Fresh Fishing Reports from Charlotte NC

INCREDIBLE 4 Hour Catfish and White Perc

November 2, 2025

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.

I had the pleasure of taking a boat load of Buffalo Bills Fans in town for the big game versus the Panthers. We had a Great Morning of fishing with a ton of crappie, white perch and Blue Cat fish boated during the trip. At one point we were catching crappie and catfish 2 at a time and white perch 3-5 at a time. Great morning of fishing for multiple species.

We learned that August probably isn't the best month for catching a large quantity of fish, but we were excited with the 6 we caught and the whole experience.

I might have dressed a little warmer. It was the first night in the low 40's or upper 30s (November 12th) and I was a little cold at the beginning.

Be flexible. The bite could shift from catfish to bass to striper. Our captain was ready for whatever, so just be happy with something stretching your line.
