Lake Blue Ridge sounds amazing! I’ve never fished there, but it’s definitely on my list now. Nightcrawlers are a solid choice for bass – I’ve had good luck with them too. Another bait you might want to try is the Zoom Trick Worm. It’s worked wonders for me, especially in slightly murky waters.
Do you have any other favorite spots for fishing? I’m always on the lookout for new places to check out.
