I've been there before (years ago) and I know it's expensive but I've heard that there are some true monster crappie there and that they don't start spawning until mid-may. Just wondering if anybody knew anything about it.

I have never fished there, but I have fished at Lake Adger with out success on crappies. It is near Lake Lure. I did catch some sunfish and bass. I'd guess that the guys from up that way may know more about presentations that may produce fish.
a co-worker fishes adger frequently.... 2 weekends ago he said they loaded up on crappie.....said they used red/white jigsQuote:

I am originally from Forest City, NC so I have fished the river systems feeding Lake Lure and the one below the damn. white bass fishing on the river feeding Lake Lure was awesome as teenager. I have caught some nice crappie in the river below the damn. I have seen some absolute monster crappie in that river also. Have never fished the lake itself
I know it's a privately owned or maintained lake. Several years ago I wanted to put my boat in and found out there was a daily fee. That was about ten years go and If I remember correctly it was about 65 bucks a day give or take. Here is a link to the fee schedule if you can make heads or tails of it! Check out the 2nd page to see what they get a day for renting a pontoon boat I am in the wrong business! Also when it states residents It doesn't mean NC residents but locals at least I think so.

If you don't mind paddling, I guess you could get a kayak and a $23 permit (Ha-Ha). I ain't paddling unless I have to.Quote:

I guess if you rich you can truly control the world around you. Unfortunately I'm not so I will just keep on fishing public waters. It is ridiculous to ask pricesQuote:

It is set up to keep the riffraff out of view. Nothing spoils the neighborhood like a bunch of brogans and ball caps.Quote:

Now that's funny........I don't care who you are.RoflQuote:

My wife's cousin fishes Lake Lure regularly. Deep trolling for Walleye with (according to him) a fair amount of access. I have fished the adjacent Bald Mountain lake with a kayak and caught plenty of bream and bass. No fee but you had to be an owner/guest to have access. Haven't been there in a couple of years though.
Thats why i have trolling motor so don't have to paddle......Quote:

Hey there Papadave, put me on the top of your fishing buddy list:cool:. I'd like to experience some of that chump change!Thumbs Up
I don't mind putting you down as a fishing buddy, but you'll have to be able to deal with a bit of sarcasm, in fact I have somewhat more sarcasm than chump change!;)Quote:
