jeepcrazy Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Hey guys, I'm in the one-week lead-up to my summer vacation (just me, 3 kids, 1 woman, and 32,510 acres of water for me to fish) on Lake Norman. I've been trolling all over the place to try to find some local fishing reports to see where they're taking them and how, but I'm not seeing alot. Can anyone give me any advice down there? I'd love to have this trip be relaxing AND productive!! -JC Quote
Gotfishyfingers? Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Lake Norman is a spotted bass lake, it's loaded with them. Although it has large mouth, they dont populate the south end (clearer water) as much. I would target the spots. They put up a great fight to. One of the key things on norman is light line and light wire hooks. I would throw a drop-shot, shakey head or a split-shot. Throw up under the docks. There is a million of them on norman. The bass will tell you where there at, so if you catch one in the back of a dock in the shade, chances are they will be at the next dock like that. I remember the pilings being key also there, drag a spit shot around them. Check over by the Davidson area. The rocks along the highway are productive at times to. You really can't beat watermelon seed on that lake to. Zoom makes a finesse dead ringer, centipede 4in., or a small speed worm. Also always keep contact with the bottom. Drag not hop. One last thing in some areas you will see they had to cut the rock out to make a channel from a dock to the lake. Fish those areas as well. Good luck, hope this helps. Quote
