    Default Tough Norman Outing


    We put in Saturday morning at Beatties and tried to find a few hybrids. Trolled A-rigs all morning without hardly a bite. It didn't matter whether we fished coves, creek channels, along shoals, main lake, they were having none of it. Moved into Ramsey creek at noon, put 30 minutes on the timer and said if we get nothing we are going home tail between our legs. Over the next hour we went 3 for 4 on hook-ups. All were 17-18" fish. Noticed the water temp jumped from 48 degrees on main lake to 52 in Ramsey. All fish were caught in 25-35 FOW. Only left bc our trolling motor battery died on us. Oh and they only bit white 3" flukes

    good going.

    One of the key things on Norman is matching the hatch. This time of year they are only eating trolled baits 2.5-3.5 inches.

    I meant to mention that in my post as well. All of my baits were 3 - 3.5" baits. When I filleted them out both had very small shad (1.5 - 2") in their stomachs. One even had some small mussels in there. Seriously wondering if I would've been better off pull 2" crappie jigs and down planning small cranks.
