    Pretty simple pattern to run on Norris this time of year. Find a laydown. Throw a topwater in and around the laydown. It's a pattern that can be run all day but early morning and evening are the best times. The water is really clear right now so make as long a cast as possible past the cover and work the bait to it, instead of throwing right on top of it.

    With the wind blowing 20+ mph most of the day slowing down and picking cover apart wasn't really an option. I grabbed a 3/8 war eagle spinnerbait with white double willow blades and just covered water. I caught them off different types of cover but laydowns and trash mats were the main areas. Deflecting the spinnerbait off of limbs or the trunk was key to getting the reaction bite.
