Norwood 5/25

[breeves2245]

Took advantage of a weather forecast with no rain in the immediate future to beat the banks with a Tiny Torpedo. I was hoping to raise a bass at least one pound but nothing doing. Put 10 or so dinks in the live well for a fish fry. Caught most on the topwater and a few on the Ned but they didn't want anything to do with the Wiggly Wart. Water of course a little high and off color, but not too bad.

I really enjoy fishing Norwood, very peaceful, pretty lake with natural banks. Only a few bulkheads and docks. Just wish it wasn't so stunted with small bass. If I ever get some decent electronics on the new boat, I want to fish offshore and see if my quality of fish increases.

Just finished pan frying them up with some of Cabela's fish seasoning. Not bad, but bass ain't Rainbow Trout. Guess I have a beer and wait for the next thunderstorm to roll in.

Pretty much had the same luck fishing Norwood, lots of dinks. I think I remember catching a 2 lb.bass in there once several years ago. Pretty lake for sure. Lakes biologist told me there are a few in there in the 3-5 lb. range.

It's been awhile, but you used to be able to catch bream there as big as most Norwood bass. Way better eating too.

[Quillback]

Probably still some good bream in there.

There are no bream in Norwood. I wouldn't even bother trying, plus it is a real pain to put a boat in there. Lots of other easier options.

Breeves, what does your boat look like? I was in the white Lowe. We caught a few of the endangered bluegill today. Had to stick and move a bunch but worked up a fair mess.

I was in the red Crestliner. I was at the dock when you were dropping off one of the guys from your boat.

Going to hitting it this afternoon when the rain finally quits and tomorrow morning, not sure which lakes yet.
