LAKE LANIER IS FULL, THE CREEKS ARE SLIGHTLY STAINED AND THE MAIN LAKE IS CLEAR & 62 DEGREES.
Bass fishing good lake wide and the fish are on points, around docks and in the backs of all the coves and creeks. Early use the Flukes and trick worms as the early bite starts on anything in the water in the shallows. Wood, rocks, and docks have fish all around them and casting shallow is the best bet. Start the day with almost any color of Zoom’s trick worm. Skip or cast the bait past the cover and pull the lure and let it drop right into the cover. Depths can vary from 5 to 12 feet and the Enticer spinner baits in the 3/8 ounce size with silver and gold blades in either the willow leaf or Colorado combinations has been working. Slow roll these baits on and over points and any wood all day. With the water temperatures warming, presentations can be faster. The bass are shallow and spawning this week all over the lake. Up lake in the rivers and up lake creeks, jig and pig in reds and black combos along with the Uncle Josh matching trailers worked on points and around docks will draw strikes for bass. It’s been better to fish these lures in the same location for a few casts and this can make the better fish strike the lures. Zoom’s pumpkinseed lizard on a Texas rig has been good for these bass in the same locations. The suspending Rouge in almost any color has been catching a lot of shallow bass on and around any cover in the creeks. Docks and wood are key areas. Try some extra scent on these lures and make several casts into the same location.
