Lake Lanier striper report 5/2/07

Thanks to everyone for being patient while my blog was down. My web master figured it all out so we are back up and running. Thank you Robert!!!!!!
Fishing was up and down over the past 2 weeks. April 20th -27th saw some of the most consistent top water fishing of the year. Fish up to 15lbs eating shad in 2-4' of water. Shad spawn was happening down on the south end for 4 days straight. All I can say is
A-W-E-S-O-M-E! Then for some strange reason they just shut down. The fishing since the 28th has been hit or miss with best bite ocurring from first light until 8:30am and then it just dies. Some HUGE spots being caught on fly. Tommy (my partner) and I broke the line class record for spotted bass 3 times in the past 10 days. We did not turn any in fish for world record purposes as we really want to have a client break this record. On another high note the dock light bite is on in full force. Early evening is better then early morning but fish are definately commited to the lights. Sinking lines along with coyotes, baitfish patterns are working best as well as Clousers and spinsters..........NOTE: water temps are now hitting 70. This is a good thing. See you on the pond. HC

PS.......Tommy McCue is selling his 1995' Nitro center console. Boat is 21 feet and comes w/200 Merc EFI and trailer. Boat looks good and runs extremely well. BOat has only been fished on Lanier (fresh water). He is asking $7900. Great entry level boat for both fly and bait fishing. Contact Tommy @ 770-536-1699. Boat can be seen at Lake Lanier Fishing and Outdoors
