If I don't know the answer we'll find it out some how some where or if you just want to talk feel free I love to talk especially fishing.

At 8:58pm on January 19, 2016, Jim Gronaw said…: Hey Gary...two other good kayak lakes are:

Piney Run Park, Eldersburg, MD...298 acre lake with gret number of 3-4 lb bass, some crappies to 14 in and big gills, plus bonus stripers. County Park lake, entry fee and launch fee, but some great fishing possible if you hit it right in late April to early June.

Long Arm Dam, York Co., south of Hanover, PA. 260 acre lake, good for yaks, excellent bass with chance at a 5 lber. Rat l Traps and Lucky Craft Pointers. Some crappie and possible northern pike action. Late April to June, for C&R out-of-season bass.

Let me know if you need more info.
