The best times are fall and spring for crappie and for bass on Lake Norman. Spring is when the bass and crappie pre-spawn. Fall is just as amazing. During the summer, the bite is strongest early in the morning or late in the evening. Winter can also be productive with a quality vertical fishing bite.

Absolutely! We welcome anglers of all experience levels, from kids holding their first fish to seasoned tournament anglers. Coaching is always included, and all tackle is provided.

Please bring a valid North Carolina fishing license, sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), drinks and snacks, and a small cooler if you’d like to take fish home. We provide all tackle and gear. We also provide ice and water.

Safety is always our top priority. If the weather isn’t safe, we’ll reschedule your trip or refund your deposit.

We focus on crappie, largemouth bass, spotted bass, striped bass, hybrid bass, and catfish on Lake Norman. Each season offers unique opportunities, so there’s always something biting.
