Any of y'all into fishing and or hunting? Getting the boat ready for some bass fishing tomorrow at Harris, been a couple of months since I last went. Got me thinking how many on here like doing these kinda things.

Been fishing at Harris all year. Water temps in low 50s right now with a decent stain. A few males shallow and fish starting to slowly move. Caught a couple 8#s Friday on 6xd between 16-20 FOW. Been a decent jig bite the last several weeks-- not good numbers but good size. Water has rapidly moved from mid 40's to the low 50s in just the last week. In mid January after the big cold snap where it didn't break freezing for like a week, the creeks were iced over and I saw water temps in upper 30's for the first time I can ever remember

Also they are redoing the Hollomans ramp so it's not open and the Crosspoint ramp has been a zoo

Didn't fair so well. Thinking of Falls Saturday, try something different.

They shallow on Jordan? They just started rushing the bank this afternoon in Harris

It was won in 2' of water and I'm sure they will be this weekend. I caught mine on 5'-7' staging. Same depth at falls as well.

It's crazy at times how different Harris can fish from those 2 lakes . I caught them pretty well on Harris today, including an 8 and a 6, but they just aren't staging hard yet. Can catch one here and there on a chatterbait or senko shallow but not consistent yet. My 2 big fish today came on deep diving jerkbaits around breaks adjacent to spawning flats. However that bite is just as inconsistent as the shallow bite. Water temps in the low to mid 60's in several places but they just aren't as eager to rush the bank as in years past--- likely has a lot to do with the really low water levels and the fact that they sprayed and killed everything growing in 10 foot or less. The several deep spots I'd been catching them off all winter have basically shut off....fish still there and more showing up every day but they refuse to bite. I'll be shocked if that tournament this Saturday is won deep. Unless something changes dramatically in the next 36 hours or so, there isn't even a single fish on the spot those two 40+lb bags were caught on last spring

Yeah, we left before the weight in. Slow day for us, kinda hard to figure out right now.

Kicked off trout season this past weekend. Caught a whole mess of Brooks and rainbows in the Tuckaseegee (Jackson County side).

Back home now and the Mrs and I will be pounding Lake McIntosh on the banks here soon

I'm heading up to Weldon on Friday to fish the striper run on the Roanoke. Anyone else fished there this week?

I've never done that before. Let me know how it turns out?

I've been doing it the third weekend in April for years and usually always get a group of 8 of us, split into two boats. If the fish are there, you'll catch 20-25 apiece easily. If they are slow coming up river, then you might catch 10-15, thus why I was asking if anyone knew if the big schools of fish had made it that far up river yet. I'll give you a report once I get back but I've never been disappointed, even in "bad years".

Awesome! Thank you very much!

Other than being a little windy it was a good day on the river. We divided 10 of us into two different boats and caught 110 fish between the two of vessels. The fish were smaller than normal but we got our keepers (mostly between 18 and 20 inches) and one slot sized fish at 23 inches. If you want to go up there the next month will be the peak. We used live and cut bait on a leader off of the bottom fyi. Good luck to you!

Last two weekends I haven't done so hot at Falls. Caught a few today, but couldn't put together a pattern. How has everyone else been fairing?

Won the Collins Bass For Cash on the Chowan river 2 weeks ago with 5 for 24.88 and big fish of 7.69. Last Thursday a storm came through our place at Kerr lake and brought a 100 y/o oak down on the boat shelter. Total loss of the pontoon,ski boat and 1 golf cart!

Appreciate that! Tree was removed Monday and Tuesday. Boat shelter on Wednesday. The pontoons were mashed flat and the top cap on ski boat was separated from the hull. Both trailers were on the ground with tires blown out. Now waiting for insurance company do their deal. While I wait I will be spending a lot of time pre- fishing on on the Roanoke.
