Another tough day, caught 1 LM, water in upper 80's and stained. Any tips for this lake would be appreciated. Question - went on dam side up from bridge - what are those bubbles, I don't fish Normandy much, maybe once or twice a year, but there were these lines of non-stop bubbles reaching the service.

Those bubbles are turtle farts rising to the surface.

It is an aeration system. If your on the lake and look to the left of parking lot you will see the building that houses the compressors. And at the waters edge you can see all the piping coming into the lake.

You can go to google earth and see the bubbles on the surface. I have yet to figure that lake out. I'm going Saturday afternoon/night to fish under the lights for crappie or walleye........ I'm excited about wasting 7 hours catching nothing.

Hey Juice, if you have the stamina and need the exercise, keep a gold 1/4oz spoon in the water about 12 ft deep. The walleye will SOMETIMES be a good bite under the light. If they won't take the spoon, you can use the occasional snagged shad for bait.
Good luck!

Thanks for the tip! I've got some spoons and jigging raps I was going to use along with minnows and night crawlers.

Never know! you may go and sink the boat with marble eyes and slab crappies!

HA!

That trip is cancelled. My grandfather's boat has a running board that broke and he does not want to pull it anywhere until he is ready to swap it out. Mine is not ready to be taken out at night at the moment.
