LAKE
LANIER FISHING REPORT FROM
Bass fishing ain't easy right now and 10
pounds didn't even get first
place on Monday night. Friday we
had a 40 fish day. Monday we had
like 15 fish and Tuesday and
Thursday we caught just a few.
Big fish this week was a 4.3
pound largemouth caught this
morning along with 2 halfway
decent spots to go with it. I
believe the spots are getting
off the beds and are now in that
lull time between the end of the
spawn and post spawn. They are
now recovering from the spawn.
This lull time usually lasts a
week sometimes a week and a
half. Once this gets over with
the post spawn schooling will
take over and they will start
chasing again. Right now the
best bet is a early top water
bite on the points. I'm rotating
between a buzz bait, Sammy 100
and a G Splash (Pop R type
bait). After the top water bite
I'm doing the run and shoot
offense in full speed. My foot
never leaves the get gone button
on my 82 pound thrust Motor
Guide trolling motor on full
speed. Sooner or later you will
run into fish by putting
yourself in high percentage
areas. I am seeing some
schooling but you have to be
quick and match the hatch pretty
darn good. I'm using a G Splash
Pop R and a Pointer 78 for the
brief schoolers that I am
seeing. Next week I hope things
will get back to normal for our
awesome post spawn bite. Lines sides fishing is fair and will only get better. The spawn is all most over and the fish are coming back down out of the rivers to feed. And they should be grouping up soon. There are fish from the mouth of the Etowah River and as far south as Allatoona Creek. All of your major creeks have fish in them right now. If you find the baitfish, you'll find stripers and hybrids nearby. Flat-lines in the morning and afternoon and down lines mid day is the way to go. Trolling is working really well right now. The Mack Farr 3 arm umbrella rig has been producing best for me right now. Color doesn't seem to matter, but speed is a factor. The best speed for me this week has been between 3.3- 3.5 miles per hour. Remember the month of May is one of the best months for line-side fishing. We still have a few days open this month and we’re offering family trips starting at $225.00 just for mentioning BassFeed.com when you make your reservation. Come on mom and dad – let’s take the kids fishing!
