Topwater is on fire on Lake Norman right now, the only bait needed to catch 30 plus spotted bass throughout the day is a Teckel Kicknocker!! The only baits in my boat right now is a black shore, bone, & chrome Kicknocker, from safe lift to sunset wind blown points are holding schools of spotted bass ready to crush a topwater plug being twitch above them. My last 4 sessions have all started & ended with the Teckel in my hands! Everything from dinks to 4 pounders are feeding heavily throughout the day. If you find the right point it will be your only spot you'll need to find on your next outing. Changed out those factory hooks to some Owner trebles because the Lake Norman spots are looking to destroy any & everything that comes into their personal space. Tight lines!! Twitch Twitch Boom💥

I fished from daylight until 12pm. There was virtually no current. I caught 4 largemouth and 8 spotted bass. 6 were keepers over 14”. Two keeper largemouth and 4 keeper spots. First two fish were caught on a white fluke. Slowed way down and fished a weightless Senko painfully slow and caught 10. Most of the bites came off the ends of lay downs.
