Lake Blue Ridge Spring fishing

On March 24, 2016

Lake Blue Ridge is starting its Spring fishing patterns. TVA is starting to bring the lake up and the fish are starting to move up close to their spawning areas. I’ve been catching fish on pebble rocking banks and points, using tube baits, small crank baits and jigs. Were just coming off full moon so anything […]

Spring is just a cast away

On March 1, 2016

We’ve had a crazy wet winter, our lakes have been up and down two or three times due to all the rain fall. But Spring time is just a cast away. With the warmer weather starting and the days getting longer, the fish are starting to move up. I’ve had the chance to fish Lake […]

Dale Hollow Lake – Winter Smallmouth

On January 12, 2016

There is nothing in the world more fun than catching winter Smallmouth, especially when your fishing Dale Hollow where the world record Smallmouth was caught. We went up to Dale Hollow a couple weeks ago hoping the water temps was in the mid 40’s. We was looking to throw the floating fly and catch Smallmouth, but […]

Lake Chatuge Spotted Bass

On January 1, 2016

Lake Chatuge has been fishing good all season, despite all the wet weather we’ve been having. The fish are already wet so it don’t seem to bother them, and it don’t bother me. I learned years ago you need good rain gear if your going to be on the lake 200 days out of the […]

Lake Nantahala 2015

On December 31, 2015

The best way to end 2015 is fishing. So I chose to fish one of the prettiest lakes I guide on, which would be Lake Nantahala in North Carolina. It’s a deep clear lake with allot of lay downs and rocky banks. One of the great features about lake Nantahala is it’s only got Largemouth and Smallmouth bass. If your looking to […]

Fall Fishing on Lake Burton

On November 9, 2015

Some of my best days fishing lake Burton has been cloudy overcast days with rain showers. Yesterday was no exception, we had just that with a little added wind. We marked a lot of fish but getting them to bite was the trick, but when we did we made it count. We had some nice […]

Lake Chatuge Rainy and Wet

On October 10, 2015

It was a nasty rainy and windy Saturday, but these kids wanted to fish. There is nothing I like seeing more than kids wanting to fish. It’s pouring the rain when I pull up to the dock but these troopers are ready to go. Now let me add, this day was not even a day the ducks wanted […]

Lake Chatuge Magnum Spots

On October 8, 2015

Well finally after a week of hurricane rains, we got to have a day with no rain Sunday. But we had some high winds that kept us from fishing most of the main lake points. The fish we caught was deep and seem to only want a shaky head and a Texas rig, and was holding […]

Labor Day Weekend on Lake Burton

On September 15, 2015

Despite the Labor Day traffic, we were still able to catch a good size largemouth and a nice size spot, before the boat traffic got too bad. But now that the holiday is past and the cooler weather has started, the best fishing is just ahead. There is no mountain views like Lake Burton in […]
