Thread: Banner day on Norman 1-26 SOLO, pair of double digit striper!

That is great. I had setup a rig with large willow blades on the inside position on double loop arms but I think this would work better. I have a mold for spinner baits so I could just make it in heavy wire with closed loops for the attachment point and it should be rock solid.

Looks like you had a fun fun day

Glad to see that you use umbrella rigs over there, we use them here on Lake Ouachita too. I had been going to try incorporating spinners into mine, but never though about complete spinnerbaits. I was going to try putting some big spinners on the inside 4 points of a 9 lure umbrella rig.

Way to go

Crappie Dan....The spotted bass are like pirhannas on lake norman. people do not keep many of them and they need to be thinned out! in my opinion they taste pretty good...if not better than crappie.

Nothing like dropping the tailgate on your truck and start filleting bass at tournament weigh in at the boat ramp. LOL!! They want you to think they're not good to eat!

Them striper are some pretty fish. Nice work

Congrats Pete, great fish and pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want to continue catching double digit Stripers in LKN, might want to think about throwing the big ones back. Seeing how North Carolina isnt stocking them in there anymore. In a few years they are all going to be gone!!
