Bass are transitioning to the summer pattern. Best to fish main lake points. This is difficult on the weekend, due to the excessive boat traffic.

Lake Lanier (officially Lake Sidney Lanier) is a reservoir in the northern portion of the U.S. state of Georgia. It was created by the completion of Buford Dam on the Chattahoochee River in 1956, and is also fed by the waters of the Chestatee River. The lake encompasses 38,000 acres (150 km2) of water, and 692 miles (1,114 km) of shoreline at normal level, a "full summer pool" of 1,071 feet (326 m) above mean sea level. It was named for poet Sidney Lanier, and was built and is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It is patrolled by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GDNR).

It is more than full. I can't remember the last time I saw it this full.

And of course the corp will probably do it again, letting too much water out. You know the gov, always finding ways to screw things up! Now Florida can't ***** that they aren't getting enough water for their oysters & clams. The oil will kill them, not the lack of water.:eek:
