Super User everythingthatswims Posted October 15, 2018 Super User Posted October 15, 2018 I was in the Outer Banks chasing salty critters this weekend, but my little brother was back home harassing our green friends as per usual. I had a couple of friends from WV with me, one of them is a big swimbait guy, and he had a couple baits and rods in his truck that we left at my house in VA. He told my little brother he could take the stuff out for a test drive while we were in NC, and he took full advantage of that! Small local body of water, it has giant bass but they are extremely pressured. I have spent countless days on it and have landed 3 big fish, but all were in the 6 pound class. The big fish there definitely eat big shad, so the 8" bull shad did the trick, this fish makes it look small! He was kayak fishing, and I think the lack of trolling motor noise probably contributed to this big fish letting her guard down, because they have trolling motors buzzing over their heads almost every day of the year when the water isn't frozen. 8lbs, 11oz, just under 24"!!! 27 Quote

Fairtax4me Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Can’t tell you how many times I’ve blanked on that lake. This does seem to be the time of year to fish it though! 1 Quote
