, I couldn't help but bring along my Native Slayer Kayak for a little fishing action. Admittedly, I didn't know much about this lake going into it, but discovered from firsthand experience that it is a vacation Mecca with some seriously challenging fishing. Despite this, it provided an opportunity to target some unfamiliar species and spend a little time with folks I don't get to see enough...
