I decided to try my luck at some river fishing in the Upper reaches of Mountain Island Lake on the Catawba River system. In any man-made river system, running water is the key to turning on the bite. Unfortunately on this trip, there was no current to be found…

how much vegetation weeds in that area? or is it the typical clay barren bottom?
Loved this! Sorry I’m late checking it out. Just getting over the virus and getting back to normal. Hopefully I get to get back out soon! Excellent job as always👊
Hope you are haveing a well nice weekend cracking job as allways 👍 👍 keep up the good work u legend brother tezzza
Awesome video as usual Josh – keep hammering! Fall bite will turn on very soon! <><
It’s definitely a good spot when the water is on. Just a lot of small spots but still a fun place. Atleast you caught fish lol. Great video Josh!
Fun stuff . I need to try that spot
It's such a gamble on the water schedule but there is an app that shows flow schedules
That is where I uses to live! Where Charlotte gets a lot of its drinking water! Yay!
We could possibly be the only two people in the world that have listened to Maxwell Murders while fishing 😂
Three fish would better than my morning. The lake was mud and the fish didn't want anything I threw at them.
Man what a tough day for fishing. But at least you didn't skunk out. They would have to wait until you're done fishing to open the dam. It's definitely been a tough year for fishing I can say that. Hopefully next weekend will be better. Take it easy buddy I'll see you next weekend.
Good show looked like is was fun keep it up FISH ON
