Fishing at Cunningham Falls Lake
Type: Freshwater
Region: Western
Location: Cunningham Falls Lake
I went out today for the second day in a row in search of some big trout on the kayak. Was successful in catching and releasing 13 trout today. All trout were around 11 - 12 inches. I was able to catch a sunfish just over 10 inches. Took a few pics of it I order to see if it is a citation Redbreasted Sunny or a barely undersized Redear Sunny. Thank you MD DNR for producing such great fisheries! That’s 21 trout and 4 big sunnys just in the past 2 days!
DNR Resposne: It is difficult trying to identify your sunfish from the picture but it looks like it may be a Red Breast Sunfish but a large Bluegill or Longear Sunfish is not out of the question.

Dream Weekend
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Piney Run
I had another amazing weekend at Piney Run Reservoir. I landed two stripers, one was 32" 10.7 lbs and the other was 30"and 9.7lbs. I also got another citation largemouth for the second Saturday in a row. It was 22.25" and 4.8lbs. The bite was very slow but worth the wait.

Large Mummichog Minnow
Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Watersedge Park
I caught this minnow at Watersedge Park on a Salmon egg snelled hook. It was 5-7 inches long. Sadly she died without purpose as bait. She was belly hooked so I used her as bait. She did not yet give birth yet,which is why she died without purpose.
Q: Do common Mummichogs normally get this big? I know other MD bait fish get as big or bigger.
A: Female Mummichogs can grow to be much larger than the males as evidenced by your photograph.
