Yellow Bass
Targeting yellow bass around Charlotte, NC, can be a rewarding experience, particularly if you're after consistent action. While they may not be the biggest fish in the lake, they're plentiful and fun to catch on light tackle. Your best bet is to concentrate on Lake Norman and Mountain Island Lake. These reservoirs offer plenty of habitat that yellow bass favor, including rocky points, submerged timber, and areas near bridges. Spring and fall are prime times, with the fish being most active during dawn and dusk. Try using small crankbaits, in-line spinners, and live minnows. A great access point is the McCrary Creek Access Area on Lake Norman. Be mindful of the boat traffic, especially on weekends. The yellow bass population here is healthy, and you can often find schools of them feeding aggressively. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits.
