A rare LM for Lanier mid lake
Weather patterns and water clarity are key factors for anglers on this massive impoundment. Stripers, spotted bass and Crappie top the list of this incredibly diverse fishery. Largemouth, catfish and Walleye are also present.
Caught 3 stripers before day night around dock lights, then this one around 12lb just at daybreak. My biggest strip so far on artificial. My bite is heating up!
Been while since posted. Out early yesterday (before the crazies for the holiday weekend hit) on Lanier for some topwater schoolers. This one hit my gunfish 3x before ...more finally hooked up. Brought a wolfpack of 5-6 others with him. Nothing better as topwater as you know. Spybait also killer if not busting on top. Hope all have great 4th !!
Very slow day until I found back of pocket where schooled up. Game on!! Caught 6 spots on fluke, spybait, streakZ in last hr. Two went between 4-5lb.
So I put a little swivel, 3.5' leader, little #4 circle hook on my drop shot rod/reel with 8# flouro ... Add a blue back herring...
Good Times and Careful ...more Reelin' I tell ya !!!
