As soon as it gets dark on the weekends especially at lillys bridge, all the local shoreline fishers will be out. Its best when it gets warmer but you get a few catfish so be careful with your lighter line.
Fished lake Tillery yesterday morning, cold and windy! Caught a few keepers, but mostly went looking for new places to fish. We found a nice cove that had deep water and a real sharp point close to it. Started fishing the point till it hit 14- 16' and BAM! Most of the fish were female, real big bellies, some of the males tails were broken up so i know they have been fanning beds. Water in the shallows was 62, the water over where we fished was 53-55. Beleive it or not Black and chartreuse tip with minnows caught the most, in clear water. Did catch alot of green carp, and a few chips, but over all was a nice trip. Found out one thing, the crappie fisherman are on the move. Started out with 2 boats in one cove, in 2 hours there were 15!
I still have a lot of water to cover before i know this lake real well, but i know from here it can only get better. One question, when is the best time to start night fishing with lights? found a spot that would probably be real good if you could sit there long enough without someone going by you @70mph.

Where is Lake Tillery located?

Borders Montgomery and Stanly county. Its the lake below Badin and above the PeeDee river and Blewett falls.
Nearest town would be Albemarle, on the north end.
Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
I just got back in town
Thank you response on the location of lake tillery.
