Austin you look very familiar I'm in Asheville North Carolina as well! Thank you for your knowledge
Yo I'm like 30 miles away in Brevard
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!
Lake Julian is nice to but it’s definitely tricky water is so clear you can see 30 plus feet down
Great video and info
Can you list the lakes?! I am on Norman but hate it. Would rather wake up at 4a and drive a good 2 hours for some fishing
He named them. Just stop at james and have fun
@@Hatedepot I love lake Norman. Always done very well but it was about 10 years ago had great luck on the boat not so great on the bank other than the Marshall steam station. First fish I caught out of lake Norman was actually a gar
Thanks for the video I’m going to college at western so this will help out when I get there
I'm surprised James is so high on this list. I've only been twice but seemed tough for me. You make it look easy with panoptics, seems like shallow water guys like me struggle there
We are shallow water guys by nature, the largemouth population there is really strong!
Nice review video. Thanks
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.
Big swimbaits and frogs shallow!
as a western nc resident i will say my pb was from apalachia. hiwassee is good for numbers, but mostly dinks... or maybe i just dont know how to get the big ones there 😅
Just wondering, have you ever tried fishing in lake Louise in Weaverville?
Need to keep junaluska hush hush lol next state record is coming out of that lake.
Literally everyone knows about it and I'm sure your comment helped lol!
Definitely giants in lake j
That lake is not a secret hahaha. There is a secret lake that a lot of people know about but don't know how to access it..
@@benjaminjackson9634 haha tell me you aren’t talking about the waynesville watershed.
@@kalebdeese3192 no I'm talking about the one along 40 near fines creek.
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
All of our lakes are stocked with trout have have big ones in them! You can call 828-354-0250 and one of our employees will assist you with current stock, ordering and shipping 👍🏼
I really think Lake James could produce a record smallmouth . There are some biggies in there.
There some big ones in there for sure! There’s a few lakes in WNC that I think might have one!
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.
New sub! Liked 😀🙏😄
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
Now I’m going to fish for them twice as much!
Are the largemouth in these lakes northern or fl strain or f1?
A mix of all the above, depends on lake
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.
All the lakes are poorly managed!
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.
I kinda want to take my hobie kayak down that way i live about an hour away. Any techniques i should try for a first time fishing it?
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.
I'm sorry I missed your question. Lake Lure small straight tail worms, light line.
Leaving out lake x huh? Lol
I wish you would stop talking about these places
COME ON, SOMEONE TRY CADY LAKE IN CHARLOTTE NC< THERE ARE 20 and 30 POUNDERS THAT I HAVE CAUGHT THERE ARE PROBBALY BIGGER ONES
Not bass.
Let's just tell the world what us true locals have found over the years. Go back north dude.
You seem pretty jealous of Austin’s success!!! He’s done nothing but help people and advocate conservation for our MEDIOCRE (at best) lakes! Leave the dude alone!
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
Your right Austin I am a tool, for Jesus! Maybe you should post another video bragging on how to knock someone's teeth out the Christian way. Outpost for me sweetheart!
@@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."
We encourage you to keep supporting a local business!
