BennyB Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Well it has certainly been hot here in the Piedmont of North Carolina and with that hot weather the bass have moved into their awesome summer patterns. I live for the summer time weather and the bass fishing seems to be about as good as it can be. Only thing I'm missing is a Double Digit bass, but I can't be greedy. I have been catching numerous bass here anywhere from 9 lbs and down with more large fish than dinks. Bad pictures, but just had my phone set on my hat with a self timer. I'm not sure how to upload good photos via iPhone. Maybe I can fix them tomorrow when I'm not at work. 2 Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted July 21, 2015 Super User Posted July 21, 2015 Dang dude, those are some NC pigs! What did you catch them on? Quote
BennyB Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 All my big fish have either come on a jig and craw or zoom soft plastics. Fishing very, very slow and patient Quote

Super User whitwolf Posted July 22, 2015 Super User Posted July 22, 2015 Nice work and GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WOLFPACK! Quote
MrBigFishSC Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Nice fish! We Dookies are catching a few too in your area. Plus we have the title to hoist as well. Quote
lo n slo Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Good job Benny For those that are not familiar with what we have been dealing with here in NC.....hot, very hot and dry. Stream flows and lake levels are down. Nighttime fishing is the norm for some, but for those of us who are willing to brave the heat, the big one's will bite. Deep brush piles are working for me right now along with the Texas rigged Zoom plastics. I'll be out there at first light tomorrow! 1 Quote
lo n slo Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I want to give you guys another update on the drought situation here in the western piedmont, just in case you're thinking about heading this way. Currently, most areas are in a Moderate drought, bordering on Severe drought conditions. Annual rain fall amounts are 6.5 - 7" below normal. Lake Wylie has closed boat ramps in Allison Creek and several at the Buster Boyd Bridge Acces. Most reservoirs are well below normal levels, underwater boating hazards are a major concern across the region. Quote
jparker80 Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 BennyB, I fish Jordan at times but am still new to the area, where do you usually put in up there? I fished down by the d**n and had some luck but didn't kill em, awesome fish though man! Quote
