Coastal Anglers Report Warm Easter Fishing Rush
Warm Easter weekend brings many to the water as Tar Heel anglers enjoy 80 degree temps. Offshore winds muddy surf while surfcasters and pier fishermen land whiting skates and blowfish, many released. Inland, Dare Chamber reports large largemouth bass, croatan Sound sees striped bass catches, and a Roanoke River spawning area hosts migrating walleye and landlocked bass. Innovative anglers describe buoyant bass schooling and bait tricks as others seek red drum later in the season.

Lakes Clear but Best In Fishing Yet To Come
North and South Carolina coastlines offer vast waters for fishing with High Rock and other Piedmont lakes improving as water clears. Local anglers report strong early bass and crappie sightings, with a notable 5% and 3% pound bass caught at High Rock. Ducks Unlimited funds expanding Canadian breeding grounds. Fishermen advised to keep tackle boxes clean to avoid odor repelling fish.
