I have to admit. It’s been years since I knowingly ate anything that came out of the river, or Lake Wylie as many refer to it. Still, I wouldn’t have given a second thought to doing so until recently.
Dear Matt,
We have a pontoon boat that sits in the water all winter. What do we need to do to winterize it, keeping in mind that we go out on the water once a month in the colder months?Christmastime means trying to find the perfect gift for the boater in your life. Instead of walking the aisles of your favorite marine retailer or flipping through countless catalogs, I have a few suggestions.
It’s not only warm weather that can extend the boating season. Custom Canvas packages are another option more boaters are using for a 12-month boating season.
Each summer, many of our local fly-fishermen make at least one trip up into the mountains to trout fish, and escape from the heat and humidity that smothers our area.
Every once in a while, something happens that restores my faith in the future of our hunting heritage. Such an occasion took place just last week, when an unbelievable number of local hunters turned out for a public meeting regarding the potential re-opening of waterfowl hunting to Lake Wylie.
When it’s all said and done, how good of an angler are you? What are your goals and what do you hope to find at the end of the rainbow?
What separates a professional tournament angler from the local weekend tournament angler?
Ever heard someone use the expression that you should never “get above your raisin’?” In a sense, getting above its raising is exactly what happened to a large part of our area. I’m specifically speaking about our largest local body of water, Lake Wylie.
Last week, Davy Hite provided insight on how he goes about fishing summer’s “dog days” and the tactics he uses to stay on top of the tournament boards during the heat. I tossed the same questions out to another outdoors legend to get his take.
