Fishing is getting Hot

On March 6, 2022

Spring is in the air and fishing is getting hot, the Spotted bass and Largemouth bass are starting to move up near the spawning areas.

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 […]
