My 3rd hobie bass open stop on Lake Norman in March. I go through how I broke down the area and found fish, as well as what baits and techniques I used. I ended up fishing up in the river and caught both spotted and largemouth bass!

How big of a ketch board do you use?
I just gotta say you are one hell of a woman. The way you break down the lake, paddling a kayak 15 miles, and the hooksets. Keep on doin ya thing. Actually think i ran into you on the lake a while back. You definitely look familiar. But keep those lines tight.
This is where we fish a winter trail at and beat 4 bassmaster pros to win $6200 and in the river is where we always fish ! There are some giant spots in that lake!
Is that the bridge we fished
Spotted bass on Lake Norman are weird. Sometimes they’re in open water with hybrid stripers and other times they’re in coves with largemouth
Love that hook set.
Hey the hell you set the hook like that your gonna break something
Like I said lake Norman is very heavily fished most of the time instead of jerk setting the hook you want to reel into the hook set on that lake like I said that's where I'm from been fishing that like my whole life there's the information do with it what you want take it or leave it just trying to help out I love your videos I hope you keep making them good luck on your next tournament
You made a good decision lake Norman is where I am from and the main lake around the docks are really heavily fished up where you chose is not very heavily fished so the fish aren't really line shy up there most people in lake Norman stay down in the main lake so you made a good choice
Hello Kristine, I sure enjoy the way you think as you fish. I used to tournament fish with a friend that had a similar grace with his own ego that made it so nice to fish with him. We used to do pretty well and I think it was because we both knew more about how the fish were thinking on a particular day than we cared about what was in style for that season or event. I bet you are fun to compete with. Thank you for your honesty and generous sharing of your talent. : ) George.
Good catching. I damaged a lower unit 20 years ago. Totally scared of the Catawba river. But good fishing 🎣 give you thumbs up 👍 job well done. I am fishing something in 2021 January 2nd out queens landing. Haven’t fish it a year.
I am thinking of heading down to Norman this month. Loved the way you broke this water down. Do you think heading up the river this late in the year would be a good plan of attack or work the main lake arms?
Hey I fish norman also. I live in North Carolina! Love your content lady! Great job💪💪👍
I live on this lake to many damn spotted bass and not a lot of big largemouth
I lived in Charlotte most my life.. fished Norman a few times, beautiful lake… now I'm in S. FLORIDA…. I've got all the bass I can stand
💥M®🔥
I live on lake Norman it’s a hard lake to fish but once you learn their patterns it’s a ton of fun to fish
watching fishing vids cuz I cant go to work because of the lock down and I could only start fishing at the end of April because of all these laws ( rainbow and brown trout only end April…pike in May and bass in June…yaye) Haven't fished since end of October…I'm dying!!!….lol
Thanks for making these videos Kristine! I'm a big fan of yours. Mr. Blanchard can only make so many videos; it's nice to have someone else take us fishing too.
Can we talk about how good she skipped the bait on top of the water
Good video girl!! U put some miles on that kayak!!cant win em all for sure
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome breakdown!
I just got a feelfree lure for tourneys this year and learn!
That hookset though !
So, how did the first two tournaments go?
What net do you use? Looks like just what I need.
Absolute machine!
Your videos are like stories, so awesome . You need your own TV show
Trade places with you even when it’s tough! LOL I am pretty sure the fish will still bite no matter how much people panic. Stay safe, tight lines and God bless!
You definitely know your stuff. You're like the TacticalBassin of the kayak fishing world!
Gees, them hook sets though.I do that in my Cuda 12, I’m going in the water. Lol 😂 Chomping at the bit here, still have three months to wait. Great video
Dang, at least I wasn't the only one missing fish. You did great, glad you came out and fished with us QC knuckleheads along with the Hobie side.
That was “my spot” until Friday night when AJ said no launching from streams or tributaries, that pedal was more than I cared for. Nice job, good seeing you and AJ.
You hold your emotions really well while fishing. Keep fishing hard
