| I'll be heading down to Greensboro and Charlotte NC the last week or so
of August.
We're going to drive down. We won't be towing the boat, but I may
bring the canoe along.
We'll probably be camping around Greensboro and staying with friends
around Charlotte.
If we have any noters from the area, I'd enjoy getting together for
few casts.
Additionally, if anyone can suggest and nice campgrounds around
Greensboro, I'm all ears.

| Am an occasional Lake Wylie and Lake Norman bass angler. Both
of these lakes are in the Charlotte area (close to the SC border).
Lake Norman is commonly called the Dead Sea because it is a large
lake with a history of producing few fish. The B.A.S.S. trail
recently had a tourney on Lake Norman. Most common feedback was
lots of small fish, few big fish. Personnaly, I like Lake Norman
so it's okay with me if everyone else chooses to fish elsewhere.
Beat the piers with artificial worms. Many are loaded with sunken
brushpiles. I prefer red shad Mannipulators and Auger tails.
Floating worms are also decent at certain times, as well as
spinnerbaits and crankbaits. This is a large, relatively clear lake,
with a deep (>100') main channel.
Lake Wylie is at the NC/SC border. There is NO recipricol agreement
so you must be careful where you fish if you only have one license.
Has a good reputation as a bass fishing lake. Worms, spinnerbaits,
and crankbait seem to work equally as well. Lake Wylie is on the
same river chain as Lake Norman (Catawba River), but reminds me
more of a river than a lake. It doesn't get very wide or deep.
I catch more bass at Lake Norman, however I catch bigger bass on
Lake Wylie.
One man's opinion. If you're gonna be in the area, let me know -
I can give you more details.
