New guy in NC

BrandonK · April 20, 2018, 03:59:14 PM

Hi, I'm Brandon. I like long walks on the beach, with a fishing rod in hand. I'm in the Raleigh area of NC and am regularly skunked at Shearon Harris, Falls lake, and Lake Wheeler. I fish out of a Lowrance equipped Wilderness Systems Commander 120. Lately I've been switching it up and finding more unpressured waters with great success, including a 6-5 last weekend at one public pond, and a 7+ today at another pond (scale apparently has dead batteries but 23.5"). I look forward to contributing my very limited knowledge and smartass remarks. Thanks

Here's the catch of the day, which was caught in a pond on the way home from being skunked on the Cape Fear river.

Well then as long as the bills get paid and your sufficient other (if you have one) don't want to break your poles cause you fish to much go fishing as much as you can.

She just got done telling me that I'm lucky she let me go fishing this morning while she cleaned the house

BrandonK · April 21, 2018, 02:22:40 PM

I have to buy her a kayak soon. She's been on me about it. I got her on her first fish last summer, a 2.5lb LMB
