Well, let me tell ya, that Lake Norman is a place where a person can do some serious fishin’, if ya know what I mean. Now, February might be a bit chilly, but them bass, they ain’t bothered none. They’re startin’ to feel that warm weather comin’ on, just like we all do when the sun starts peekin’ out a bit more. The fish ain’t as sluggish as you’d think; nope, they’re gettin’ ready for spring, just like everyone else.
Now, if you’re thinkin’ about catchin’ yourself some bass, there’s a trick or two ya might wanna know. Them jerkbaits, well, they work like a charm when the weather’s cold. You throw ’em in the water and let ’em suspend right above the fish’s head, and before ya know it, you’ve got a bite. I seen it with my own eyes! They seem to love it when they’re just hangin’ out, waitin’ for somethin’ to swim by.
There’s this place by the riprapped banks—yep, that’s where ya wanna be if ya lookin’ to catch some big ol’ largemouth bass. The fish, they’ll be movin’ from deep water to the shallows, and that’s when ya need to be ready. I always say, follow the fish, and ya might just catch a big one. It ain’t no secret; just have a bit of patience and you’ll see ‘em comin’ to you.
Now, don’t get too focused on just bass. Oh no, you might think you’re after the big ones, but them catfish, perch, and crappie might come along too. Them fish got no shame, they’ll bite anything they can get their mouths around. You’ll be busy, trust me on that one. And I ain’t kiddin’—them bluegills, they always show up when you least expect ’em. They’re the most common sunfish ‘round here, and they’re always ready to take a nibble, so keep your eyes peeled.
If you’re new to fishin’ at Lake Norman, let me give you a little rundown. Lake Norman is one big ol’ body of water, let me tell ya. It’s got a fair bit of depth too, so ya gotta know where them fish like to hang out. You’ll wanna check them fishing reports before you go, because the fish, they got their moods, and the reports can help you figure out where they’re at. Just remember, fishing ain’t no science; it’s a lot of guessin’ and luck.
Now, March is when things really start heatin’ up. If you’re lucky, ya might even catch a fish that’s in the 20-25 lb. range. Yep, them big ones start comin’ in closer to shore, lookin’ for food as the weather warms up. March through April, that’s the sweet spot, but it ain’t always easy. The fish are there, but you gotta know what you’re doin’ to get ‘em. And don’t go thinkin’ it’s all about luck; it takes a bit of know-how too.
So, if you’re headin’ out to Lake Norman, keep a few things in mind. The fish are there, just waitin’ for you to find ’em. Use the right bait, watch the weather, and keep track of them reports. You might just get lucky, and who knows, you could pull in a big one. Just make sure to bring your patience, ’cause fishing ain’t a race; it’s a test of time. But when you finally get that big catch, it sure makes all the waiting worth it.
