jrod67 Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Hey guys. I grew up in South Alabama and I've been in NC for quite a while now. I mostly fished ponds and the Tombigbee river but I recently inherited a bass boat and I've been having a blast fishing in central NC. I'm amazed by the number of quality lakes within driving distance. I've fished Jordan for a few years with a buddy of mine but I plan on hitting all the major lakes around this fishing season. I've been to High Rock and I'm going to Badin Sunday. If anybody has any suggestions in helping me map out my trips they would be greatly appreciated. I've heard good things about Harris, Kerr, and Falls. Anybody know which lakes around are better in Spring/Summer/Fall? Thanks guys and I hope to see you out on the water. Quote
done Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Hey JRod. I live in the Charlotte area. Here we have Wylie, and Norman, Mountain Island Lake. I fish mainly Wylie. I also hit the mountain streams a bit near Jefferson and Lenoir. Wylie has some awesome fishing and a good deal of pros cut their teeth on Wylie. In my experience, you can't go wrong on the Catawba river chain anywhere. If you can, plan a trip to the coast and find a charter boat with a few guys to take you deep. Did that a couple years ago, went 60 miles out, had a frikkin' ball. Lake James I hear is also supposed to be awesome for trout, that is one of the spots I want to hit soon. Quote

dread1nit Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Welcome from one newbie to another. I live around the raleigh area and fish the same lakes you do. Mainly harris and jordan. Harris some days will make you break your rod from being mad. Jordan can to but is a little more forgiving. Quote
Super User Sam Posted April 12, 2009 Super User Posted April 12, 2009 Glad to have you with us. Lots of NC guys here who can give you plenty of information. You share with us, too. Quote
