Catfishing Lake Norman on 07-19-2026.

I fished Lake Norman this morning from 1:00am till 9:30am and I caught and released 21 blue catfish. The biggest were 19-25lbs and the rest were 6-15lbs. The bite was dead all through the night until 4:30am then they fired up. Most fish were caught off chicken with a few off gizzard shad, few off threadfin shad on bait rods, and only one came off cut white perch. Only a few came off suspended planer boards and down rods, most of them came off redi rig floats out the back suspended around 30-40 feet.

The suspended bite has picked up on Lake Norman. I fished Saturday night into Sunday morning and I caught 32 catfish. Nothing big but the 3 biggest were 23, 21, and 20lb blue catfish, alot high teens 15-18, then rest 1-13lb blues with a few channel catfish. Bait was cut white perch, plain chicken breast, and 4 hit bait rod with red worms on it which was fun catching 10-11lbers on. The bite was slow through the night but picked up at sunrise and lasted into the day. Depths were suspended 20-40 feet in deep water. As always all fish were released and full video of the trip will be on my YouTube Channel later on.

The Lake Norman suspended bite is finally here! It is still not quite in full swing yet though. The overall bite all night into morning was still pretty slow, I only caught 11 catfish but they were lot better quality than recent trips. Big fish was 40lbs and 26lbs, then alot of high teeners 15-19lbs, and few small blues. I was using mussels, chicken, and white perch for bait. White perch fillets were the preferred bait then the heads. Only caught 2 off chicken and 0 off mussels. All but one fish were caught suspended in the water column except for one small one in the only anchor I did. Most fish came off planer board rods suspended only a few were on down rods.
