Looking for some more places to fish around hendersonville area, my wife and 6yr old are usually with me so something easy is the best. We usually fish at lake lure but this year we haven't had much luck, we've also tried lake powhatan ( at least 10 times with no fish) lake julian, the pond past the soccer fields in Asheville. I like catching bass but the two of them just want to catch fish no matter what kind. Any ideas of places close by we can try?

Use the search function. Loads of information here for the taking....you'll likely get some other input as well.

That's how I found 2 of the ones we've tried, I've looked on the forum for almost a year before joining.

My Dad was from there, we used to fish a river, I think it was called the Little Hungry River, for trout.

I used to catch some decent LMB and Bream from Lake Tomahawk in Black Mountain, but I haven't been in years.

My son isn't ready for river fishing, I'd end up chasing him more than fishing.

Boat or bank fishing?

Darrell

Sadly no boat, so only bank fishing

You might also see if the small lake/pond at Blue Ridge Community College is open for fishing

Don't know about now but I saw some jumbo bluegill in there a few years ago

I would also try Fawn Lake at the DuPont State Forest.

Lake Tomahawk still has some decent bass and gets stocked with channel catfish now by the state.

There are also plenty of black crappie but the town enforces a 4 fish limit on bass/crappie.

Is it natural bait at tomahawk? We fished at lake julia at dupont last year and caught some huge blue gill

Natural bait only actually.

Some nice channel and bullhead catfish can be had on nightcrawlers.

Laughter Pond in Polk County is also stocked with catfish and may be closer to you.

May have to try both of those this weekend, I don't know who to ask at brcc about fishing

What bait for catfish at laughter pond?

My standbys for channel catfish are raw chicken livers and nightcrawlers.

I like to put chicken livers on a treble hook and nightcrawlers on a circle hook.

 

[Jbrevard]

Thanks, my son is excited for catfish

Just make sure to clean your hands after handling chicken livers.

Good luck.

Fished laughter pond this weekend my son caught 4 catfish, my wife caught 4 catfish and 2 bluegill and I caught 2 bluegill and 2 turtles. It was a pain trying to keep the turtles from eating the bait, as soon as you'd cast they'd be chasing it
