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

      That does sound familiar. Those fans are deep. In snow lol. you don’t want to be up there in January.   I would think they have probably seen it all. Except what…  the championship? Gotta feel for them.

      I thought he was from watching him play and also doing his first HC job. I thought he was the real deal  Apparently what happened is Kraft committed to Mayo and I don’t remember the timeline exactly - but Vrabel was unemployed at the same time Belichick was unemployed. They both were fired (or out) after the 2023 season.  Kraft hired Mayo. Who was kind of an obvious disaster. He probably already had the deal in place but I will give Kraft credit for not sleeping. With Vrabel out there for 2025 he made the move he needed to make and if it hurt Mayo’s feelings then oh well.  I guess you can tell I am not fond of Kraft but that was a really savvy move. At his age, pretty good. Still has it.

      It’s going to feel like a home game for the bills. There are so many of their fans that live down here now, and many of them have never seen Allen play in person since their last visit was 8 years ago. It didn’t matter for the cowboys game, but it might here. I think we likely lose a close one. Probably a questionable flag or two that doesn’t go our way. X factor for Buffalo will be Kincaid and Knox. If we do win it’s because we get ahead and play keep away from Allen. FYI- I have many friends who are Bills fans that are fed up with Beane who we all revere and think is the one that got away. They feel like he was great to land Josh but has done a terrible job of building around him (especially at WR) and rely on him to become super man to win- sounds kind of familiar, like the last time we had a franchise QB.
