Lake Norman Report 6-30-12 Good bite going on

**troller2** · 06-30-2012, 03:15 PM

I hit Lake Norman just after daylight. I started out around maker 7 this morning. My freezer died last week and I lost all my perch so the only bait I had was some frozen shad that I was able to save. I also made up a Mac special of CBMIGP. I have had no luck with it in the past but Mac kills them with it so I figured I would give it a try. Started fishing and wouldn’t you know the first fish hit on the CBMIGP. Within the first hour I was on the perch and started changing out baits. Caught several blues, 3 channels, and a bunch of perch in the first creek. I moved a little south and fished a creek I have never fished before right off the main channel. I got into a huge school of perch landed several more blues and one more channel. Caught 0 fish on the shad, 4 fish on the CBMIGP, 12 fish on fresh perch. Most all the fish were 6 lbs and under but I was able to land a nice 17 lb blue. I was off the water by noon.

You know I was thinking about that today and almost made a run to some deep water to look but it was getting hot out there and I called it a day. Didn't notice any where I was.

Thanks for the report, video and shots of the sonar. Glad to see you finding some in this heat. Hoping to get a few days off next week and wet a hook........
