Have you ever tried yadkin river?

[@Frostin_Austin]

It's sad that people have moved the spotted bass into all these lakes. 15-20 years from now, the smallmouth population will be completely gone and all that will be there is trespassing Alabama bass. Moving spotted bass destroys fisheries and people continue to do it. Very sad

[@Frostin_Austin]

Agreed!

I fished Lake Toxaway last year and caught some largemouth bass, going back in July and hopefully find some smallmouth bass.

[@Frostin_Austin]

Dude they’ve disappeared in there!

Lake lure is blocked and only lets people with a pass on.

[@colt110987]

You have to own property in the Town of Lake Lure to put a boat on the lake.

[@brentbloom79]

What do you think about a lake that is just pure mean mouth strain? I think that would be insane as far as the fight.

[@Frostin_Austin]

It’d be cool I guess but that would never happen because the pure prevalence of spotted bass

[@kravenfoxbodies2479]

It's sad me being in NC for 57 years, and High Rock is as far west as I go.

[@Frostin_Austin]

Dude, that’s honestly sad! So many great fisheries in the mountains!

[@colt110987]

Lake Lure is really sneaky 🔥
Last year I caught a 5lb 11oz smallmouth on a weightless skinny dipper. Same year I caught a 7lb largemouth “Male” off a bed and could never get the female to bite which was easily 10 😅
All you need is a clean 3 Million for a house on the water and you can fish it😂
Or just know someone, these were caught off docks.

[@Frostin_Austin]

Hahaha that’s sick! And for real!
