Sandhills Bass Anglers, North Carolina

Hi all. I'm new to the area, stationed at FT Bragg with the Army, and thought I would say hi. Looking forward to meeting and getting to know you!

Jeff

Welcome jeff. Where are you coming from and what is your favorite style of fishing.

I would love to come out Saturday but I doubt I can make it. Have a feeling I will be working in preparation for a month long field exercise. 
But if something changes I will reach out.

Im coming here from Augusta, GA. Fished the last several years on Clarks Hill Lake. Huge lake with some really nice fish. IF you can find them. It is a herring lake and I honestly never figured it out. Mainly because I like to fish shallow. My favorite way to fish is top water. Absolutely love the explosion!

I have been up to Harris 3 times since Ive been here and each time is worse for me. 
Seems like the fish kill has kind of taken over at the moment. Last time out I didn't get a bite. I did fish primarily in the grass and the lay downs though. Should have found a creek or drop off in deep water.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I fished the Military Bass Tournament on Clarks Hill in 2011, and you ain't lying about it being a big lake and hard to figure out, but once you find them hold on tight.  Those spotted bass may not be as big as some of the largemouth on Harris, but fun as hell to catch, especially like you said on a top water bait like a Zara Spook.  If anyone else here ever gets the chance to fish it, make sure you go in the spring, and upgrade your hooks before going, and carry extra hooks and split ring pliers, because it doesn't matter what kind of hooks you have on, if you can find those spots schooling and you start catching, those hooks will need to be changed by the end of the day.

We are fishing lake wheeler this Saturday in Raleigh , you are more then welcome to come out and meet everyone and get to know the lake a little better
