Go with what you know

Two-time Bassmaster Classic Champ Hank Cherry said Lake Norman is just like any other impoundment in the country, so those who excel on their home lakes shouldn’t make this event more difficult than it has to be. 

“Whatever you do in an impoundment like this, you can go out and do it here,” Cherry said. “If you like to skip jigs, you’re going to get five bites a day. If you like to fish Topwater, you’ll get five bites a day. 

“You just have to do it all day.”
