I got to go to Norman last weekend and again today. Today the weather was misty rain until 10 am then pretty windy, water temp 55-56. The fishing was slow, catching one here and there on deeper...

Thanks for the report!

Thanks for the report.

Ha! Picture upside down, I hate it when it does that!

Thanks to Bobby Garland for the prize pack and Crappie.com for having the contest. The prize pack arrived today and I was like a kid at Christmas, as I opened the box. I can't wait to try some of the...

I think I got a PM to you with my address.
When I posted my first report this spring, I didn't know about the contest unit I saw it on the reply, so winning a prize pack was most unexpected. We...

The pics didn't come thru in the correct order, the middle pic of my partner is from Saturday.

The bite was good both days. Water temps were 60-62 degrees and fish are around shallow brush and docks. Saturday morning was cool and windy and the bite picked up mid morning, and we left them...

Norman continued to produce some nice fish despite the cooler weather. The bite was better early and slowed midday. The wind picked up and limited the places we could fish, headed home at 4pm. Water...

Here are some pics of Tuesday on Norman. Another good day. Same pattern, shallow brush with jigs. Weekend weather may slow'em down a little, but that's why we call it fishin. It's still fun!

Fish mostly from hwy 150 bridge in both directions up and down river from there. Fallen trees or shallow brush around docks.

Crappies are moving shallow, had over 50 and left them biting around 3pm. Water temp reached 68 in places. They are not on every tree but you should get a limit. Caught fish on Bobby Garland blue...

Once the rain moved out, the fish moved up. We caught fish over brush that was in 15-20 feet of water. Fish were holding shallow, less than 5 feet, and we're caught on jigs. Color didn't matter, they...

Fished this morning from daylight til about 10:30. Caught 16 on jigs around docks. Water was stained and 45-48 deg. The action slowed after the first hour. Short trip, time to watch the Daytona race.

Here is a link I use to check the water temp. It is recorded in Stumpy Creek, and it's usually pretty accurate. You can check it anytime. ...

Nice catch!

Hey here are some pics from the last two days. Fish are on the banks. Fished 4 to 5 hrs each afternoon. Caught 59 Wednesday and 41 today.

I usually fish above hwy 150 bridge.

Fished from 2pm to 7pm, caught 46. Fish were on the banks. Used BG jigs. Also found a lost jug with a nice cat on it.

Fished this afternoon, a little rain moved thru but the bite was good. Fish are finally starting to move up. Caught 45-50 on jigs around brush.

I don't know if I will be able to attend due work, depends on the date you guys choose. I would try to poll to see what part of the lake the majority of the people wanted to fish, the upper end or...

Congrats on the catch!

I fished Saturday as well. The bite was slow, caught 30 or so, most over 10 inches. Fish were in shallow brush on shallow docks 6 or 7 fow or less. Maybe catch 1 or 2 per dock.

I've been fishing Norman for a long time and I know others that have also. I don't recall of too many 100+ days. If they are biting good, 50+ is a great day. I would say a good average day would be...

Fished above 150 bridge. Fish several different colors with white/chartreuse and blue/chartreuse being the best.

My dad and I hit water around 11:30am and had 55 keepers by about 4:30pm. Had a good steady bite all afternoon with a good mix of males and females, some on the larger side. All fish were caught on...

Haven't been myself, but have a friend thats be catching 50 to 100 per day, most of them on them small side.

Nice catch! I think they are gonna be coming in early this year on Norman with the mild winter. We caught fish in 3-4ft on Friday.

Hey spotrunnin I fished cuts off the main channel from bridge towards Long Island, just trying to hide from the wind. Also, had alot of big males probably close to half. A sign of good things to...
