Mark Lancaster, Director at Huge of the Lake Norman Wildlife Conservationists reviews that the new rock reefs are a good results. Fishermen concur. They are finding a selection of fish previously mentioned and all around the tons of boulders placed in two locations on Lake Norman previously this 12 months. Spotted bass, white perch and catfish are feeding on the bait fish that have manufactured the rock piles their property. In accordance to Mark, Plans are being made to generate two extra rock reefs in 2012. Although the exact locations are even now under research, placements in Reed and Stumpy Creeks are getting given severe thought. In addition, a third spherical of deep drinking water fish attractors will be deployed in the spring of 2012.
Jake Bussolini, writer of a number of textbooks that examine the finites of Lake Norman fishing, and an avid supporter of the reef and attractor tasks, stated at a modern seminar I observed large fish swimming all around the deep h2o attractors inside of an hour of the deployment. More than time, algae attaches to the attractors and leads to baitfish to assemble, which in flip, draws more and far more video game fish. Due to the fact of the strategic placement on fish migration routes, fish that are caught and kept are speedily replaced by other people.
The GPS coordinates for the artifical reef positioned south of the Freeway 150 Bridge are
N35 31.843/W80 56.337 and the other, positioned above the bridge, are N35 36.844/W80 56.622. Maps and exact GPS coordinates for the 20 deep h2o fish attractors, together with added information about the reefs, can found at http://lakenormanwildlife.org/Jobs.htm.
