    Man, thank you for doing this video. I am an Indiana transplant to NC and miss big Musky fishing. So I'm getting into this big bait bass fishing. I appreciate the honesty! I've got property in Arkansas, and love the steep high rock reservoirs...thanks again!

    So in your opinion, what would be the bast way to target those giant lmb in lake chatuge? I've caught a few largies in chatuge but I can't seem to stay away from the spots.

    I'm a trophy bass hunter, big swimbait angler. I'm in upper east tn, Watauga Lake, Boone,etc are my local lakes, so I'm not far from your area. If I'm targeting big bass what lake or lakes would you put me on. And how can I contact you to talk about what swimbaits your shop carries

    Lake Lure, just need a permit and you're good to go. Annual pass or day. I doubt there's a hp limit as they get them boats out there with boards hauling ass. I used to live near there and was on that lake all the time.

    Hiawassee Lake isn't meant to be fished off the boat docks. Those are basically pets. Feeding them from the docks are great entertainment for kids, and you can pay for fish food there, so of course you're catching them right there... I'm from Murphy, and rule of thumb is to not do that, as it's a privately owned dock and they are frequesntly fed by people

    Lake Lure is a big secret lake. I've caught 30 large mouth bass over 10lbs. My personal best was 14lbs. The secret is off shore fishing in the winter. Love your videos Austin.

      @naturesht3095 Рік тому

      But don’t they drain the lake during winter time? Or most of it? You think it’s better to fish when’s it’s less water?? I’ve always bank fished at lake lure near the park. What do you recommend to use ? I’ve had better luck using crankbaits. I’ve caught 3 bass over 8 lb using crank baits at lake summit. But I have barley fished at lake lure.

    Don't talk about lake junaluska in this list. They did their stupid ass drain and ditch and killed the entire spawn this year its terrible. Somebody like you should talk to the lake commission about restocking the population that they killed.

      A few things for you:
      1. You posted anonymously, so you're a tool.
      2. Our lakes aren't in the top 20 in the state so get over yourself.
      3. How can I help where I am from (born in SC)? I've also lived here longer than anywhere in my life, so this is home.
      4. Like Tucker mentioned, I care more about these waters than ANYBODY! That's why I fight for them. Maybe a "True Local" should fight like I have!
      5. Book a trip sweetheart XOXO

      @@cadillacpat7828 As a brother to another brother, you shouldn't speak out hate and then be shocked when hate is spoken back, even if it's from another believer, then claim Christ. You say your for one but speak for another and what I mean by that is you say your for Christ but you didnt originally speak for him in your comment. Honestly, I didnt write my comment above, idk who did, I'm guessing a relative of mine who uses my account but what they said is mostly true(what I didnt agree with, I edited and took out) a good reference is James 4:1-12 specifically verses 11 and 12
      All in all, Austin is a great guy and a brother in Christ, hes doing what he loves and is showing that to other people, hes even using it as a ministry, as his brother or sister Wouldnt you want him to thrive in his endeavors?

      @@cadillacpat7828 You came on my channel, insulted me and made an ignorant comment. I can assure you that you're not representing Christ... You're representing your ego and pride. And that video is about Christ's redemption and reconciliation of a friendship through the power of the Gospel... Romans 16 says, "beware of those who cause division in Christian circles." Look yourself in the mirror and reflect on your comments and heart. You came on my channel... I didn't go to you. Your animosity for me is birthed out of your own heart. I don't know you, nor have I ever done ANYTHING personal to you, which means you have festering idolatry and envy in your heart. Christ can cure it man, the Father is faithful to forgive if we confess our sin. You don't know me personally, you don't know my mission. Jesus said, "don't point out the spec of dust in your brothers eye until you get rid of the log in your own."
