Cool MJ.
Lake norman is a big deep lake. The striper fishing is improving there but still its a quanity vs. quality striper lake for the most part. You catch the 5 - 8 lbers mostly. If I remember correctly they introduced threadfin shad there a few years ago and it is helping the fishery somewhat. There are blue catfish, spotted and largemouth bass, crappie and bream in addition to the stripers.
I always had fun when we fished there and we never got skunked in our 3 - 4 trips. We used rainbow trout for bait which you can buy at the local tackle shops. They are expensive but make great baits.
When I get my bait tank fixed up and a little more experience fishing with shad you'll have to come down and fish with us!
