Thursday, 10-9-25
Today we were on High Rock lake searching for crappies for our fishermen to include them as the guest of honor in their fish frys. We were fishing with Darrel Clodfelter,Jr from Lexington, NC Tonya and Richard Tysinger also from Lexington, NC and Ray Henderson from Colfax,NC.
The winds today were blowing pretty good from the NE and I figured it being attached to a front on the full moon was going to make it a challenging day for crappies. We hit some of our places with deeper water in the 18 to 20 feet depths and the crappies and a few bream were pretty abundant and it was a slow pick at the best.
After a few of these producing the same slow bite I decided to move to a different pattern and concentrate on drop offs. I’ve always liked to fish drops and have a lot of confidence with this pattern this time of year.
It was one of those trips today that keeps me doing what we do. Great people, great fun, exceptional comraderrey, and on top of all that great fishing. When everything was over this evening the guys and gals had put 75 very nice crappies in the cooler despite all the ones we missed and just got off the hook, and lots of them were slabs.
Going to try again tomorrow, hope they stay on the dropoffs. If they don’t, we’ll just have to search them out again wherever they are. If you get the chance to go crappie fishing, it’s one of the best times of the year to go. If you have the time and would like to follow us so you want miss any of our reports,just go to the top of our fb yeah Right Charters page and hit the “followers” on the left under the title heading, it would be greatly appreciated!!! And, if you are too busy to go fishing, we’ll, you’re just too busy!!! Till next time, God Bless You All!!!

Yeah Right Charters
I think it's time to take Freshwater fishing trips to the next level and have decided it was time to branch out and teach some how to do what I've learned in over 65+ years of dedicating my life to not just fishing, but, how to catch fish so they can go catching, which is the most fun part of fishing . We will no longer be running saltwater trips but freshwater trips year round.
Like I said, it will be a limited number, so call Barbara @ 336-309-5900 ASAP about a Crappie, Catfish, Hybrid, Perch or Bream fishing trip.
On our new fishing pontoon, we can take a lot of people being 24 feet in length, but I will still be limiting it to a maximum of 4 people. I am limiting the number so I can provide the level of customer service we have become famous for with our customers over the years with Yeah Right Charters on our Saltwater Charters!!! Our 24' pontoon boat has a capacity of 14 people, so you can see we will not be crowded and running into each other and she is now rigged and loaded with fishing options for Crappie and Catfish on the Yadkin River, dams and Piedmont lakes around Lexington, NC. I have an enclosure around the cockpit that is heated when it's real cold if we need it. Special arrangements at a little more cost due to travel distance pulling the boat and travel expenses can be tailored for other lakes like Jordan, etc. We also have smaller boats for specialized trip but the number of people going will be limited to 2.
With my 65+ years of fishing experience I can teach you many different techniques of fishing from this vessel or one of our 3 other vessels. Spider rigging for Crappies, long line trolling for crappies, tight lining for crappies using both minnows or jigs casting jigs or minnows for Crappies, using downriggers, planer boards, etc. drifting for catfish and how to control your drift speed, Santee rigging and slow trolling for catfish, or just anchoring and rigging up to catch catfish this way.
