Getting to be that time of year again.

I started kayak fishing last year. Caught more fish in the past 5 years combined.

Anyone else kayak fish?

I put in at Lake Norman or mountain Island Lake. Would like to try badin Lake this year.

i live right on the tar river inland/costal line and during the season Id go 2-3 times a week. My biggest stripped bass so far is 37 inches, no idea on weight had no scale and he was too big so I released him.

The most I've had on at one time was 4, I went over a school while trolling, lotta fun!

I've only caught 1 large mouth bass ever out here though.

Let me know when you get ready to hit Badin. I fish it often in my boat and I can point you to a few places. What's your target species?

 

Also you may want to cross over Tillery and go back in the Uwharrie River. Take the ultra light and catch some stray small mouth if you're lucky.

Thanks!

I catch mainly spotted up here. Sometimes a nice large mouth. When the bass aren't biting I grab the ultra light tackle and go for the pan fish.

Does the river run fast enough for it to be difficult to paddle against?

You bought a kayak just so you have an excuse not to take me out fishing anymore didn't you?

 

Hell, Bo in Monroe used to take me fishing then he sold his boat just so he wouldn't have to take me out. First he said the motor blew up, then he went and sold it!  

 

If I had feelings, they might be hurt over all this.  Not my fault I always out fished you guys.

That river is an easy paddle. I've done it in a canoe, years ago.

Used to be able to catch nice white bass in the mouth of that river in spring. Now they've been run out by the white perch for the most part.

That's happening all over. White perch are all over Lake Norman now

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking

      I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
