Comment by David Wester on April 23, 2013 at 3:49pm: The day started bad and ended great! I hit the water with 2 poles rigged with slip floats and my favorite jigs. Within 5 mins i had 2 nice gills, then things went bad. I made a cast into a tree and lost my float and jigs. Then, while adusting the depth on the other pole, i broke my line. I spent the next 30 mins trying to rethread the bobber but couldnt get the 2lb test back through. Just as I was about to give up and head in, i decided to cast a jig. Thats when the real fun started. For the next 2 1/2 hrs the action was nonstop. Most fish were caught in 2-3 ft of water, although many of the bigger ones were a little deeper. They were not picky at all, hitting rooster tails, roadrunners, jims flies, and bass pro rubber shad in all colors. I went through many lures because they were shallow around trees and stumps-lots of snags. Many healthy fish with alot in the 8-9 inch range. Some bigger fish too, in the 9.5+ inch range. What a day! Pictures below.

Comment by David Wester on April 23, 2013 at 10:11am: Great day on lake Norman today. At one point for about an hour had one on every cast. Stopped counting but I'm guessing I caught/released around 70 fish. Sunfish of many variety, they were shallow and hitting everything I threw. Full report and pics later today.
