I'm pretty good about updating things as you have read Steve. If you're getting up to Northeast N.C. next year try to get there by the end of September....Great fishing begins around Good Friday and goes through Labor Day and good fishing continues until Halloween most years depending on those early season cold fronts....If you can travel around the Full Moon during the Summer the fishing is PEAK.....Lots of great blackwater with COPPERNOSE GILLS being the top shelf fish........

All of your pictures that you have shown Jeffery, looks like you really found a little piece of heaven there in Northeast NC. Would like like to visit that area, maybe late next year. Time off is going to be a problem for me right now. The Democratic National Convention is coming to Charlotte late next summer, so it is "all hands on deck" right now. Show us more pictures of all your fishing adventures, wherever you go.

It would be hard to justify leaving my Northeast N.C. honey holes Steve, but with family in the Low Country and traveling with work from time to time, I can't pass up the opportunity to hit these waters....Lots of good gillin' in these areas...

Moultrie (and Marion around Sparkleberry) have alway been one of my favorite places to fish. Miss going down there. Was hoping to go this past summer, but as always work gets in the way. Maybe soon.........

Isn't it though! I look back on times when I fished the islands you see as trees in this shot. Water level is always a sensitive issue in America's reservoirs but most have been formed for power generation first and that coupled with drought drastically changes some of these lakes.........Pretty cool shot..............

That is wild!

This shot with low water shows how many trees were flooded when Lake Moultrie was formed. Add three to four feet of water to this area for normal lake level.....Be tricky to navigate in dark water in this area..........Bluegill pack in these flats to bed in the Spring and Summer.....
