This past week the fishing has really changed on Lanier. With the temps dropping below 75 degrees on the surface, the fish are on the prowl. I’ve had some tough days with only 1-3 fish boated. I’m still finding schools of fish up top on the southend and no doubt these are bigger fish. On Wednesday the 13th I was out and the lake was like glass with warm temps, bright sunshine and no wind. Fishing was tough. I stopped at cocktail cove for a moment to send a text and a large school surfaced yielding this fat 11 lber:
Fishing continues to be strong on Lanier with lots of fish boated this week on the southside. The water quality is awesome and the cooler temps up top is bringing the fish to the surface most every day. It also allows the fish free roam throughout the water column and no doubt they’re taking full advantage. The good news is I expect this pattern to hold another 2-3 weeks and though the fish will move to shallow water again when on the prowl, they should continue to be catchable.
