We have fished on Shearon Harris lake and many others in North Carolina since 1991. We are fully insured and possess all of the necessary permits required to be a NC guide service. We are accomplished in most types of fishing and have always had the desire to catch as many fish as possible on every trip.
Our main target and the fish that most people want to catch is the Largemouth Bass. We encourage the live release of this species. There are many other species of fish which are more desirable tablefare. Shearon Harris is a trophy bass fishery and catching the fish of a lifetime is possible everytime you make a cast.
We do not use artificial lures. Live bait fishing provides the best opportunity to catch a lot of fish every time out and is an art in and of itself. In order to catch large numbers of fish, you have to know their patterns and movements, find them on any given day, and fish for the ones that are hungry.
The challenges are similar to that of fishing with lures except that once the fish are located, the number of fish caught is almost always far higher with live bait. Most of the time we use live Threadfin Shad and have a 50 gallon Grayline bait tank on board at all times.
We are stewards of the environment and work hard on every trip to ensure a high survival rate of the bass and any other fish caught that is going to be released. We use circle hooks (and other less lethal hooks) and try to cause minimum stress to fish that are going to be released.
We have been very successful in returning almost every bass back to the water in good health to be caught again another day. We do not show the same commitment to the health and welfare of the shad however. We try our best on every trip to make sure every last one winds up inside the mouth of a bass on the end of your line!
