LAKE
LANIER IS
.37 INCHES OVER FULL, AND CREEKS ARE STAINED AND THE MAIN LAKE
IS CLEAR AND 64 DEGREES.
Now
you can see samples of the new Lowrance Structure Scan Down Scan
product taken recently on Lake Lanier. http://www.havefunfishing.com/fishingreports/Lowrance.htm
Bass fishing is fair and there are a few fish popping up from time
to time. Keep a Pop R or a Zara Spook ready and hit the swirl.
With the past full moon, there are tons of tine dime and nickel
sized baits in the lake. So try small bucktail and 6 pound test
line on a spinning reel and use a small ½ ounce buck tail
Drop shot rigs are still working but this bite is tough if the
wind is up. The fish are very scattered after the full moon. Fish
main lake reef markers and long points for the spots. If the wind
is up, make long casts with the all white ¾ ounce Mini Me
Spinner bait. Also try the Sebile Swimmers in all white and Ito
Vision One Ten jerk baits. Run these baits from 5 to 20 feet deep
and fish “with” the wind. The fish are still on the
move and can be found in on variety of structures and at several
depths. The brush pile is hard to beat and may be the most consistent
structure. Concentrate on main lake brush, around 25 feet deep.
Green and green pumpkin has been good as well, as the sand. These
colors work best when the sun is out any color with green in it.
We use a light 3/16 ounce sinker on 10 pound test P line on a spinning
reel and a six and a half foot medium heavy BPS Extreme rod. Do
not forget to try doodling on and over the brush piles too. There
are some big spots taking Sebile Swimmers, Super Spooks, Red Fins,
Chug Bugs and weightless flukes.
Striper fishing has been slow down lake but the rivers are a lot
more active. The trolling bite is gone down lake as the fish seem
to have gone super deep or they are all head to both rivers. From
Gainesville Marina north on the Chattachoochee River and from Thompson
Creek north up the Cheastee River stripers are feeding on large
trout and large gizzard shad. Gizzards have been hard to net with
the weeds and shallow cover makes cast netting almost impossible.
Get the flat lines and planer boards out and hit the main river
pockets and coves early in the day. Use different sizes of baits
from small shiners to large trout. Use the correct sizes of hooks
for all the various sizes of baits as to not over power the baits
with to larger a hook. There are a few fish shallow after dark
down lake but you will need to cover a lot of water with Bombers
to get bit.
