EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FISHING THE AMAZING KERR LAKE AND YOUR HOLIDAY IN
NORTH CAROLINA, CONTINUED
Q : Do I
need a fishing permit ?
A : Yes and don't fish without it. They are readily available
from a variety of outlets in the local towns. They cost around £20 and
you can fish wherever you like except for any designated wildlife areas.
You can also use as many rods as you wish but you will only need two.
The licence is technically valid for North Carolina but you can use it
in neighbouring Virginia as well. Gaston, Virginia, is the other side of
the dam and has some stunning fish. Again, refer to the fishing links as
they become available.
Q : Will
there be many other anglers ?
A :
From the bank side you'll be hard pushed to see any and will
certainly never have to fight for a swim ! There are varying numbers of
boats and the occasional Bass tournament but the place is huge by
European standards and it is never too busy. While we were there we
didn't come across a single angler bank-side and there were only a few
boats at the weekend ..... and they were a long way off. There are just
so many places that beg to be fished you'll never be bothered by anyone.
Q : What
about bugs and things that bite ?
A : This is a subject covered in the ' Do's & Don'ts section. The links
will be live in a day or so. It is important that you read about what to
expect so take the time to browse through and you'll be fine.
Q : I've
heard that many of the houses and cabins have a No Smoking policy, is
this true ?
A : To a large extent yes. Most properties do have outside porches etc
which can be used and of course if you decide to camp out it is not
relevant. We can locate properties for smokers but they are more
difficult to find. It is a situation that we found a little odd as there
are tobacco plantations everywhere and the cost of a packet of
cigarettes is cheap enough for even the poorest on the planet to kill
themselves with ease , perhaps it's more to do with fire insurance.
Incidentally, just about the whole 800 mile+ perimeter is unspoilt
woodland so don't be stupid and set fire to the place ! You will be
astounded at how clean the place is kept so please respect the area and
make sure that you don't leave any litter anywhere. There are plenty of
bins etc so there is no excuse to be untidy. And please ....... don't
leave discarded hooks and line anywhere. Many of the European,
particularly British, venues are a disgrace so please look after this
place as it's a real gem.
Q : Is the
food expensive ?
A : Very definitely NO ! The supermarkets are really cheap, as are the
takeaways, local restaurants and above all the fuel stations. We were
paying less than £ 1.25 per gallon for unleaded and everyone we talked
to were moaning about it !!!! So don't worry about renting a big V8 like
the one in our pictures, it's still cheaper than running a mini in the
UK.
Gordon bloody Brown and his taxes ......... he would give them something
to really moan about.
Q : How far
from the airport is Kerr Lake ?
A : It's around an hours drive from Raleigh terminal. We can arrange
your transport though so no worries there.
Q : If I booked a holiday, how many extras are there on top of the cost
?
A : Just your food etc. You let us know exactly want you want and we'll
give you a price. We always spend time talking things through with you
so you'll know exactly where you stand. If we ever got it wrong we would
cover the difference.
Q : How
secure is the holiday, so many travel companies seem unreliable or
unexpectedly go bankrupt.
A : We are not a travel company. Our function is to arrange everything
for you so it's all booked via established airlines and various car and
boat hire companies. We have spent almost two years and a great deal of
money establishing all the contacts needed to make this a fantastic
holiday. Without doubt we know more about Kerr and the surrounding areas
than most of the locals, and that includes species knowledge. ! This
place is virtually unvisited by European anglers and it had taken some
time to really get to grips with all it has to offer. In summary, all
the guarantees that each of the respective companies such as British
Airways, AA etc have are in place so your holiday is as safe as it can
ever be. What's more, we have the added security of being able to adapt
to any situation and find alternatives in the unlikely event that a
component part of the holiday went wrong.
Q : How much
deposit is required and when is the balance due ?
A : There is a great deal of work to do on your behalf and we will
require a 25% deposit once we have talked it through with you and you
give us the go ahead to proceed. This deposit is not refundable if you
cancel. However, we are fully aware of how life can play some strange
and unexpected tricks on even the most cautious people so we will always
do all we can to rearrange your holiday if you can't make it. The
balance is due 28 days before departure.
You will receive a full and detailed itinerary with loads of extra
information within one week of booking your holiday.
Q : Do you
have any brochures ?
A : Yes we do, with over 30 pages of information either on CD or hard
copy. These contain many more tips on fishing the venue etc and how to
locate the Carp and other species. However, they are very expensive to
produce and contain details of fish movements etc that have taken us a
great deal of time to research. As a result it is just not viable to
post them out to every enquiry as we would need many hundreds. These
brochures are available however but please contact us direct via
01409-211643 or e-mail admin@supafish.com to talk things over with us
first in order to ensure that they go to genuine enquiries. The point of
these holidays is to provide the purchaser with excellent value and we
see no reason why these costs should rise due to time wasters. Why
should you pay for them ?
Q : I fish
for a variety of species and do not enjoy Carp fishing, preferring
mainly match and predator angling. Is Kerr right for me ?
A : Easy answer is that Kerr is an anglers paradise whatever your
preferences. The range of species is quite stunning and will appeal
whatever your skill level.
Q: OK,
fishing's great, but what about the wife and kids ?
A : They'll love it ! There is so much more to do from water sports to
shopping malls, from scenery to entertainments. They'll even love the
fishing. My daughter hates anything to do with fish unless they are
wrapped in breadcrumbs and yet she not only fell in love with the place
but also caught her first Catfish within five minutes of throwing in a
bait. As for the wife, it doesn't come much better than spending a
moonlit evening drifting along a deserted creek in warm calm weather,
the forest noises in the background, maybe wine and succulent food,
lights from the pontoon boat mirrored in the water ( make sure you have
a bait trailed out the back though 'cos the night fishing's brilliant
)...... or there's always shopping I guess ! Either way, they just won't
want to leave.
