    Norris Lake help

    Heading up to Norris this weekend for bass. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated as I've only been up there a handful of times.

    Water temp last weekend was in the 50*-52* range. Caught a few doing everything, spinnerbait, crankbait, finesse but I had most of my success with a football jig... Dan

    Someone has to show me how to work the Damiki... Maybe I'm just too old to be playing video game fishing... Dan

    factory settings are good with my HDS12's i just tweak the sensitivity up a little based on the water clarity and current if im around somewhere drawing water. At norris you can jack the sensitivity through the roof.
