Re: Fishing

I can't imagine that NC would be much different in regards to fishing from Louisiana (where I grew up).

I wouldn't use artificial lures for bluegill - try live bait like crickets on a just a normal old fishin' pole.

With bass, there's a lure called a Rat-L-Trap - not exactly cheap, but I've caught more bass on that lure than anything else. I also prefer using plastic worms with a Texas rig for bass. Top-water lures are good, too, if you can see them feeding on the surface. Spinners are a good choice, though - I probably wouldn't use them if the water wasn't very clear and would go with something like plastic worms or the Rat-L-Trap for murky water.

Re: Fishing

As travelling is my passionate hobby. I love fishing, boating, and all water activities to make my tour more interesting and memorable. Mostly on weekends I prefer to go for fishing to nearer fishing spots of my house. My favorite fishing spots in New York City are:
Baisley Pond
Van Cortlandt Lake

I'm just above you in Virginia. What to use depends upon the particular river, creek, stream, pond or lake. When all else fails a night crawler works well, but I'd rather use artificial bait.

Any shell crackers or red eared sunfish down there?

Re: Fishing

I like to share my fishing experience with all community members. My favorite fishing place is Phuket, Thailand. I have a great experience of fishing at this destination. At this place you can find a wide range of fish species. Queenfish, is one of my favorite species to catch. I go for fishing only one time in a year. My brother is my favorite fishing partner.

I've not been fishing in Australia yet, but my favourite place used to be the creek just behind where I lived in Louisiana.

I love fishing for bass and perch.

If I were able, I'd be going 3 or 4 times a month.

My best fishing partners used to be my grandparents. I miss them. And my Uncle. We used to have a blast.

I don't know if I have a 'most interesting fishing experience of my life'. I've had too many.

Your turn, William Paul.

Torey! I love fishing for salmon and carp. My best fishing partner is my brother. We go for fishing once in a month because my brother is a doctor and he is extremely busy throughout the month.

Re: Fishing

Rivers above the Fall Line west of Richmond into the Appalachians. Smallmouth Bass, red eyed rock bass, crappie, brook, brown and rainbow trout. Every other weekend within a 50 mile radius, twice a year further up into the mountains where we set up camp. Fly rods and utra-lite spin casters. Nothing better than fresh pan fried trout with morels and ramps on the side.

Any size to the blue crabs down where you're at? We go crabbing down in Gloucester and Mathews but are catching less than in years past. Ever go clam digging?

I have not gone clam digging yet...we've meant to, but never found someone doing it to learn from. We started crabbing a couple years ago, when we lived in Chesapeake. The kids when up to an elderly couple sitting by the channel and asked them what they were doing, and we got a tutorial on crabbing from them, and we've been hooked ever since---its a heck of a lot cheaper, more fun, and tastier to trade a pack of drumsticks for some fresh steamed crabs! I also pick up oysters at the farmer's market...I'd like to grow my own, but we don't have any waterfront or dock space (maybe I should start and oyster-growing co-op). We find decent crabs down in the Great Bridge area...though I haven't been this year yet....we like to go in the fall and we only take the boys.
