Question 1

What do you need to know about Lake Waccamaw?

Accepted Answer

Compared to other reservoirs in the State of North Carolina, Lake Waccamaw has an unusual, almost Florida-like, round shape. The Lake is large at nearly 9,000 surface acres, but it’s relatively shallow with max depth of 11-12 feet. Fish species include largemouth bass, striped bass, perch, catfish, crappie, and a wide variety of panfish. Waccamaw is knows for its excellent perch fishing but can produce fat largemouth bass. Bass anglers focus on running crankbaits along weed edges and flipping docks during the cooler months with jig and a pig and shakey head combinations. If topwater baits aren’t working, wacky rigged worms and other finesse techniques can do the trick. It’s not uncommon for a 20-lb bag to be needed to win a 5-fish tournament on Waccamaw while the occasional 6 pounder is possible and fish over 10 pounds have been caught.
