April is a great month for casting here on Lanier. bucktail tipped with a Berkley Jerk Shad casting to the bank. One day the Surge Shad will be best, and another day the Cane Walker will be best. Pick up a selection of other topwater wake baits like the Berkley Surge Shad and walking baits like the Berkley Cane Walker, and you are good to go. Trilene Big Game on a Fenwick 7-foot medium spinning rod. Personally, I like the Penn Conflict 3000 spooled with 10-lb. Trilene Big Game or Trilene 100% Fluorocarbon on a 7-foot medium-action Penn combo. Be sure to throw the smaller 95 size on 10-lb. The most popular sizes being the 95 and 125. If you prefer to use artificials, be sure to pick up some Sebile Magic Swimmer swimbaits in white linear and ayu in several sizes. Pick up a set of Water Bugz Planer Boards and some live herring, and you are good to go for the day. Trilene 100% Fluorocarbon and a Gamakatsu 1/0 octopus hook. Tie on a Spro Power Swivel and a 5-foot section of 15-lb. On the end of the line, you will need a fluorocarbon leader. Spool the Penn Fathom II Linecounter with 15-lb. The best setup is a Shakespeare striper rod paired with a Penn Fathom II Linecounter reel. In the past five years, the electronics have progressed immensely.
On the Humminbird Side Imaging, you can see the fish on each side of the boat. Be sure to use your electronics to spot the fish in these areas. The key pattern will be to pull the banks and points with freelines and boards mostly on the north end of the lake.
The result is some great catching on Lanier. Since the stripers will be on the move, they will need to eat. The stripers will move up both rivers, spawn and work their way back down to the main lake. Lanier – More Stripers ( This report courtesy of guide and GON contributor Clay Cunningham): “April is looking good here on Lanier. These scrappy fighters tend to run with the pack, so when you catch one there are likely to be others in the same spot. Small jigs worked with a steady retrieve in pools and the mouth of feeder creeks are good ways to catch white bass. White bass are in full-spawning mode right now. Live herring or soft plastic swim baits worked in pools and behind downed trees are good ways to entice a strike. Lake Lanier Linesides ( courtesy of WRD Fisheries Biologist Hunter Roop) - Lanier Striped Bass & Lanier White Bass This week’s rainfall should raise water temperatures in the headwaters of Lake Lanier and draw in stripers like a magnet. So, why not “pay-it-forward” this week? The fish are biting, and here are some pointers to tip the odds for success in your favor. So, what are you doing to “pay-it-forward”? From the swamps, rivers, and bayous of South Georgia to the reservoirs and farm ponds across the piedmont to the trout streams flowing across the mountains, there is a fishing adventure waiting for you. Although throwing sticks into the water was his favorite part of the outing, I hope these early memories will stay with him. Now, I’m trying to “pay-it-forward” with my grandson and catching small bluegills this week was fun for both of us. As a little kid, catching 6-inch bluegills with her was a blast, and it got me hooked on fishing for the rest of my life. That’s what my grandmother did for me more than a half-century ago when she took me fishing at the local bream pond. The term “pay-it-forward” is a simple reminder to invest in the next generation. What I am really trying to say is.Anthony Rabern is “paying it forward” by bream fishing with his grandson. A group of strangers collaborating as if they had been friends for years.Īnd now I am like that guy I met at the ramp. And as soon as I was ready.more splashes! And on the first cast.I landed a 12 pounder as I watched the other two boats landing fish. Wow I was embarrassed but picked myself up with the fastest retie in history including a new leader. So I threw at it but my lure snapped off my line due to a tangle from travel and my adrenaline filled haste. So I turned off my big motor, dropped my TM and about got on plane to get over there.
#WATER BUGZ PLANER BOARDS HOW TO#
As I slowly went past, one guy hollered at me with that "I know how to fish" country voice.he said "Hey man.their breaking right over e on and get ya one!" And as I slow motored under the bridge I saw what I thought were two bass fishermen. My heart was was calm, the morning was crisp. The next weekend my ass was up at 2am and I arrived at the ramp and was in the water just as light was showing.
I told him I wasn't but asked him where is good this time of year? He said."tressle to tressle!“
#WATER BUGZ PLANER BOARDS CRACK#
Crack addict like with a side of country hospitality. "Are you going fishing?" He said it with a wild look in his eye. On my very first trip here.I put my boat in at Hardy with my wife and kid and a guy at the ramp said. Then I came to SML where an 11 pounder has become a decent fish. My largest ever before late October was 11.
