We’ve made it to May, and the spring weather has settled in and been pretty nice for a while. The temperatures have been warm most of the time since March, but sometimes the wind has blown hard enough that fishing really hasn’t been an option. […]
April is probably my favorite month to fish in the Carolinas, because there’s so much going on. The crappie are still biting, the bluegills are biting, the stripers will still be active, and you can catch bass most any way you want. […]
