Looking for places to kayak fish in Raleigh/Clayton area

What do you prefer to catch?

There are quite a few places to fish.
Lake Crabtree is best for either catfish or carp
Umstead for bass.

You can also fish Lake Johnson or Beaver Dam lake which is a part of the Falls Lake System.
There is also Jordan and Harris. However, on the larger lakes you have to pay much more attention to wind.

I just got back from a 3 hour trip to Beaver dam. One other yakker out there. I caught one small bass and had a few bumps trolling. About what I expected. Watched a bald eagle for a bit too.

You could try the Eno River. Launch at Red Mill boat launch.

Mostly go for bass and would like to find somewhere for catfish to

[DoctorDoom]

Lake Crabtree park for catfish.
My worst day there was 8 - best day 46.
Most around 1 pound - personal largest there was 6.4 pounds and 5.2 pounds.
Several in the 3-4 lp. range.

Catch and release there - there are poisons in the ecosystem.

Buckhorn res is only 30 mins from Clayton. I've been getting some good fish out there lately....quality over quantity
