Hello Everyone -
Remember gang, continue to use the JIMBO code at LanierMAPPED.com for a 20% Discount on all of our products!! What a great time to purchase main lake clips as well as clips at the mouths of the creeks. The fish are in the off-shore brush now, and the LanierMAPPED.com information is more important than ever. For packages, I still highly recommmend Main Lake North and Main Lake South - focus on the humps with brush and brush piles on points/drops near deep water. LanierMAPPED.com is more important than ever right now - we have those key areas marked with video and that information will put you on the fish. And, better yet, our Pro's Package is available on an IPAD - all the information comes pre-loaded - WOW!!
This week's Lake Lanier Fishing Report is once again brought to you by LanierMAPPED.com - Check out the new "How To" Video on our home page!! Local Professional Angler Eric Aldrich does an excellent job of explaining how to use the LanierMAPPED.com technology to truly improve your fishing. And, as I noted above, now is really the time you need the LanierMAPPED.com information - the fish are pulled out away from the bank on key features off-shore - and we have those features on our videos!!
I had two guide trips this week. I had pleasure of guiding an FLW Pro this week that was in town to prepare for the cup. I gave him a great perspective of the lake and showed him some key areas where they are biting now, as well as where they should be biting in August. We caught our fish on a drop shot - our biggest was over 3 pounds, but he broke one off after a long fight that was most certainly in the 5 pound range. This angler (I will keep his name of the blog out of respect for him) was from the Western division, and he was AMAZING with a drop shot. He is a fantastic guy and an incredible angler - I wish him well in the Cup! I also had the pleasure of taking out a father/son team for a trip later in the week. We had a great time, and found some topwater fish for them, even in the heat. We got fish to come up on a Sammy and a Fluke. We caught our bigger fish on a drop shot, including a spot over 3, and a 5 pound largemouth. Check out my website for pics! jimboonlanier.com For the drop shot fish, worms were the ticket - stay versatile with the colors - the fish will tell you what they want!

Lake Lanier Fishing Report - June 6th - 12th, 2010
Hello Everyone -
My apologies to all for my lengthy absence from this report. My father passed away on May 15th, and as you can imagine, I was unable to get on the water for awhile, and therefore had nothing to report. I am writing this week's report in honor of my father, Alex, who instilled the love of fishing in me at an early age, one of the many things he did for which I will remain forever grateful.
Onto to the fun stuff! This week's Lake Lanier Fishing Report is once again brought to you by LanierMAPPED.com - Check out the new "How To" Video on our home page!! Local Professional Angler Eric Aldrich does an excellent job of explaining how to use the LanierMAPPED.com technology to truly improve your fishing. And now is really the time you need the LanierMAPPED.com information - the fish are pulled out away from the bank on key features off-shore - and we have those features on our videos!!
I was out on the Lake 2 days this week and really caught them. We caught fish on topwater throughout the day - all off of humps and brush piles on the main lake and in the mouth's of major creeks. I have been throwing Zara Spooks, Rico's, and mainly a Gunfish to generate my strikes. A medium to fast retrieve seemed to work best - anything to mimic the blue-herring shad skittering on the surface! I know some other baits are working well now too, but I can't bring myself to put down the topwater plugs when they are eating them so well!
Jimbo's Lake Lanier Guide Service is officially launched and operating - come join us for some fun on the water! Jimbo's Guide Service is powered by LanierMAPPED.com (of course!) - check out my website for all the details and some great pictures jimboonlanier.com
A new CBC Tournament is coming up this weekend!! June 19th out of Little Hall - SL to 3 PM. Come join us - Rich and I will be representing the LanierMAPPED.com team in the event. The last CBC tournament in May was also a great event and the church raised some much-needed funds for their youth ministry. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported this great cause! We look forward to seeing you all back at Little Hall this coming Saturday, June 19th for another awesome event. Registration is $100 per boat in advance, $125 at the ramp.
Remember gang, continue to use the JIMBO code at LanierMAPPED.com for a 20% Discount on all of our products!! What a great time to purchase main lake clips as well as clips at the mouths of the creeks. The topwater action is here and will only get better- be ready and know where those brush-piles are and the magnum spotted bass are hiding! For packages, I still highly recommmend Main Lake North, Main Lake South, and Six Mile Creek right now, along with the Four Mile and Two Mile creek area - you can really catch them off the LanierMAPPED.com spots in those areas for sure. You may want to check out the FREE Demo Clip on our website as well - I seem to recall catching some good fish off that spot recently!!

Lake Lanier Fishing Report May 3 - 8, 2010
Howdy Gang -
This week's Lake Lanier Fishing Report is brought to you by LanierMAPPED.com - great new weigh-in videos are available for viewing on the site - as well as a cool voice-over from O'Neill Outside - he gives a perfect overview - Check it out today! Look for some great new features and "How To Use" sections as explained by our newest team member and local fishing professional, Eric Aldrich. This brand new exciting information will be posted on the site THIS WEEK!!
I was out on the Lake 3 days this week and did great...until the CBC Tournament on Saturday - of course! Wednesday and Thursday were both great days for numbers and size. We caught fish on topwater each morning - my lure of choice was a black and chrome chug bug. I caught fish on 4 consectutive casts at our first stop Thursday morning in Six Mile. I also found a strong Shakey Head bite out on the Main Lake - we caught several solid fish in the 3 lbs to 4 lbs range. My fish have been coming on rocky/clay banks and points both in the creeks and on the main lake. I know that is all about to change as the fish continue moving out post-spawn, but for now, they still seem to be up there good. I also had the pleasure this week of taking a client out on a guide trip. We utlilized the LanierMAPPED.com info and got on fish! Ross had a great time and really caught 'em Wednesday. I have attached some pictures from the trip. The weather was awesome, and we had a great day together! Thanks Ross! I look forward to more guide trips as the topwater bite gets stronger - knowing where those brushpiles are will be key folks!! Drop me a line if you would like to get out!
The CBC Tournament was a great event and the church raised some much-needed funds for their youth ministry. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported this great cause! The highlight of my tournament was spending an hour and a half fishing out my spinning rod that got launched over my bow (thanks to my trolling motor kicking on)as I was trying to measure a fish. The fish was 15 inches, and I got my rod back. Happy ending I guess, but overall I did not adjust as I needed to on the water with the weather change. I caught allot of fish, but their heads were too close to their tails! Next time!!

This brand new exciting information will be posted on the site THIS WEEK!!
My fishing time was limited - I got out Monday and Friday afternoons of this past week. Monday was the best day by far, as I boated several solid fish on a weightless fluke that I fished around shallow docks in Six Mile Creek. They were taking the bait on the fall - in about 3-4 feet of water - fun to watch! I also caught 3 on a Horny Toad frog retrieved through the buck brush and grass on the bank in Six Mile Creek. My Monday trip was limited by dead batteries, so I ended up floating with the wind quite a bit - but still caught fish. Richie Rich and I got out together on Friday afternoon, but the bite was tough. We boated a few fish on a fluke in YD Creek, but that was it. We fished until 10 PM, but the bite did not improve after dark - dissapointing. I heard Saturday was great though!!

Look for some great new features and "How To Use" sections as explained by our newest team member and local fishing professional, Eric Aldrich. Stay tuned!
Fishing this week was great. The spotted bass are active and "junk fishing", as I am sure you have read from many others, is quite appropriate now. I was able to find some good topwater fish this week on a Rico, fished around rock, clay, and sandy areas both in the main lake and in creeks. I believe some of these are spawners, with feeders mixed in. I also caught fish in these same areas on a fish head spin and a scrounger spin, along with a fluke. My best results, however, came on Thursday afternoon, again in these same areas, with a shaky head/green finesse worm combo. I caught several solid fish on this bait with my largest being just under 4 lbs. They were all very shallow (less than 6 feet) and the worm fish all appeared to be pre-spawn. They are quite spunky now with lots of jumping - they really put on a show. My arms were sore on Friday from setting the hook so much!! That's what they call a good pain....

Lake Lanier Fishing Report, April 11-17, 2010
Hello Everyone -
I would like to start this week's report with an exciting announcement regarding LanierMAPPED.com. I am extremely happy to report that Eric Aldrich (AKA EZSpin) has joined the LanierMAPPED.com Pro Staff! We will post an official announcement soon to include a press release, but we are thrilled to have Eric with us. He is an accomplished tournament angler, fishing product representative, and an expert on Lake Lanier - I know his contributions will add a great new dimension to the LanierMAPPED.com product experience!
Onto fishing and this week's Lake Lanier Fishing Report! I was out 3 times this week, and found the bite to be good every day. I was able to find a number of different viable patterns through the week that produced fish - always nice to have options! My strongest pattern seems to remain the slow tapering clay/rock/sandy primary and secondary points/shelves around the lake. Fish on these are shallow and have been coming on flukes, crankbaits, and FHS. As you may know too, there are plenty of spawning fish in the backs of pockets. These spotted bass can be taken on a number of baits to include topwaters such as a Rico. Lots of fun can be had with a Horny Toad frog now as well - buzz it through the grass in the back of the creeks and hang on! You can also fish for the actual bedders you see, but that can be a long process sometimes and not something I usually focus on, but it can be a good tournament strategy. Richie Rich got out with me this week and we had a good day on the water together - his was "gooder" than mine - LOL! He always seems to do better from the back of my boat - maybe next time I will make him drive!
More great news from LanierMAPPED.com - the JIMBO code now gets you a 20% Discount on all of our products!!! 20% !! What a great time to purchase main lake clips as well as clips at the mouths of the creeks. Strong topwater time is just around the corner in a couple of weeks - be ready and know where those brush-piles are and the trophy spotted bass are hiding! For packages, I highly recommmend Main Lake North and Six Mile Creek right now - you just simply can't go wrong!

Report for April 5th-9th, 2010
Well anglers, Lake Lanier Fishing remains hot!! Great week - fish were on! Caught some short fish on a jerkbait this week, as well as some shaky head fish back in the pockets. The real action this week for me came on the main-lake with a FHS and a crankbait - caught some good fish - biggest was right at 5 pounds - check out the pics!! Still working shallow/slow-tapering rock/clay points with the FHS - slow rolling seems to work best for me - same with the crank - slow.
My partner Rich and I were at the BFL weigh-in today (Saturday) at Laurel Park and filmed the event. Look for the video to be posted on our site later this week. We had some great specials on our products - some of you guys missed out! You will always get your best buy at our weigh-ins and shows - look for our tent and come say hello next time! Remember, you can always purchase our videos of fishing holes online and make sure to use the JIMBO code when you purchase from our website, and receive a 5% discount on everything you buy!
With the spawn in progress, the topwater action on Lake Lanier is right around the corner - those spotted bass will be chewing on topwater soon! Our videos and GPS Waypoints show some great timber, brush piles, and humps. Now is the time to purchase this information and get ready for the big top-water bite - you don't want to miss this action! Your best buy is to purchase a section of the lake, or a creek - the price per clip goes as low $3 each - compared to $11.95 for individual clips. Pick a creek you want to fish, purchase the information (including an SD Card with the Waypoints for all packages) and go catch them! Good purchases right now would be our Main Lake North and Main Lake South packages - you will find these productive through post-spawn and into the summer. Also, our clips from the mouths of creeks all over the lake can really help as well - use our new and improved clip index tool to pick out the best clips! This Lake Lanier Fishin Report is brought to you by LanierMAPPED.com!
Until next time - tight lines everybody!
