<description><![CDATA[October's north winds signal the beginning of the fall fishing season. It's a great time to combine fishing and cruising. Autumn on Lake Norman is highlighted with clear blue skies, a crispness in the air and trees that proudly show their reds, yellows, browns and earth tone colors. The color change is both interesting and beautiful. Color changes will first be noticed at the lake's upper end and will slowly move south toward Cowan's Ford Dam.

<description><![CDATA[Fishermen are sometimes known to speak in tongues of their own. They often say things to keep others off track about where the fish are biting, how they are being caught, and then brag about the one that got away.
