Summer fish kills are as perplexing as they are disturbing to witness. A typical reservoir may have uniform temperatures throughout the lake, from top to bottom, for only a short time in the spring and again in the fall. […]
When asked my favorite month to fish, it is a close call between May or January, but I think May gets the nod because of good weather and aggressive bass. […]
The spring run of striped bass that makes its way up river from the Santee-Cooper lakes into the Congaree River offers a chance at some prime “city limits fishing” in Columbia that would make even Mike Iaconelli envious. […]
Another aspect of Paul Davis’ version of “City Limits Fishing” that would definitely be “Ike-approved” is his choice of rods. […]

It was a big fish and a nice catch for Surry County angler Terry Trivette. It was not, however, the new spotted bass state record. […]
With late spring-like weather spreading over the state a month earlier than usual during March, higher-than-normal water temperatures apparently triggered striped bass false migration runs in many piedmont rivers.
The migration attempts are false because stripers have only two rivers (Dan and Roanoke) inside North Carolina long enough to successfully hatch fertilized eggs — yet rockfish are hard-wired to make whoopee anyway each spring no matter where they are. […]
The full moon coupled with unseasonably warm weather has three different patterns currently working on bass in Lakes Wateree and Murray. […]
Although many Tar Heel anglers believe the Roanoke River is the state’s top spring spot for catching striped bass, the best venue actually may be up and down the Pamlico River on either side of Little Washington — but particularly to the east toward Albemarle Sound. […]
In April across South Carolina, a lot of bass have just spawned, there are still a few fish spawning, and you can even catch a few prespawn bass. […]
