“We had a blast and I am so happy that Nick not only caught a trout on his fly rod but that he caught the biggest trout. He said he learned so much from you yesterday as I also did. A great experience. Thanks again and we will be repeat customers, maybe even a float…

Redbreast Sunfish Fishing in Charlotte
If you're looking for some exciting panfishing near Charlotte, North Carolina, don't overlook the Redbreast Sunfish. These feisty fighters are abundant in the Catawba River and its tributaries, as well as smaller creeks and ponds throughout the area. Spring and early summer, particularly during their spawning season, are prime times to target them. Look for shallow, rocky areas with slow currents. A light-action rod with 4-6 pound test line is ideal. Small spinners, jigs tipped with worms, or live crickets under a bobber work wonders. For easy access, try fishing from the banks of the Catawba River at public access points like those near the Mountain Island Lake dam. Remember that redbreast sunfish are often found in areas with heavy cover, so be prepared to lose some tackle. The redbreast sunfish in the Catawba are known for their beautiful coloration, making for great photos in addition to the fun of the catch.
