Fishing Report: I was out 4 times this week with mixed results. I was able to find some schooling fish each day I was out, but they are tough to catch. The best way is catch these fish is to have a topwater bait at the ready, and sling it in the middle of the surface action when you see it. A bone gunfish was my choice for topwater - you can also throw a fish-head spin through these surface fish and catch them as well. Use a medium-fast retrieve with intermittent jerks to create reaction strikes. I also expounded on the steep bank fish pattern from last week. We worked Wackem Crazy Baits on red clay and rock bluff walls. The fish were holding at the end of cover, such as laydown trees or brush that was in the 20 foot zone. I have to say, I was impressed with the Wackem Baits - they offer a great selection of baits that hold up to to repetitive fish and maintain their scent as well. Scott and the team over at Wackem have it going on - thanks to Steve for turning me on to these awesome baits!! My favorite is the Pointy Tail Worm, with the Wild Thing (as a jig trailer or fished alone on a jig head or pegged sinker rig) a close second. We got bit on the the Tomato as well as the R&S Sand colors. Check out their site at www.wackemcrazybaits.com when you have a chance. A special call out to Russ and his dad, Buddy - we enjoyed a great day together on the water this week - even though the fishing was tough, we had a great time - looking forward to our next trip! I still have dates open during the week and weekends, 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! Good luck out there!
The FLW Cup on Lanier was an awesome event! I had the pleasure of guiding Cody Meyer during the pre-practice period for the Cup - he finished second and won $100,000 for his effort. Had his electronics not failed on Day 4, I am sure he would have given Kevin Hawk a strong run for the Championship. LanierMAPPED.com had a booth at the event - we saw many visitors during the weekend, and made some new friends as well. Thanks to everyone for stopping by, and a special thanks to all that purchased this awesome information! I also gave away a guide trip on Lanier, and am happy to report that Ken Amandolia was the winner! Congratulations Ken - I look forward to our day on the water!

Lake Lanier Fishing Report - August 13-22, 2010
Hello Everyone -
I am excited this week to welcome 3 new sponsors to Jimbo's Spotted Bass Guide Service - Sworming Hornet Lures (The Original Fish Head Spin), Kick Bass Baits (Jigs and Chatterbaits), and JJ's Magic Attractant. I look forward to working with each one of these great companies, and have already had great experiences with each. I know these products work, and I will be sharing insights from my trips on how to use these products to catch more fish!

Fishing Report: Fishing has been bit tougher out on the pond of late. The top-water bite has been spotty at best, and the swim bait bite is hit or miss as well, depending on the weather and water conditions. I did some exploration this week up North and found some interesting results. We caught fish by pitching a Kick Bass Jig into shallow cover in morning in the backs of pockets and creeks, and then moved out to steeper walls with isolated cover to keep getting bit as the day progressed. The fish were surprisingly shallow in the morning, as we caught fish in 2 feet of water or less. I tipped my Kick Bass Jig with a pumpkin green Yum Twin Tail Trailer dipped in JJ's chartreuse dye. The drop shot is still working as well in the lower lake, 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/watermelon-red colors have been my choices for the drop shot. After Cody's success with the Cross-Tail Shad, I started throwing some of those baits he gave me during our trip, and they worked! And of course, I dip all of my plastics in JJ's to get more bites. As Kevin Hawk demonstrated, the Fish Head Spin tipped with a super fluke Jr. fished above the brush is working as well when the fish are active. 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 - July 24-30, 2010
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!

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. 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.

Also, the Pink Roboworm has been falling off a bit - a sampling of some of the more traditional Lanier colors may be the best strategy for the drop-shot.

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!

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!!
