Anglers seeking relief from the last hot days of summer — and looking for a decent freshwater fish bite since most largemouth angling in Piedmont will be slow — couldn’t find a better spot than Lake James, a Catawba River system lake near Asheville. […]
September is a month of change on Marion and Moultrie, the Santee Cooper lakes. To be consistently successful, fishing techniques must change to cope with the transition from summer to fall patterns as the month progresses. […]
