Roger Hunter Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Hi, My name is Roger and I am in Charlotte, NC. I work for the city fire department and I am married with a teenage Son. We own a Triumph 195 DC boat that we use for fishing and boating fun. I mostly fish in 1 of 3 lakes close to my home. They are Lake Wylie, Mountain Island Lake and Lake Norman. We occasionaly take out boat to the coast and fish out of Little River. I am not shy about keeping my feet on the ground and fishing a farm pond either. As long as I am fishing I am happy. I look forward to participating in the forums here. Thanks, Roger Quote

Roger Hunter Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 Hey Roger! Good to see another CLT area person on here. I hit Lake Wylie quite a bit. I got a modified tracker 1436 jon I take out quite a bit as well as a fun pond out in Jefferson. If you do not mind, what area of Wylie do you hit? Hey! I usually put in weekdays at Copperhead landing. I then head north back towards Mtn. Island and I fish coves and creek channels on the N.C. side ONLY! I will also find ledges and holes and hit them. I like to try and find places I havent hit before. As far as catfish I like to go at night and find a ledge along the channels and drop a few on the bottom and suspend a couple about 10-15 feet from the surface. I seem to have luck picking up those that roll to the top in warmer nights. The largest Bass I catch seem to be off the points of out croppings and islands. On the S.C. side there is a submerged farm and silo about a mile north of the busterboyd bridge. I hear there is a good variety of cats, bass and crappie in the area. :-X Your Turn! Quote
Roger Hunter Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 Disclaimer: Folks, I abide by the laws of S.C. and I really do not invade S.C. without a lic. I know about those areas because i had a S.C. lic. 2 years and I remember the great fishing there. Quote

done Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 I put in at the launch around the allen steam station. I have carried an NC&SC license for a couple years so I do not have to care about what state I am in. I focus on a the numerous coves out in that area. Usually in the spring and fall you can pick up a mess in the coves, winter i am struggling, and summer the same coves that pick up Bass, have HUGE cats. FYI...so far this winter I have been pulling 3-5 lbers in 8-12 ft of water. The coves I hit, it seems to be the magic depth. Once thing i can catch lots of is catfish. Usually just using nightcrawlers I can grab a mess of them. Quote
Roger Hunter Posted January 17, 2009 Author Posted January 17, 2009 Its good to see so many from NC here. Thanks for the comments. As for winter fishing, well I havent done any this year. After surgery I just couldnt. I am now itchy to go but I still have to wait until the Phys. Therapist say I can go back to work. See, I am out on sick leave and they might frown if they find out I am on the lake when I am out sick. So I will follow the rule and be a good fireman. Quote
