Top Charlotte Magnet Fishing Spots for Beginners
One time in Charlotte, I pulled a weird chain from a creek—turned out to be from an old fence. Magnet fishing here's laid-back: Magnet-rope combo for water treasures, cleaning as you go. Ideal for Southern families.
Five spots (expanding to more), public and easy. NC rules: Okay mostly, check parks.
