North Carolina and South Carolina among the best states for fishing

I was probably just learning how to walk when my Daddy put a cane pole in my hand.  He showed me how to bait a hook, catch a fish, take it off the hook , clean it and put it in a pan.  He would say "you aren't a real fisherman til you know how to do it all".  And I LOVED doing it all.  Still do.  It was no surprise to me when both North Carolina and South Carolina made the top ten list of the best states in America for fishing.

Fishing really started catching on during the pandemic according to an article in Charlotte stories.  More and more people got outside and got back to nature.  Fishing is one of the most basic of human skills and it is fun!  North Carolina ranked 10th in the top ten list and South Carolina came in at number 9.  Florida was number one.  To learn more about the best states in the nation to fish, get details here.

Here are few pics of the fish I have caught in the Carolinas over the years.  Fresh water or salt water, it is all fun and plentiful.
