met up with the CDC world famous Newly and his father in law to show him around lake norman.....literally. Put A-LOT of miles in looking for fish. 2 inches of rain the night before did not help any.

by around 1100am, the fog got so thick that visibility was less than 50ft and finding any life was tough, so called it a day early.

Newly did get to tug on his first every Hybrid which was a toad (for now) at about 21 1/2 inches.

correct me if I am wrong Newly, final tally for the morning was 4 hybrids (one with a quick release) about 5 perch, and 4 or so Spots. was a tough bite, but definitely made the best of it.

as Newly is my witness, all but 2 fish came off the A-rig on the downrigger.

Enjoyed it! Cant wait for a Cool snap. its whats needed to really fire off the fish on Norman. looks like its the only lake we will be able to fish this Winter!

ill let newly post pictures if ya want!!
