INCREDIBLE 4 Hour Catfish and White Perc
Nov 2, 2025 Clover
We had an awesome afternoon of fishing on Lake Wylie with over 200 lbs of Catfish boated & released, along with 100 white perch in 4 hours. We had 15 Catfish with the smallest one being over 10 lbs, with several in the 20-25 lb range. After catching a ton of Catfish, we set up on a HUGE school of white perch and caught em 3-5X for a solid hour to finish up the trip. It was one of those days when the fish were biting and life was good on Lake Wylie.
