A. Circuit: Other
B. Location: Lake Norman
C. Conditions: Cloudy morning, Sunny Hot AT 90 WT 80
D. Patterns: Skipping brush under docks with a green pumpkin purple trick worm on a 1/8 oz screw lock shakey head
E. Results: 7 fish 9-05
F. Hindsight: The 150 marina has good fish and I am not working it long enough this is 2 days of hindsight the last day I should have been here earlier and fished it longer
G. Extra:

Right off the bat I noticed that the water seemed better. It was kind of a feeling that the lake changed back toward the way it was during practice and I was correct.

I started off that morning the same way and headed toward the the Explosion Marina but it was still not accessible. So I skipped the sailboat marina and headed to some of the docks.

I picked up a quick fish on the shakey head and just kept on working my areas. I re-worked a few docks from yesterday and pulled afew more keepers off them. I also hit some of the docks that I did not hit yesterday. Just about every dock that I had on my GPS gave up some kind of fish not all of them were keepers but at least there was action.

By 12:30 I had my limit and started on the kicker fishing. And as soon as I stopped throwing the finesse stuff my co angler picks up a pair that I could have culled with. SoI pick up the skipping rig and cull a couple pretty quick. I don't want to catch fish that I may need for tomorrow that is my theory on throwing the big swim bait.

My co angler was happy to fish my waters and I made certain that I put him on fish.

I knew the weights were going to be pretty good today and I ended up slipping to 2nd place overall.

Getting ready for day 2 of the Southern Divisional On the Stage on day 2
