Lake Murray is home to some of the best freshwater fishing spots on the East Coast — and you don’t need to be a pro to enjoy them! Whether you’re after bass, crappie, or just a relaxing day on the water, there’s no better time to cast a line.
Here are a few fun ways to celebrate National Fishing Month:
-
Try something new: Rent a boat or hire a local guide to explore hidden fishing holes.
-
Bring the kids: Many local parks and piers offer easy, safe spots for beginners.
-
Join a tournament: Local fishing clubs often welcome newcomers.
-
Catch and release: Help keep Lake Murray’s fish population healthy for future anglers.
So grab your rod, pack some snacks, and enjoy a little time by the water this August!
