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

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
