    How deep were you fishing? I took the kayak to Lure , and wasted time and money for the daily permit. I was thinking of giving Moss a shot , and would likely put in at the landing near the dam.

    I think they may be referring to the substance that gives the baitshop's water the blue and green coloring. I think it's a type of conditioner/disinfectant.

    Late night minnows.

    I am going to be leaving in a few hours on a trip which will take 5 hours to the destination. Does anyone know of any bait stores that remain open past 10 in the Charlotte area? Thanks!!
