Ok
So you know Norris is a deep lake with little structure from what I have seen and been told. That might explain why the crappie that has no cover to relate to are being eaten.
Now as far as calling people yankees on this side of Tennessee. You might want to look toward Nashville and see how many YANKEES are there trying to be country boys and girls. Just what I say in the 5 yrs I was over in middle Tennessee and I have been east of Cookville alot longer. Just food for thought.
If in doubt, cross their eyes!!
