I love this time of year Kerr Lake is a spot I frequently visit. Boating, skiing, fishing, hiking, camping, and just laying around relaxing are a few things you can do.
My favorite is fishing for catfish on jugs or drift fishing using shad for bait.
I almost lost my poll a couple of times from them hard-hitting blues.
If you get a chance to wet a hook I recommend Short Mountain Cove for your next adventure.
