Hello everyone, 3/14 & 3/15 I will be on lake norman for a kayak tournament. I am from Indiana, and have never gotten to fish lake norman, and as of right now at best I'm going to get Friday only to fish. Can anyone offer up a little info to help me, in lines with water quality, colors baits etc. When looking at the map this lake is far bigger than anything I have been on with thousands of points haha. We can launch from any public site, thank you in advance for any info given

you might want to try a smaller lake norman is very busy in the spring 32,000 acres. Wylie is close and so is Hickory a lot easier to navigate in a kyack just my 2 cents
that is where the tournament is I dont have a option to try other lakes.
Shoot an IM to RB, He knows more about Norman than most. A lot will depend on the weather. It can either be 70 degrees or snowing here in NC. Good Luck
youll be there 2/3 weeks befor full spawn, there can be some big female spots loading up some of the shouls & rocky points on the lower end of the lake if you get a light breeze run wopper ploper and jerk baits & skip jig under deeper piers... you'll be happy..... how do you fish a jerk bait from a YAK.....
ps: where are yall going to launch from? that will make a BIG difference on how you will need to plan your practice.

The water is generally clear to light stain most of the time in most places. Browns, Watermelon, Green Pumpkin colors.
A lot of tournaments and big boats.
