Hello Everyone -
I would like to begin this week's report by sharing some exciting news - I have added another sponsor to Jimbo's Lake Lanier Guide Service! I am excited to report that I am now a pro-staff member for Slongs Fishing Lures. Slongs is a family based business in Kentucky, and I look forward to helping them promote their awesome shaky heads and spinnerbaits to the Georgia/Alabama area. Sean and Chris are just awesome people and I look forward to working with them, and am proud to be a member of their staff! More to come in the future on these great lures and how I use them to catch giant spots on Lanier!
FISHING REPORT:
Fishing has been great the past few days. I have been on an excellent big fish pattern. The bites are limited, but the quality is awesome! I have caught several fish in the 5 lbs class on this pattern, and I expect it to hold for at least the next week based on the weather forecast.
I have been working jerkbaits on shallow rock for my big bites. I have been alternating between slow-rolling these jerbaits and a jerk, jerk, pause retrieve. The fish are on rock points in the creeks as well as some main-lake areas. We have also been catching fish on Kick Bass Jigs with Wackem Jig Trailers in 20-30 feet of water. The Kick Bass Jigs and the Wackem Trailers make an awesome combination - check out the websites - I have hotlinked them for your convenience - just click and view! For the jig bites, rock is also the key - look for steeper rock points for the best success.
I recommend everyone check out the LanierMAPPED.com site ASAP - there are lots of recent changes that I am sure you will be interested in!! And remember gang, use the JIMBO Code at LanierMAPPED.com for a 20% discount on all clips you purchase.
I am still booking for December - I will be around during the holidays and would love to get out on the lake with you - call me TODAY at 770-542-7764 to book your trip!!
Until next time everybody - tight lines!!

Lake Lanier Fishing Report: Nov 19 - Dec 5, 2010
FISHING REPORT:
Hello Everyone -
Fishing has remained good at the end of November and into the first part of December. The water stained up during this period due to the recent rains, particularly in certain creeks. The lower main lake has remained clear, and the water temperature has fallen from nearly 60 down to right around the 50 mark. The water level has hung around 1068, which is 3 feet below full pool. During this time, I have been targeting fish from 5 feet to 25 feet of water.
For the deeper fish, I have been using the shaky head/green worm combo as well as a drop-shot. My bait of choice for the drop-shot has been a sunrise pearl sissy worm from Wackem - this is really a great bait, especially when the sun is out. When it is cloudy, I have been using a variety of green-pumpkin combos to get bit. I have been catching some on a spoon as well, but I have not focused on the spoon due to the availability of good fish in shallower water.
For my shallower fish, I have also been using a green shaky head/worm combo for most of my bites. I have been targeting shallow creek channels for these fish. I have also caught a few on flukes and jerk-baits as well in these areas - it just depends on the mood of the fish. Remember, the cloudy days will cause them to become spread out, and search baits should work best - throw Fish-Head Spins or small crank-baits to catch fish in the backs of pockets.
