The heavy rain we've been enjoying here in Georgia is filling up Lake Lanier. We just breached 1059 and I'm pretty sure we'll break 1060 in the next day or two. We haven't had this much water in almost 2 years so it appears we're headed in the right direction water wise. Unfortunately, all this rain will make the fishing tough for a short while. We were just getting into a good solid night bite pattern. Though we haven't had any "killer" nights on the lake, we have managed a consistent bite pattern with some decent sized fish being landed. I expect this pattern to pick up in the next week again and last through mid April. But at some point real soon these fish will get into their spring run and when this happens, they seem to disappear for a few weeks. We usually start catching them in May again and then the summer pattern starts to set up. Can't wait!
