The beginning of August also marks the beginning of a promising fishing season for the largemouth bass, a fish native to North Carolina. For those of you who live near the Coastal Plains, try fishing in blackwater rivers. For enthusiasts who live closer to the Piedmont or mountainous areas, you will have the most luck with ponds and reservoirs. Largemouth bass like to live near bodies of water that are busy with submerged objects and plants such as boat docks, bridge pilings, old roadbeds, and underwater vegetation.

Should you come across an impressive catch, be sure to take a picture to capture its vibrant colors and bring it to Tim Knight’s Taxidermy! We can craft a lifelike mount that will preserve the natural beauty of the harvests you reel onto the shore.
