I went out to the resovoir here in Boyds tonight on the other side of Black Hill State Park. The location is right below the parking lot at the small boat ramp off route 121 a quarter mile from Clopper Road on the right hand side. At about 7:00 PM I casted my first Yum Yum, Ribbon Tale worm in the "Tequila Sunrise" color. Which is a purplish, pinkish iridescent worm that has great action. It is eight inches long. I Texas rigged it with a tiny bullet sinker. It took about ten minutes of experimenting with different cadence when I started tugging a little harder and in rythm when I got my first hit and landed a 1.5 lb bass. He destroyed that worm so I decided to try a 6 inch watermellon seed, Zoom rubber lizard which is a translucent green with specs. I casted out as far to middle as I could and after about three tries, also with a strong tugging cadence, another similar size bass hit it pretty violently about 12 feet from shore. Lastly, I put back another Tequlilla Sunrise worm. I walked about 40 yards from where I was towards the back of the cove. I quickly nailed my last similar fish. I did also try an orange and grey, crayfish like rubber Yum Yum that did not garner any strikes after 10 casts. I have started walking about 50-100 feet from where I catch the bass to release them. I have heard a spooked fish can upset the rest of the bass around. It seemed to have worked because the first two fish where caught within feet of each other.
The temperature was in the mid to low eighties and the surface was very calm. That area of the lake is covered in hydrilla so go on top or covered up or you will get snagged and lose lures and bait.
As always, if you are looking for a home to mount that trophy fish or need to sell a place to get closer to your favorite fishing spot, don't hesitate to call!

Hi all Montogmery County, MD anglers. I have decided to try and update you as much as I can with regards to where the fish are.
6-29-2010 6:30 PM-8:00 PM I caught a 19 inch, 4.5 lb bass in the pond off of Lakelands Blvd. In total we caught six small to medium large mouth bass off the top using poppers. I used a chrome colored popper with a red face.
6-30-20106:45 PM to 8:45 PM Lake Varuna. I hooked a huge bass that I was unable to land. To my surprise at 20 feet from shore it jumped out of the water in the opitomy of bass action we love and broke the line. My guess is 4-5 lbs. He fought much harder thn the big bass I caught the day before. It got away with my brand new Magnum chrome popper. I loved that lure.
7-1-2010 7:00AM -8:00 AMLittle Lake Seneca. Loads of swells and basslike activity. No bites. It feels like this lake has been fished out. No matter what I throw in there I rarely get any bites. I think the local ponds are better right now.
Good luck bass fishing and please share any tips or spots!
Another indicator of what the real estate market is doing in a particular region is called the absorbtion rate. The absorbtion rate is calculated by dividing the number of homes available by the number of homes sold in one month. Right now there are 4,426 house actively listed in Montgomery County, excluding new construction. A search of the MRIS with a contrat date of 2-24-2009+ revealed 888 homes. The calculations show a 5 month suplly of homes or a 20% absorption rate. The funny thing is that anything under six moths is usually considered a seller's market. That's a wow statistic, coupled with the low rates that should get you buyers off the fence!
I am going to present three offers tonight on a listing in Germantown that I have had on the market for two weeks. The sellers staged the property well, priced it within the range of the recent comparables and I put together a wonderful tour using Homevisit.com. The home has been shown sixteen times. Wow! I can't guarantee that one of the offers will be ratified, but multiple offers in this market is definitely a good thing. Could it be a sign of better times?
I have heard from several agents recently that they have been involved in multiple offer presentations. It is said that there is no sound when the market hits bottom and until the market starts going up you don't know that you were there. I am not making that claim, but multiple offer presentations on several occassions with several different properties is a great place to start!
If you want to sell your house in Germantown, this is a very encouraging sign! Call me and let's talk!

Maryland REALTOR blogs about the current real estate market in Montgomery County Maryland.
Wow, it's been about nineteen years since I began my career in real estate at 19 years old. I have literally a "lifetime" of experience since. I was just a scrawny, hungry kid that needed to support himself. By knocking on doors, cold calling and working until all hours of the night I managed to get people to give me a chance. Nearly 20 years later I am still here. Not so scrawny anymore, but wiser, more patient and really well prepared.
Over the years I learned that real estate is a people oriented, service business. It's not an assembly line where each client or property can be treated the same. I know that making sure that buyers and sellers needs are met is the key to success. I also know that a quality presentation both online and on paper helps sell a well priced, well staged home in any market.
There are numerous variables in a real estate transaction that can affect the outcome. Knowing what to look for and how to react from either side of the transaction is critical to having a smooth transaction. I don't use gimmicks to attract clients. My business is mainly referral because I have an honest, consultative approach that allows my clients to make the proper decisions. You know, every client has a different perspective about what works for them and finding that formula is my key to helping people.
I like to establish a working relationship with my clients to fit their needs, lifestyle and schedule. If it makes it easier for them then I do my best to make it happen that way. I will back up any advice I give using quantifiable market data, years of experience and a common sense approach. I have established excellent working relationships with other real estate experts including attorneys, inspectors, accountants, insurance providers and others that I can refer to in the event that my clients need specialty advice. I think you can have fun finding a home and I think selling a home doesn't have to be that stressful. With the proper planning, strategy and attitude it can actually be pleasurable.

My Specialty
I am an expert at service first and foremost. My professional policy is open and frequent, truthful communication. I work with very nearly the same amount of buyers and sellers each year, so I have an excellent perspective from both sides of the transaction.
I am an Accredited Home Staging Professional which works out very well for my sellers and their buyers. It's important to me to make sure that my clients know that I am available for them when they need me. A large percentage of my clients are upscale buyers and sellers. They are typically successful individuals who have their own careers and need a flexible agent to work around their schedule. Most of my clients buy and sell homes between $600,000 and $2,000,0000; however I am just as comfortable helping first time purchasers. I embrace technology and have the latest and greatest tools at my disposal. All of my web tours are professionally prepared. I will only use well-lit photographs of staged property in any of my tours. All of my brochures and mailers are professionally prepared using full-bleed, high quality printing and glossy card stock.
My clients benefit from my thorough knowledge of Montgomery County, Maryland. Primarily my clients buy or sell in the Bethesda, Potomac, North Potomac, Rockville, Germantown and Boyds areas of Montgomery County. To find Maryland real estate in any of these areas go to Maryland real estate listings.
