I am designated driving a group of friends to and from the Wine in the Woods event at Merriweather Post Pavilion this Sunday. Not interested in wine, so I figured I would take advantage of having a car and check out some fishing spots around there. Anyone know any good water?

Any tips are greatly appreciated,

Dave

Lake Elkhorn and Centennial Lake have not been too bad for bass recently. Patapsco Avalon and Patapsco Daniels area are also relatively close to Columbia.

I have fished Wilde Lake in Columbia. It is an easy walk around and somewhat pressured. But not a bad place to kill some time. 30 mins away is Snell's Greenhouse. They have 2 ponds and you pay $10 to fish between 9AM - 5PM. I have fished there 4 times and always caught several bass. Most of them small but the occasional 2-4lber.
