Lucky
Randleman Lake (NC)
Lucky reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Shakey Heads technique and Yamamoto 5" Senko Worm on Randleman Lake. Additional comments from this report: "This is a fun lake when the temperature starts to come up. I know Shakey head is my absolute go to and everyone is tired of hearing it, but it is always working. I found something mean along the way, snapped my braided line TWICE!!! My go-to spinner bait also did plenty today but unfortunately I didn't set deep enough and lost them trying to get them in the kayak. Be careful as you start to push into shore, there is about 10-15ft of rocks submerged. The areas that you can see tree tops are deep, roughly 45-70ft. I will say they didn't want to bite until the water temp got closer to 60. "

Lake Norman (NC)
Omnia Community Member reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Shakey Heads technique and Zoom Finesse Worm on Lake Norman. Additional comments from this report: " Any wind will help. Can catch fish all day but larger fish are in the heaviest small brush piles near creek bends"

Reported by
Justin Logan
Lake Norman (NC)
Justin Logan reported catching Spotted Bass using the Shakey Heads technique and Zoom Finesse Worm on Lake Norman. Additional comments from this report: "Secondary points with brush on them are producing fish from the 150 bridge down. Water temp in the mid to upper 40s so take your time working the brush. A green pumpkin Zoom Finesse worm in clear water and a junebug color in stained water will be the key baits to throw."
