403 | How to Catch Bass on Bugg’s Island during the Fall Transition
About this episode
On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, I sit down with Joseph Sharpe, an angler who grew up on the shores of Bugg’s Island (Kerr Lake). With decades of time on the water, Joseph gives us an in-depth breakdown of how he approaches bass fishing on this legendary fishery during late summer and early fall — when the water is still warm, baitfish are moving, and the bass are in transition.
From locating schools of fish to dialing in lure choices and adapting to shifting conditions, Joseph shares the exact strategies he uses to consistently find success on Bugg’s Island. Whether you’re a local angler or planning your first trip to Kerr Lake, this episode is packed with proven patterns, seasonal insights, and stories from someone who knows this lake inside and out.
If you’ve ever wanted to unlock the secrets of late-season bass fishing on Bugg’s Island, this is one you won’t want to miss!
This is an episode packed with local knowledge and practical advice you won’t want to miss!
