LAKE NORFORK Fishing is excellent for stripers, hybrids, largemouth bass and white bass. Crappie fishing is good over brush piles. Stripers are hitting at about 30 feet on shad, shiners and spoons, and also umbrella rigs with swimbaits from Fout Marina to Cranfield Island, Howard Cove past Blue Lady, and the Fout area. Stripers tend to congregate near and in the four corners area of 5A. The best way to catch them is with live shad or shiners on downlines about 2 feet off the bottom.
