RoachDad Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Hey guys, I live in Welcome NC, just south of Winston-Salem. My big lakes are High Rock and Badin. I fish Tom-a-lex which is 15 minutes from my house. I also fish a private pond in Lewisville. How many out there live near me? Tom-a-lex was very full and very muddy Tuesday. Even though it last rained on Thursday April 4! I was really surprised. The private pond was also very muddy this weekend. Caught a few crappie in Tom-a-lex. Tuesday was 80+ and even though it was 2 in the afternoon, there were several boats there. I wanted to fish the creeks but they all had boats in them. I got on a flat off the main lake can caught the crappie on a spinner. I have caught some bass on that spinner which is why I was fishing it. Id like to get down to Badin this weekend. I have not been there in years but I am kind of tired of HR. Want to find some cleaner water. If anyone fishes Badin and has any suggestions, let me know. later friends. Quote

gotarheelz14 Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Hey, I live in Greensboro NC and recently thought about fishing Tom-a-Lex out of my kayak. I have heard mixed reviews on it. What's your take on the lake? Quote
hunt1moore Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Tillery is as close as I got. Water was clear but fish were tight lipped. Caught a few small chasing minnows just as the sun was touching the tree tops. Quote
RoachDad Posted April 17, 2013 Author Posted April 17, 2013 I've been down on Tom-a-Lex the last couple years, but it may be that I am just doing a bad job of fishing. 10 years ago I caught plenty of fish. I got into golfing and pretty much stopped fishing. I would hit it a couple times a year and decided the lake was dead, but maybe I just wasn't doing very good. It is so close to me that I am going to fish it hard this year and decide if it is any good or not. I would think it would be great for Kayak. Not too big, but not too small Hey, I live in Greensboro NC and recently thought about fishing Tom-a-Lex out of my kayak. I have heard mixed reviews on it. What's your take on the lake? Quote
