Question 1

What do you need to know about Goose Creek Reservoir?

Accepted Answer

Goose Creek Reservoir is a 950-acre lake in Berkley County. Species present include largemouth bass, catfish, large crappies, and bream panfish like bluegills. The most popular time to fish Goose Creek is September and October when the air temperature begins to cool down and fish get ready to put on the feed bags. Fishing transient baitfish is key to fishing Goose Creek with success. Guide Chris Orvin reports in the North Carolina Sportsmen that "The key is to match the bait you use to the time of day you fish. My preference is early and late when I can use topwater lures most effectively, but bass are caught all-day long by fishing worms and Rat-L-Traps on offshore humps and stumpy flats and using frog lures in very heavy cover and around the pads." He added " The better lures for big bass are very large plastic worms, spinnerbaits, Rat-L-Traps or similar lures, shad-colored crankbaits and topwater lures."
