    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.

    Don,
    
    AAA recommends 3:
    
    Fields (919) 292-1381
    
    Hagan-Stone Park (919) 674-0472
    
    KOA Greensboro (919) 274-4143
    
    Fields is next to a theme park.  KOA is KOA.  Hagan Stone has rental
    boats and a playground.  I'd give 'em a call.

26.3Lake Norman, Lake WylieAUNTB::HYMESI'd rather be fishingWed Jun 03 1992 13:4329
    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.
