Catfish biting good on Lake Norman by Mac Byrum (6/12/2007)
A four hour outing on LKN should produce 10 to 30 blue cats. Freshly cut bream, shad or white perch will produce the bite. Early AM is consider to be the best time due to boat traffic.

More Action Out Of Lightweight Fishing Gear by Mac Byrum (12/11/2006)
If you want to add to your fishing experience go lite as it relates to fishing line and equipment. Lake Norman is the place to be for action as it relates to four to ten pound stripers. To add to this enjoyment, I suggest you use lite action rods and fill your bait casting reels with ten pound test line, with the drag set at four pounds.

Got away from the black water (mentioned in my first report) and found some fish that would bite. Almost full moon the night before, but we did not let that stop our fishing.
