I'm going to hit Lake Rhodhiss tomorrow and Hickory on Tuesday......Full report on Tuesday evening or Wednesday evening. Lake Rhodhiss: Fished 6 hours yesterday with fair results. Me and my fishing parter landed 5 bass the largest being only 2 lbs. All came off cranbaits off of points with the exception of one that came on a beaver bait in a cut right on the bank. The one thing that was common to every fish caught was the baits were deep inside the fishes mouth. Crankbaits used: Bomber models A shad, black back, Suddreth white and chartruse(they no longer are In production) and a bomber flat sided bait, baby bass. Fished Hickory for three hours this morning without much luck..A few dinks on crankbaits was all. We couldn't stay out very long...... Hopefully the reports will be better soon. Keep In mind though that It's getting that time and It's come none too soon. Good fishing gentlemen...

Welcome from the Hickory area.

Just a reminder......

Not near as elaborate but my meager contribution.....Nice room cwen, very nice. http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr290/whitwolf/SANY0073.jpg Edit: This Is actually a closet off my bedroom and was posted on the closet thread so I'm not sure It applies to this thread. lol

Welcome aboard....I'm from the Hickory area.

Still working on this.... http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr290/whitwolf/SANY0073.jpg

My family Is from Burgaw(Near Wilmington)...It's not uncommon to see gators and snakes on the Northeast Cape Fear river to be sure....Many water snakes here on the local lakes in Western NC but none of the poisonious variety that I'm aware of except the copperheads and I have yet to see one actually In the water. Basspack didn't they find like a 10' Rattle snake around Burgaw a few years back? I remember seeing a picture of it. I'll do some looking and see if I can find it. Frog, my cousin showed me a picture just the other day of a farmer that killed one inbetween Atkinson and Burgaw....Biggest rattlesnake I have ever seen. He said the thing weighed 90+ pounds. Ill get him to send me the picture and post It.

Most of the boys around here in Hickory/Lenoir NC use a product called Smelly Jelly....I have found nothing that works better although I will admit that I've only used the origanal fish formula, Berkley, and carolina lunker suase.....It stays with the bait for quite sometime and I have had a jar on occasion for over a year....

I have a closet dedicated to fishing......I will post a pic. when I get to ten posts. lol

I usually fish a few ponds down In Pender county throughout the year and I've always had good luck In the Spring with 4" Zoom dead ringers.....Green pumpkin, watermellonseed, and pb&j have been the best colors for me.

Thanks for the Information......I'll be going to Greensboro for at least a day.....As for the folks representing the Wolfpack all I can say Is "bless you". Go 'Pack!

I tried it once, flew up to Duluth MN and can safely say that the few fish we caught were not worth being In 0 degree temps...lol That's the coldest this Southern boy has ever been.

Exactly. Time Is always at a premium so If I'm on the fish I stay right where I am at.

I found this place today looking for material on fishing the shaky-head rig........Hello from near Hickory NC.
