The Best Fishing Spots in Raleigh
August 16, 2017
Something that attracts so many people to move to North Carolina is our beautiful landscapes – from the mountains to the beaches and everything in between – including the lakes!
As the boat rental company at Falls Lake in Raleigh, Motor Boatin loves Falls Lakes. But, that doesn’t mean that we only rent our fishing boats at Falls Lake. We offer rental services at a variety of lakes in North Carolina.
5 great spots to go fishing in the Raleigh area, that is not Falls Lake, are:
- Shelley Lake: This body of water spans for 53 acres. Although smaller compared to neighboring lakes, it still makes for some awesome fishing.
- Jordan Lake: Jordan Lake sits on thousands upon thousands of beautiful acres and offers some of the best fishing in Wake County!
- William B. Umstead State Park: This state park has three different lakes to choose from. Spend the entire day here and bounce from lake to lake to lake. Popular catches include bass, bluegill, and crappie.
- Lake Crabtree County Park: At this 520-acre lake, catch-and-release fishing is what takes place on the water. It makes for a serene day, and who knows – maybe you’ll catch the same fish twice!
- Bass Lake Park and Retreat Center: Bank fishing is free at this Holly Springs location. Guided bass fishing tours are an option as well, as this lake offers some of the best bass fishing there is!
