Norman 1-9

hit norman spur of the moment yesterday just for a few hrs from 1130-2ish. brought the leadcore stuff, and 1 crappie rod with my leftover minnows "just in case".

trolled the leadcore stuff for no more than 30 minutes, and knew it just wasnt gonna happen in the 44 degree murkey water :eek:

went to plan B, C, and D.....fished 1 dock where ive always caught a few fish off of in the past, but not much. low and behold i scratched off a decent Norman catch and called it a day.

final tally was 7 crappie, 1 2lb spot, and a 17 inch striper.
had 1 decent norman slab that was maby 1 1/4 lbs, and everything else were good 10-12 inch keepers. cant complain on a windy, cold and bluebird day.

water temp above 150 is 40-42, and 44-48 at mouth of hothole :eek: :eek:

whats wrong w/them fish...knew for sure you,d get on some stripers..was it muddy near the hot hole too cause between the 2 hole we went to last year 1 of em should held some fish.least you went,,i was back n forth to bball games n practice..

im just not dedicated enough YET this year to go after them! when it warms a bit, im thinking about hitting some of them lights at night shortly and see if i can find a few that way.

All I have to say is Kerr Lake Striper 1 - REDBOAT 0... Oh well, Looks like the water there is the same as Norman... murkey.. Temp was 36.... We'll Try again next week...

I think this cold weater may have them all lockjawed. I expect the shad are going to have a tough time as well, then we won't be able to catch them for all the dead bait in the water

Its a good time to drop a load of bamboo!!:rolleyes:

good job Pete

The hothole ain't much of a hothole this year! i dont' get it. I keep waiting on reports of warma water, but I ain't going until I hear it!
