LITTLE MAUMELLE RIVER Crappie are biting minnows or jigs. Bass fishing is fair on spinnerbaits and plastic worms at dawn and dusk. Catfishing is excellent with worms and stink baits on trotlines.

LAKE NORFOLK Striped bass fishing is very good. The best artificial method has been jigging spoons vertically. Trolling has been effective with large swimbaits or an umbrella rig with the large swimbaits. Threadfin shad, gizzard shad and large shiners have also been effective at 40-70 feet and 45-100 feet on the main lake as well as in some of the creeks. Channel swings where the water drops off to 80-plus feet very close to shore are excellent areas. The best fishing is from the U.S. 62 bridge to Hudson Point.
