Fishing North Carolina in July
North Carolina has many possibilities to consider when choosing a place to go fishing in July. Reflecting on this I consider the first time I remember going fishing. It reminds me that fishing can be as simple or complicated as we make it. There are many small ponds, streams, or creeks in North Carolina that offer a variety of fish to catch including bream, catfish, bass, crappie, trout, perch, and walleye. We can catch these fish in these waters from the shoreline using a cane pole with a string and hook tied to the end of it. Crickets, worms, grubs, or caterpillars are easy baits to find and capture to bait these hooks. This simple way of fishing is often the first fishing memory for many of us. Jul 1st, 2013

Harbors often consist of a mud or sand bottoms and are usually fed by rivers or estuaries that attract many different species of fish, such as alewives, mackerel, squid, flounder, and striped bass. But boats and fish aren’t the only thing attracted to harbors: anglers are equally attracted because of the fish-catching potential. Harbors are virtual gold mines when it comes to fishing.Jul 1st, 2013Spearing Basics
