>>567088Really late on a reply to this. Last time I tried my browser kept crashing until I had a moment of "fuck it" and gave up.
Give this page a look:
http://reservations.dnr.state.md.us/It boils down to what you consider "camping", and some of the better places seem to be damned near to Pennsylvania anyway. There are a handful of fair-to-nice sized man-made lakes with camping grounds you can reserve to pitch tent. Pre-made fire rings, hot showers, electrical hook-ups and so-on. It's all very far from "roughing it" or getting away from other people doing the same thing (unless you luck out and nobody else is there at the time).
>>567140>Blue FoxThey used to make the "Hidden Head Worm Hook" for Texas Rigging where a tapered weight slid right into the soft-plastic worm. About as weedless and natural looking as you could possibly get. They stopped making them and I haven't found anything like it in years.

>>568486Some states have actually banned the use of LED/Light-Up lures for being potentially too effective. Whether or not they actually are I couldn't say but there seems to be a lot of R&D going into things like LED lights and UV paints.
>>570012Chartreuse or White & Chartreuse Spinnerbait wouldn't be a bad call. Willow-leaf blade if you're fishing over top of thicker grass. If the grass is sparse go for more thump with a big Colorado blade. I talked myself into paying the piper and got a Shadow Rap jerkbait that has been delivering nicely. I wouldn't necessarily say you should get one of those specifically but a jerkbait of some kind is also worth having in your arsenal. Grubs, other soft plastics, and jig spinners too.
>>570054>>570062For smaller/finesse lures like that and grubs I do pic related. Flap keeps it fairly snag-resistant but hooksets are easy when you feel a tug.
