benny Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 lake norman is getting alot easier than it use to be.there is alot of spootted bass there now.i wuold start at the area around the hot hole at the nuke plant and go south to blythe landing.fish points first with 14 rattle trap.(chrome side -black back).drop shot or small c-rig. the water temp will be 10-15 deg warmer in that area.also dont forget to use flukes!

MR KNOW IT ALL KIND OF Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Todd, I am cracking up... I just sent you a private message about Norman Before I read Benny's post.. Then I went back and read his post and he said about the same thing I said... WOW...Sorry for the same info.. But I did say something about the hot hole and the KEY IS FLUKES!!! But I wouldnt waste my time at it during a tournament... Unless you havent caught a dam thing and you dont want to come in with no fish at all..... But you will not win it fishing the Hot hole... You will catch fish their but 2 pounders are RARE at hot hole... And 2 pd fish will win the thing...Lake Norma fish are smaller than most in the south because of that same power planet. Bait fish problem... Water lacks nutritions needed for big fish to get big.. I have read alot of stuff on the net about Norman...But I love the lake.. Its my 2nd home.

kmb Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 West side of the lake in the coves. Fish the deeper docks by bouncing crank baits off the piles. I moved from Charlotte in '02 and miss her every day. Back than it was called the dead sea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
