    Default Norman 1-6


    Woke up to a txt sent by a buddy at 2am saying hes sufferimg from a stomach bug and won't be able to fish today. I myself got hit with that "type A" flu that has been going around but decided to venture out there anyways.

    Rode uplake, rode down lake, rode in a few creeks and found NOTHING. No life, and water temp is the coldest i have EVER seen on Norman. To at least make a day of it decided to fish where i "expected" them to be.

    Did i mention it was cold? 9 degrees in the morning. I dont know how people up north do it.

    Made a decent day of it. First fish right off the bat a nice 29 inch striper that fought hard! Thought I was onto something. That was the only good pullage all day.

    Ended the day with 1 10lb striper, 6 hybrids, 10 spots and 2 fat perch.

    Kept 1 hybrid and the perch for dinner tonight and all else got the release.

    Everything was caught down wayyyg deep on my A-rigs 25-40ft deep.

    Met countryboy and jigpuller out there and sounded like he too was working hard to make a day of it.

    You are one tough mama-jama to be out there today. I walked out to feed the cat and froze my butt off. If NC weather was like this for weeks or months every year I would MOVE!!!

    You'll can be the icebergs all you want. I'm staying in the house if at all possible. But I'm glad someone went to give us a report to read while drinking coffee this morning.
