Rock Bass
Rock bass fishing near Charlotte, North Carolina, offers a refreshing change of pace from the pursuit of larger game fish. Head west towards the foothills and the Catawba River system, where clear, rocky streams and rivers provide ideal habitat. Mountain Island Lake and Lake Norman also hold populations of rock bass, particularly around rocky points and submerged structure. Spring and fall are the best times to fish, when the water temperatures are moderate. Small crankbaits, spinners, and live bait such as nightcrawlers or minnows are all effective. A light spinning rod with 4-6 lb test line is ideal for these smaller fish. Public access points are available along the Catawba River and at the lakes, but be sure to check local regulations regarding fishing licenses and access restrictions. Rock bass in this area are known for their aggressive strikes, making for exciting light-tackle action.
