Tip..You can catch fish around the docks around the Marina..Great lake...When Jordan gets muddy, I would go to Sharon Harris...

Thanks for the tip! Happy New Year!

You need to go find the armada this time of year and fish like they are fishing which is very deep, below 20 feet.

That’s a good suggestion. It was pretty sparse on the lake that day and at times we were the only one in sight. We’ve used that technique a few times in the warmer parts of the year.

That's funny --- in Oklahoma, we pronounce it "Croppie!" But we usually wait till we can wear t-shirts and ball caps to catch them. BRRRRR!

[@adventuresinthesouth]

The late fall/early winter is the best time to catch them here in North Carolina. This was some of the coldest water I've fished in as long as I can remember.

Are there Alligators in the swampy areas around the lake? I know they sure are around Hilton Head Island, where I lived. We even had to dodge them while we were golfing!

Not this far inland. This lake is near Raleigh, NC and it gets very hilly around this part of the state.
