Low and Slow Two - March 30th, 2025

I went put for an hour of fishing on my own on the New with 59 degree water. Caught two on Ned and had a close encounter with an Otter. They are still a few days away from chasing. 

Return to the New - March 29th, 2025

Brad, Colt, and I floated from Brooks to Sandstone. We caught 9 total. I had 6, Colt caught one despite the fish being sluggish and not wanting to chase. It was a fun day. I lost one due to user error that was maybe 18”. Green pumpkin Ned was the order of the day. 

Total Fish = 6 

Biggest Fish = 15”

Best 5 Fish = 62”

Minutes per Fish = 30.2

Lake Norman Final Day - March 26th, 2025

We closed out an awesome trip with a solid last day despite a mini cold front and some wind. We managed 31 fish boated in 6.25 hours. I had a pair of 19” spots and an 18” lmb. Mike had a bonus crappie and bluegill and the higher numbers for the day. 

In four days we boated 110 fish (106 bass). Five fish over 19” and eight fish over 18”. It was a great trip where I learned a lot and used my electronics more in four days than I have in last five years.

Total Fish Boated = 34 

Biggest Fish = 19”

Best Five Fish = 82”

Minutes per Fish = 26.7

Lake Norman +2 Point Perfection- March 25th, 2025

Nine hours fished, 46 fish boated, two over 19”, three over 18. We set up a milk run of secondary points and they all produced fish. Caught them in Ned when still and MegaBass in 10 to 30 foot of water. Our plan we put together from the last two days worked to protection. 

Total Fish Boated = 46 

Individual Fish = 26 

Biggest Fish = 19 X 2

Best Five = 92 ish “

Lake Norman +1 Finesee Points - March 24, 2025

Despite working through some early rain Mike and I refined our pattern and doubled production from 11 fish yesterday to 21 today. The bite was on either Ned or MegaBass 110 on secondary points. Every point had fish. Big large mouth and big spot of the day both went to Mike on a Ned rig. 

Lake Norman Day Zero - March 23rd, 2025

Mike and I hit Lake Norman after the drive down at 9:30 and fished till 5:30. High pressure fronts and lots of boats had the fish not wanting to chase. We managed 10 spots and a large mouth. Caught a couple in a mega bass jerk bait, one on a fluke, one on a shakey head and the rest on a Ned rig, Strike zones were small. Main lake rip rap and some secondary points were the location.
