After driving 9 hours on our way to the NC shore, we decided to stop for the night. We checked in…read moreto our hotel and decided we must stretch our legs and do some walking. A quick search indicated that this greenway was nearby. What a great find! The paved path is approximately 1/2 -3/4 mile around a beautiful lake and includes several beautiful wooden bridges for taking photos, fishing and viewing the lake. The entire area is well-maintained and is wheelchair friendly. There is a large pier at one end of the lake for fishing and many fishing spots around the perimeter of the lake. The paved path is not directly by the lake, rather up the bank from the water's edge. There are several benches placed along the path for resting or taking in the scenery. We saw geese, ducks, turtles, and rabbits. Had we stayed longer, I feel certain we might have seen other wildlife. There was not a dedicated parking lot, but cars were parked along the road in the bike lanes. If I lived in the area I know that I would be a frequent visitor!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Yeah Right. This was my first experience…read morewith a charter operation, and I couldn't be happier. We went out on a half day trip when the inshore fishing could generously be described as "crap". Captain Butch decided to take us offshore to improve our odds (despite the gas he would burn). After about fifteen minutes of fishing, we wound up hooking what turned out to be an 11ft tiger shark and fought it for two hours. I will probably never hook up on a fish that big again, and I'm so very pleased he and Chris let us work it for as long as we could. On the way back in (and we were already running late), he stopped the boat and let us pull some sharks and bass off the bottom so we could have something in the cooler for dinner. I will fish with Butch and Chris out of Southport for as long as they care to run a boat. My yearly trips to the beach now give me one more thing to look forward to!

It's a pretty park BUT if you are a serious bank fisherman, the bank fishing area at the marina is…read morenot the move. Boats can get out on the water away from the overpressurized Marina area, where there's a lot of people, and a lot of noise. No, this is just my opinion, but I've talked to several anglers who have said the same thing and the difficulty of catching fish at the bank area at Oak Hollow. If you wanted to have maybe just a picnic and casually fish, maybe this is the move. But if you're trying to catch serious fish, this is not the move. Lovely area though.

I was impressed with his knowledge of where to fish, what to use, and the habits of the wildlife on the river. Also find out the his company also does float trips and rental several different types of water craft for river use. It's not often one that a client gets the owner of the business as a guide, I was fortunate. If you decide to fish the Smith call his company and ask for him. He will put you on fish, keep you entertained and provide memories for a lifetime. Check out his web site the pictures are the real deal. I will fish with him again.

Very affordable for a family outing, and there are two large ponds, so it is never "too crowded." It was only $6 per person to fish all day. Forget the Blackberry at home, but not the fishing chair. Take a day and try something different at Lakeshore Fishing.
