Plan Your Complete North Carolina Fishing Trip

Included are all of the things you need to know to plan a complete fishing trip, even with entire family along. The chapter for each site includes extra information, such as camping facilities, hiking trails, playgrounds, boat rentals, boating restrictions, wade fishing, bank fishing, pier fishing, fish species, detailed lake statistics such as depth, acreage, shoreline length, shoreline and bottom characteristics, water quality and clarity and any special regulations.

How and Where to Catch Speckled Trout, Redfish and Other Fresh and Saltwater Species

A separate section tells you how to catch and where to catch more than 50 freshwater and saltwater species!

What about the best place to catch an 18-inch brown trout? Where are the best lakes for striped bass fishing? What are the two best mountain hotspots for walleye? Where can you catch 60-pound flathead and blue catfish, or eating sized channel cats? What about walleye? One mountain lake has lots of 3-pound fish, while another has fewer walleye, but they weigh 6 to 8 pounds! How about places in the coastal rivers to catch 40-pound stripers or coolers full of jumbo white perch? What about places for catching white and black crappie and gorgeous sunfish like the pumpkinseed, redbreast, bluegill, flier, warmouth, green and "stumpknocker." Did you know that one piedmont lake is overrun with chain pickerel, a species typically more abundant at the coast? How about the best beaches for surf fishing and other coastal waters that are tops for catching red drum, flounder and speckled trout and other top game fish? Want to know where the spots are running? A list of every fishing pier, including telephone numbers, lengths, and special characteristics such as live bait tanks, is included in the Ocean Fishing Pier chapter.

Locate Boat Ramps and Access Areas in North Carolina

Fishing North Carolina also shows the locations of the boat ramps and access areas nearest the best fishing. Every site is referenced to DeLorme's Atlas and Gazetteer by grid to help you find it, even if you don't have a GPS! Fishing North Carolina has 60 maps and 20 photographs, plus more 315 pages of text in addition to the most extensive appendix of fishing resources ever compiled.

You can learn everything you need to know before heading to Randleman Regional Reservoir, the state's newest 3,007-acre lake that is absolutely ON FIRE for bass and crappie fishing. Or you can find solitude in places you never even knew existed like Lake Lucas and Bennett's Millpond. You will be surprised to learn where the best places are to catch bass weighing more than 10 pounds. They are NOT the big lakes that receive high fishing pressure, but the smaller city lakes and municipal reservoirs.
