I'm visiting relatives In Charlotte and am looking to cast my first line of the year there.

(I live in NY and ice just came off about a week ago)

Was wondering if any of you gentlemen can offer any good tips on fishing in the south?

Thanks all and enjoy Easter weekend

Get ready........

If you go to Norman, accidentally catch yourself a gar...fun fish haha

According to SCDNR the spawn is about a month behind. Very few fish on beds at Murray. Norman should be about the same. Good luck

just spent friday morning down in NC pond hopping on a jon boat. i almost took a spill in the water getting on the boat the first pond we hit lol. luckily i was able to regain balance and stabilize the boat instead of falling in and ruining my cell phone and wallet. my friends got a good laugh at me still though, talking about the look on my face lol. i wasnt anywhere near Charlotte though, we fished in Nash County. first pond was an old rock pit that my friends had never fished before and by all appearances had no fish in it and was extremely deep. Next pond we went all the way around it and only got three fish, one being a huge bluegill that took a crankbait one friend was fishing. the first fish was a bass my bro-in-law took on a top water torpedo. my bass came on the last stretch of the pond, i was fishing a t-rigged berkeley 5in shakey worm in red shad color with a pegged 1/4oz weight. i had pretty much just tied it on too. was lucky to not be the only one to get skunked. i also threw a senko, pit boss, spinnerbait, rage toad, and husky jerk to no avail...
