On this episode of Fishing the DMV, I sit down with Captain Zach Howell of Threadfin Guide Service to break down a mid-summer and early fall fishing report for Buggs Island (Kerr Lake). Zach shares how cooling water temps and moving baitfish are already shifting bass and stripers from deep structure into creeks, rocky banks, and points.
We cover the top lures, depth zones, and patterns for finding fall success on Buggs Island and across North Carolina’s lakes. Whether you’re chasing largemouth, stripers, or crappie, this episode is packed with local knowledge and proven tactics from one of the region’s best guides.
🎣 Don’t miss this must-watch fall fishing report from southern Virginia’s legendary Kerr Lake!
