Hello Everyone -
I am excited this week to welcome a new sponsor to Jimbo's Spotted Bass Guide Service - Denali Custom Fishing Rods ! I am proud to be a Denali Pro Staff member, and look forward to working with Scott Estes and the team at Denali to help promote these fantastic rods. I really love my Denalis, and I am very excited to try their brand new Noirwood Series. More to come on this as I will be meeting with Scott next week at the Cup - I will provide all of you the detailed information in my next report!
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 strongly recommend one of our Semi-Pro pacakages - this is a great value - you get approximately 250 videos and waypoints with each Semi-Pro package, and you can pick the section of the lake you want - Uppper, Mid-lake, or Lower end. 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!!
Fishing Report: The topwater and swimbait bite remains strong on Lanier. When the fish are active, they will eat these baits very well. The chrome Super Spook continues to be key for topwater fish - and I have found that fish we have caught on top are the better fish by far. A good strategy right now to accumulate weight during sunny days is to run and gun the brush with top water - the good fish are there, and they will eat. While the sun is still a plus, the morning bite seems to be improving as well. Make sure to check the Buford Dam Generation Schedules by calling 770-945-1466. The fish bite better in the current. Both the "old" and "new" brush are producing for me. Not every hole produces, but it doesn't take long to figure out if they are active when you stop - your first 2 or 3 casts to the right spot will tell the story. The drop shot is still working as well, but the size of the fish has not been as good as in week's past. The pink Roboworm as well as the pumpkin green/watermellon-red colors have been my choices. As far as recent hotspots on the lake, I would highly suggest the brush in front of the navigation bouy near Clip 394, as well as the brush noted in Clip 44 and Clip 58. Call me to book a trip and catch some hot top water action! I still have dates open, so call me at 770-542-7764 to book a trip.

Fishing Report: Things have been changing on the water the past few days. The mid-day topwater bite has came back strong - which is great to see! Also, fish are feeding shallower than in the past few weeks. I am consistently catching fish in the 15-25 foot depths when the sun is out and the wind is blowing, both on topwater and a drop-shot. Previously, my better fish were coming from the 25-30 foot range. Watch your electronics - when the bait and fish start hanging out in that 10-20 foot depth range, it should be "game on" for the topwater bite! My best top water action has came on a chrome super-spook. The chrome really seems to be key for topwater fish - and I have found that fish we have caught on top are the better fish by far.

I have been out on the lake a good bit for the past 2 weeks, save the holiday - man it is nuts out there on a holiday weekend! I stay away if possible! Anyway, the cooler weather we experienced recently really helped with the topwater bite. The topwater bite had nearly vanished with the late June heat wave, but was back on again after the cool down. The water temps dropped almost 5 degrees as a result of the cool nights, and calling them up out of the brush on topwater became a viable pursuit once again! They were eating Sammy's, Flukes, and a Gunfish pretty well. We got into some solid fish on top especially this past week, tangling with several 4 lbs + fish. When the topwater action died,the drop-shot was the ticket. The fish actually moved to some of the more shallow brush/structure at one point this week - there was more action up in 15-20 feet of water than out deep. Interesting to see, and fun to catch them on top again. I have a great week coming up including a trip with another FLW pro - I know we are going to have a great day! I still have dates open, so call me at 770-542-7764 to book a trip. Visit my website at Jimboonlanier.com More to come next week with another full report!

Lake Lanier Fishing Report June 20 - June 26
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!!
Remember gang, 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 area - you will get bit!

Lake Lanier Fishing Report, April 26th - April 30th, 2010
Hello Fellow Anglers -
This week's Lake Lanier Fishing Report is once again 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!!
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!!
