Hello Fellow Anglers -
This week's Lake Lanier Fishing Report is brought to you by LanierMAPPED.com - great new weigh-in videos are available for viewing on the site - as well as a cool voice-over from O'Neill Outside - fun stuff! Look for some great new features and "How To Use" sections as explained by our newest team member and local fishing professional, Eric Aldrich. Stay tuned!
Fishing this week was great. The spotted bass are active and "junk fishing", as I am sure you have read from many others, is quite appropriate now. I was able to find some good topwater fish this week on a Rico, fished around rock, clay, and sandy areas both in the main lake and in creeks. I believe some of these are spawners, with feeders mixed in. I also caught fish in these same areas on a fish head spin and a scrounger spin, along with a fluke. My best results, however, came on Thursday afternoon, again in these same areas, with a shaky head/green finesse worm combo. I caught several solid fish on this bait with my largest being just under 4 lbs. They were all very shallow (less than 6 feet) and the worm fish all appeared to be pre-spawn. They are quite spunky now with lots of jumping - they really put on a show. My arms were sore on Friday from setting the hook so much!! That's what they call a good pain....
Remember gang, use the JIMBO code at LanierMAPPED.com for a 20% Discount on all of our products!! What a great time to purchase main lake clips as well as clips at the mouths of the creeks. The topwater action is here and will only get better- be ready and know where those brush-piles are and the magnum spotted bass are hiding! For packages, I highly recommmend Main Lake North and Six Mile Creek right now, along with the Four Mile area - you will get bit!
Another big Welcome to LanierMAPPED.com Pro Staff Member Eric Aldrich!! Until next time everybody - tight lines!!

Lake Lanier Fishing Report, April 11-17, 2010
Hello Everyone -
I would like to start this week's report with an exciting announcement regarding LanierMAPPED.com. I am extremely happy to report that Eric Aldrich (AKA EZSpin) has joined the LanierMAPPED.com Pro Staff! We will post an official announcement soon to include a press release, but we are thrilled to have Eric with us. He is an accomplished tournament angler, fishing product representative, and an expert on Lake Lanier - I know his contributions will add a great new dimension to the LanierMAPPED.com product experience!
Onto fishing and this week's Lake Lanier Fishing Report! I was out 3 times this week, and found the bite to be good every day. I was able to find a number of different viable patterns through the week that produced fish - always nice to have options! My strongest pattern seems to remain the slow tapering clay/rock/sandy primary and secondary points/shelves around the lake. Fish on these are shallow and have been coming on flukes, crankbaits, and FHS. As you may know too, there are plenty of spawning fish in the backs of pockets. These spotted bass can be taken on a number of baits to include topwaters such as a Rico. Lots of fun can be had with a Horny Toad frog now as well - buzz it through the grass in the back of the creeks and hang on! You can also fish for the actual bedders you see, but that can be a long process sometimes and not something I usually focus on, but it can be a good tournament strategy. Richie Rich got out with me this week and we had a good day on the water together - his was "gooder" than mine - LOL! He always seems to do better from the back of my boat - maybe next time I will make him drive!
More great news from LanierMAPPED.com - the JIMBO code now gets you a 20% Discount on all of our products!!! 20% !! What a great time to purchase main lake clips as well as clips at the mouths of the creeks. Strong topwater time is just around the corner in a couple of weeks - be ready and know where those brush-piles are and the trophy spotted bass are hiding! For packages, I highly recommmend Main Lake North and Six Mile Creek right now - you just simply can't go wrong!

Report for April 5th-9th, 2010
Well anglers, Lake Lanier Fishing remains hot!! Great week - fish were on! Caught some short fish on a jerkbait this week, as well as some shaky head fish back in the pockets. The real action this week for me came on the main-lake with a FHS and a crankbait - caught some good fish - biggest was right at 5 pounds - check out the pics!! Still working shallow/slow-tapering rock/clay points with the FHS - slow rolling seems to work best for me - same with the crank - slow.
My partner Rich and I were at the BFL weigh-in today (Saturday) at Laurel Park and filmed the event. Look for the video to be posted on our site later this week. We had some great specials on our products - some of you guys missed out! You will always get your best buy at our weigh-ins and shows - look for our tent and come say hello next time! Remember, you can always purchase our videos of fishing holes online and make sure to use the JIMBO code when you purchase from our website, and receive a 5% discount on everything you buy!
With the spawn in progress, the topwater action on Lake Lanier is right around the corner - those spotted bass will be chewing on topwater soon! Our videos and GPS Waypoints show some great timber, brush piles, and humps. Now is the time to purchase this information and get ready for the big top-water bite - you don't want to miss this action! Your best buy is to purchase a section of the lake, or a creek - the price per clip goes as low $3 each - compared to $11.95 for individual clips. Pick a creek you want to fish, purchase the information (including an SD Card with the Waypoints for all packages) and go catch them! Good purchases right now would be our Main Lake North and Main Lake South packages - you will find these productive through post-spawn and into the summer. Also, our clips from the mouths of creeks all over the lake can really help as well - use our new and improved clip index tool to pick out the best clips! This Lake Lanier Fishin Report is brought to you by LanierMAPPED.com!
Until next time - tight lines everybody!
