Thinking about trying my speckle skills out this weekend but wondering what the conditions on the lake are like currently. Muddy, full of logs, etc. Thinking about launching from Lake Houston Marina...

I've caught fish all around the Buster Boyd bridge, just need to watch out for the crazies in the summer time.

I appreciate the advice, I'll get out there one of these nights sometime in August most likely once work settles down a bit. I learned quite a bit on how to jig while in NC, so hopefully the fish...

I just moved down from NC and the thing to do in summer is nightstalking with underwater lights and all that. Gets you out of the heat and the fishing was generally pretty good. I did very well with...

Good report, never heard of a Sunday law where you cant fish in the morning. Booze maybe, but fishing? Those smallmouth can be great eating too while the water is still cold.

I've actually caught a couple small ones in Lake Wylie which makes me think there's an alright population of them in there. Might be some in the creeks come Feb

Wylie has a good class of fish this year. Surprised your anchors would hold in that wind we had!

Good catching, that's typical Wylie behavior it seems though. Every time I sit out on a dock at night I have jackholes blasting past me not 15' from the end. My favorite is when I stand up and wave...

On lake Wylie last weekend me and a buddy had a blast. Went through 4 dozen minnows and kept 20 over 10". They bit jigs and minnows, but liked the minnows more. Over 25' of water with some brush...

I've always wanted to get up there for some fishing. Heard its a beautiful lake. Nice catch

What he said, there's Lake Wylie Bait and Tackle (aka Hunt Fish Paddle) and there's a gas station not far up up the road in NC along 49 that sells minnows. I would suggest HFP since the U-turn...

If you get a hold of Lake Wylie Bait and Tackle you can park there and eat at Lake Wylie Pizza next door. They're right next to the gas stations there and have good deals on tackle and bait for those...

The Gander Mountain has minnows off of 150, they stay open pretty late

This was in NC, but I just caught these last weekend under my light. It wasnt hot and heavy like April / May will be, but it was steady. Water temp was upper 40s/low 50s over 25 ft of water.

The nightstalk was successful. They werent biting hard, but it was steady action all night with a few keepers to show for it. Glad I tried.

Good to know, I might have to give it a shot this weekend. I dropped some fresh trees down last month and have been itching to see if anything has taken up residence yet.

Hi All, Im wondering what the right temps are to start trying a nightstalk? I'll be fishing Wylie and wanted to give it a shot in the next couple weeks, but dont want to waste my time if they wont be...

You'll be fine. We take our 14' out all the time and have no issues. Its the middle of the summer when the water is warm when you need to worry about it.

Did a mini night stalk to try and catch some dinner for the next day. First minnow down and I reel in a pig @ 14", has to be a good night after success like that! Well only ended up catching dinks...

looking good, tightlining can be a lot of fun. Thanks for all the Wylie reports!

I go out every few weeks, but Im actually fishing off a pier north of the BB. Its nice since I've got 120 volt lights and can spread out pretty nice. Went out last week and we put some nice slabs in...

Nice one, if you have a couple poles try the BGBS or flick tail jigs in the lights. The crappies will tear those up too.

Thanks for the report, we gave it a shot on Saturday and only caught a catfish. Wind was too bad so we went to watch the weigh in for the tourney.

The weatherman hit the nail on the head again on Saturday, predicting rain but getting sun and nice temps. Got out on the lake by 830 and started fishing in 20-30' with the temps around 51, ended the...

Nice hogs, I hope to figure that lake out like you one of these days.

Just watch out on where you launch and fish. NC and SC do not have reciprocal license agreements in place. Ive caught a few lately over brush in 20', but they should be moving up anytime soon.

There's a pile of crappie on those bridge pilings too. Looks like a good day!

Here's the cat, she looks smaller in the pic. But she put up a good fight!

Decided last minute to try for some crappie under the lights. Unfortunately it was too late to buy some minnows so we made due with jigs. There was no shortage of bait, but the crappie were not...

Last time I was up at Lake Norman State Park I saw some people minnow/bobber fishing off the various docks around there. Might give that a shot.
