Summertime means hot smallmouth action in WNC

The month of August is hot, even in the mountains of western North Carolina. The smallmouth fishing is just as hot on the French Broad, the Toe, and the Catawba rivers, according to Matt Evans of the Catawba Angler in Asheville, NC.

It’s time for the running of the bulls

August in the Carolinas can be pretty hot. The weather is hot, the water is hot, and if you’re looking to catch a big adult redfish, the fishing can also be hot. Once a redfish exceeds the slot limit, these fish tend to take on a different pattern than when they were just pups. For one, bull redfish, known in some circles as old drum, spread out more. That’s not to say that adult drum don’t still school by size and class, but it’s a looser association, at least until the fish move out of the inshore and nearshore waters for the winter.
