setter Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Hey Steve, I live in the Winston-Salem area and fish Belews often. Shoot me an email and we will talk about a trip. Tyler Quote
Hillbilly_Hooker Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Steve, I'm an hour north of W-S, just off I-77 in SW VA. Give me a shout sometime... I occasionally fish Lake Norman and others. Hillbilly Quote
DMB Fan Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Welcome Steve! I'm here in Greensboro and I havent made to belews yet. I know theres some great fishing on the creek. During this time of year I mainly fish the city lakes due to time restraints. Not to take away a member from BR but you should try NCangler.com you will find more indepth info on the lakes that surround NC. Stay intouch once summer hits and my wife is done teaching and my son is out of school (she owes me big time) I will be hitting more lakes maybe we can hook up. Weekends are out since I work only weekends. Tightlines Keith. Quote
F150FishinNC Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 hey man for sure we gotta get together I'm actually in college so I have some time through the week to get out on the lake Quote
smcentee Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Hi Steve, I'm in Jamestown and regulary fish City Lake in JT which is about 2 miles from my door. Landlocked, I find this lake to offer good bank fishing; maybe up to a 1/4 mile that can be fished from the bank. Last week I caught a 6# in 3-4' of water on a shallow crank, and a 3 3/4# in about 2 feet on a spinner. Not too bad for this time of year. The lake is pretty shallow; deepest channel is about 35' when the lake is full. With water levels being down past summer and fall, I'm looking for some pretty good size bass this season. The lake does rent boats, but the bummer is that you don't get oars, you get paddles. Rowing solo can be an exercise in frustration. A small trolling motor works well. If you feel like taking a drive some day you may want to check it out. Good bass, catfish, huge carp, crappie, white and yellow perch, garden variety pan fish, and some pike. Quote
F150FishinNC Posted March 1, 2008 Author Posted March 1, 2008 Hey man I've heard JT city lake has some good fishin I'm gonna try it tuesday if it's not too cold thanks Quote
EmanBfisher Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Hi, New here and somewhat new to Winston-Salem. Just getting back into bass fishing. I appreciate the info on places to fish. I just started looking myself. Quote
bassrogue Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 I live in Raleigh, a few minutes from Falls and Jordan lakes. I'm always up for fishing if I have any free time. I have access to a boat but no way to pull it at the present time, so I do a lot of bank beating too. If you or anyone in the area want to do a little fishin let me know and we can try to set something up. F150, Just wondering.........Did you ever live in Durham by any chance? BR Quote
F150FishinNC Posted March 2, 2008 Author Posted March 2, 2008 never lived in durham but dated somebody that did lol does that count? Quote
bassrogue Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 It's a small world, It might count. lol Just checkin, I know a guy that had an F150 and moved to W-S. I haven't talked to him in a while. BR Quote
Jake. Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 If you feel like taking a drive some day you may want to check it out. Good bass, catfish, huge carp, crappie, white and yellow perch, garden variety pan fish, and some pike. There's pike in City Lake??? Quote

There are Pickerel, distant cousin? of pike, in City Lake. I've never hooked one, but have spoken with a few that have. Jeff, worked at the Fish Hut signing folks in, caught two fishing a fluke in the small lagoon north of the back parking lot. Look for the dead pine tree laying out some 20' in the water. Did you know there are also bowfin in the lake? I caught one fishing for channel cat and thought it was a snakehead; strange looking fish. Know of any good ponds in the area? Quote
