Just Returned from North Carolina.
Made a short stop over @ Lake Norman to catch a bass. After a drive to walmart for fishing "insurance"( a 10 day license),
I made my way over to the public fishing area just south of the power station.

You know. right there just west of MIDWAY Bait & Tackle.

There is a 300 yards strip of rip rap that you can walk the entire length from atop the bank.
After much ado trying out different lures with the planer bobber, I found that the good ole rubber worm was what the Largemouth bass wanted.

Set the planer bobber quick release @ about 10-12 feet,
slowly walk the entire length of the rip rap from the walkway path above.
Right away, I started getting hits.
The more agressive I got with moving the planer bobber ,
pulling then letting worm sink to bottom, the bigger the strikes became.

Landed a NICE 3- 3 1/2 lb large mouth as well.
I was able to fish every inch of the public fishing area with the greatest of ease.

One Rule. And it is important!!!
for artificial bait users,
Fishing bottom or thermokline~
Try dark color lure or rubber worms first!!
The bass largemouth or smallmouth tend to feel more safe at night and are not quite as on gaurd with dark colors. They are going more for the vibration. If they see a bright color on the bottom it seems to scare them off a bit.

Top water seems to have no preference. I usully throw top just to wake them up a bit, then go deep.

Comments welcome

While vacationing in Palm Coast, Florida, as usual, I was looking for places to catch big largemouth bass. Palm Coast is packed chualk full with fresh water canals.
For me, the location must be accesible from the road 1st, or visible walking distance from the road with access to a canal for "from the bank "fishing.
I found a spot where I could fish from a bridge as well as from the bank on both sides with legal parking along side of the road.
This spot had a good amount of current running underneath of the bridge as well as some depth on the east side of the bridge.
