Crappie Fishing in Lake Norman

Lake Norman Crappie fishing is one of those things that just shouldn’t be ignored, especially if you’re an avid freshwater angler. North Carolina has a varied fishing landscape and there’s something for everyone, but one thing’s certain – Lake Norman is one of the more prominent fisheries in the state. Here, Crappies are abundant and always hungry, a combo that’s also known as a recipe for success.
 

What to Expect

One of the best things about chasing Crappie around the lake is that it’s an exciting experience for the whole family. Kids love catching them as much as grownups and there’s plenty of fish to go around.
 
For many locals, this is a favorite species to target because it guarantees a delicious meal as soon as they get home. What’s more, there are so many Crappie out there, that during the most productive time of year you can easily catch your limit of 20 fish per person.
 
The best time to chase them is actually during the night, because they’re night feeders. If you don’t mind fishing after midnight with the help of special LED lanterns, you’ll experience the best Crappie action you can find. When you find one fish, chances are the rest of the school is nearby.
 
Crappies are not fans of heat, so they’ll hide in plenty of shade during hot summers. Your captain will probably take you to fish for them around bridge pilings, docks, and underwater structures. Some innovative fishermen even throw Christmas trees into the lake during the winter to attract Crappies looking for cover. Fishermen’s ingenuity knows no limits!
 

What to Bring

If you’re looking for a guide to take you out, fishing charters depart from Cornelius, Mooresville, Statesville, and Sherrills Ford. Captains usually provide the gear, boat, and everything fishing-related. Get a fishing license before you come aboard, and stock up on food and drinks, especially if you’re going on 6 or 8-hour trips.

We had a group of five. Adults and teens. Not avid fishermen. Justin gave us a great time and we caught Crappie, Hybrids and Stripers. Great family outing. Highly recommend!

One of the best charters we’ve ever taken
5/5
This was seriously one of the top charters our family has taken. Captain Jeff put us on the fish and we caught a ton of spotted bass and catfish. We also highly recommend this charter for families with kids that love to fish - Jeff was great with our almost 12 year old who is fishing obsessed.

Even in the dead of summer, mid-day with the sun beaming down, Captain Justin knew all the best spots. We ended up catching 25+ fish and really enjoyed chatting with Justin throughout the day. He’s super knowledgeable and friendly - highly recommended!
