Hummingbird Hideaway Resort (www.hummingbird-hideaway.com) is going to be at the Tinley Park Fishing Show this coming weekend February 11 & 12, 2012. The show is being held at the Tinley Park High School which is located just south of Chicago, IL. Stop by our booth and talk a little about Norfork Lake fishing and about our resort.

The Stripers are in Their winter Pattern and are 1/2 Way Back In The creeks And Caught on Grubs.  These and some more were caught Monday Morning and join bass and crappie as the best bite on the lake.  Weather is to be cool and below normal temperatures which should keep fishing good for a while.  Level is now stable and the lake in general in very good condition.

This one is a 24-ft. Lowe Boat with a hard top canopy.  Also has 90-HP Mercury and a 24-volt trolling motor .  It has new floor, carpet, seats and is a very good boat.  It rents for $120/day or $485/ Week.  Check out www.blackburnsresort.com 

This group had a good time Fishing Norfork Lake.  They fished right through the Superbowl.  So did I.  They caught a lot of big fish and just left this morning.  It was very cool out but the fish were biting hot.

Norfork Lake winter crappie fishing at its best. It seems like it is spring already and it's only  Febuary. Fish were in 35 - 40 ft. of water insde of the brush. It was difficult fishing because of strong northwest wind. Crappie and bass are currently the best bites on the lake.

It kept getting warmer and warmer as it got dark and then it started lightening in the north.  I fished until it was too dark to see and caught several crappie.  They were biting very slowly and not very agressive.  It rained hard most of the night with over an inch and the creeks are running again with the lake rising.
