Hi all i am coming down to lake norris to do some smallie fishing and some hopeful bonus striper fishing Apr.8-11. I was just wondering what the water temps were maybe around hickory star marina and how the smallies and stripers were doing. This will be my first real trip to norris and i would love to make it a good one. I release all my smallies i don't care if its a 7lber. And i mostly release all stripers but i may keep one or 2 to eat while we are down there. i also want to know when they change the limit from the winter to the spring and summer limit of 2. i usually fish lake cumberland and dale hollow but looking for a change this year. Thanks in advance.
Fishing for smallies will be tough they are moving on to beds now with water temps in the high 50's and some places at 60 this past weekend. With the full moon coming I expect sm fishing to be off for a while. I caught a few stripers near hickory star yesterday pm on a medium sized red fin when they where chasing shad.
Good luck.
