Ready to reel in some monster bass? Norman Lee Fishing's weekend charter on Lake is your ticket to landing some serious lunkers. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, this 4-hour trip puts you right where the action is. You'll be cruising in style on a top-of-the-line Triton bass boat, hitting all the sweet spots where largemouth and smallmouth bass love to hang out. With an expert guide at the helm, you're in for a day of non-stop fishing excitement.
From the moment you step aboard, you're in for a treat. Your captain knows Lake like the back of their hand, and they're ready to share all their secret honey holes. You'll zip across the water to prime fishing locations, learning the lay of the land (or should we say, water) as you go. The boat's decked out with all the gear you need, so you can focus on what matters - hauling in those bass. Whether you're a fan of casting, jigging, or trying out some new techniques, your guide's got you covered with tips and tricks to up your game.
On this trip, you'll get hands-on experience with top-notch fishing gear. We're talking about sensitive rods that let you feel every nibble, reels that'll help you win the fight against even the most stubborn bass, and a variety of lures that'll make those fish go crazy. Your guide will show you how to work different baits, read the water, and present your offering just right to entice those big bass. You might try flipping jigs under overhanging trees, walking topwater lures across calm coves, or dragging a worm along rocky points. It's all about adapting to what the fish want on any given day.
Largemouth Bass: These bruisers are the kings of the lake, known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic jumps. They love to hang out near structure - think fallen trees, weed beds, and dock pilings. In the warmer months, you might find them in shallow water, but they'll move deeper as temperatures cool. A 5-pounder will give you a run for your money, and there's always the chance of hooking into a true trophy bass pushing 10 pounds or more. The thrill of watching a big largemouth explode on a topwater lure is something you'll never forget.
Smallmouth Bass: Don't let their size fool you - pound for pound, smallies are some of the hardest fighting fish in freshwater. These bronze beauties prefer cooler, clearer water and rocky habitats. They're known for their incredible stamina, often making multiple runs and leaps before coming to the net. Smallmouth bass tend to school up, so when you find one, you've likely found a bunch. They're suckers for tube jigs, drop shot rigs, and small crankbaits. Landing a 4-pound smallie is a real achievement, and you'll quickly understand why they're called "bronzebacks" when you see one gleaming in the sunlight.
There's something special about bass fishing on Lake that keeps folks coming back for more. Maybe it's the heart-stopping moment when a big bass slams your lure. Or the peaceful early morning mist rising off the water as you cast your first line of the day. It could be the camaraderie of sharing fishing stories with your guide and fellow anglers. Whatever it is, this trip has a way of hooking people just as surely as they hook fish. The combination of top-notch equipment, expert guidance, and the lake's bountiful bass population makes for an experience that's hard to beat.

Book now, and get ready to tell your own "big fish" story - because on Lake, those stories have a way of coming true.
Largemouth bass are the heavy hitters of our lake, often reaching 5-8 pounds with some real lunkers pushing 10+. These green-backed ambush predators love to hang out in weedy areas, near fallen trees, or along drop-offs. They're less picky about water clarity than smallmouth. Spring and fall, you'll find them in shallower water; summer, they head deeper to cool off. Largemouth are famous for their explosive strikes and powerful runs. They'll test your gear and your skills, especially around cover. Anglers love 'em for their size and the challenge of outwitting these wary predators. They're decent eating too, though many folks prefer to catch and release the big ones. Want a local tip? Try a weedless frog lure over lily pads in the early morning. That surface explosion when a big bass hits is something you won't forget. Just be ready to set the hook hard - these fish have tough mouths.

Smallmouth bass are tough fighters that'll give you a run for your money. These bronze beauties average 2-4 pounds but can hit 6+ in our lake. Look for them around rocky areas, drop-offs, and submerged logs. They prefer cooler, clearer water than their largemouth cousins. Spring and fall are prime times when they're in shallower water. Summer, they go deep to stay cool. Early mornings or evenings are your best bet. Smallies are known for their acrobatic leaps and hard-pulling fights - pound for pound, they're one of the strongest freshwater fish. They're also great eating if you're looking to keep a few. My go-to trick? Try a tube jig bounced along the bottom near rocky points. Mimic a crawfish and you'll be in business. Just remember, these fish have keen eyesight, so use light line and natural colors in clear water.
