  • Lake Norman Fishing Report - NC

    Hot Spots of the Week: High water has pushed bass closer to shore, where they’re being caught on top water, jerk and spinner baits. Back coves and shallow water dock pilings are excellent places to catch them. In addition, schoolie size spotted bass, hybrids and an occasional striper are surface feeding at
    dawn and dusk. Try fishing the mouth of Ramsey and Little Creeks, as well as, the main river channel adjacent to and north of the Lake Norman State Park. Best baits are Rat-L-Traps, Tackle Town Sure Spins and a variety of top water and jerk baits. Crappie and perch fishermen are getting their fair share on live minnows in water to forty feet deep.
