FISHING REPORT:
Hey Gang -
Fishing has been really good the last 10 days. I have had some great trips and great action on the water during that time. Fish are still scattered, but have been easier to catch recently.
I have been working 10-50 feet deep and catching fish everywhere in between. I have been targeting points that kiss into the main lake channel or river channel for my deep fish. I have been using a drop shot mainly - my bait of choice as been a sunrise pearl sissy worm from Wackem - they have really been eating this little guy!
For my shallower fish, I have been using a green shaky head/worm combo for most of my bites. I have been targeting steep rock walls as well as docks with brush in the vicinity for my best and most consistent fish. I have also caught a few on flukes as well in these areas - it just depends on the mood of the fish. Remember, the cloudy days will cause them to become spread out, and search baits should work best - throw fish-head spins or small crankbaits to catch fish in the backs of pockets. On windy days, the blade and jerkbait bite should get going good as well - look on rocky main lake points for this bite.
Make sure to check LanierMAPPED.com for the best information on holes - when I am stuck and not catching them from my normal stuff, I go straight to my LanierMAPPED.com directory! It really works! Remember to use the JIMBO code for a 20% discount on anything you purchase.

Lake Lanier Fishing Report: Nov 1-10, 2010
FISHING REPORT:
Hey Gang -
I have been out on several trips over the past couple of weeks and wanted to send everyone an update on the results. Fishing has been good for the most part, but every day is different! As is typical in Fall, the fish are scattered and can be caught in a number of different ways from a number of different locations around the lake.
My best days have included some topwater action - those days just prior to a front have been better. I have actually experienced my best bite on cloudy or rainy days, as I have found the schooling activity to be best then. Check in the mouths of creeks to the mid-points of major creeks to find the schooling action. I have seen literally acres of fish busting at once - it is quite a site! When you see this action, toss your topwater bait into the middle of frey and hold on! I have caught both spots and stripers with this technique - the big spots and stripers often school together. A number of different topwater plugs have been working, including spooks, chugbugs, and flukes. I actually caught a 20 lbs stripe on top last week - I missed out on some good spot action when I was fighting him though!
When the schooling bite is slow, I have been focusing on steep main lake and secondary points. In addition, I have found fish in the pockets towards the back of the creeks. Main lake and creek humps along with long running points have also held fish on certain days, so stay flexible and focus around the brush, particularly on sunny days. I have caught these fish on a shaky head and drop shot mainly. I am dipping ALL of my plastics in JJ's Magic Clear - I just catch more fish that way - no kidding. I have found a variety of plastics to be working, but I really like the Pointy Tail from Wackem - I have been using green pumpkin the most. Check LanierMAPPED.com for the best information on holes - when I am stuck and not catching them from my normal stuff, I go straight to my LanierMAPPED.com directory! It really works!

Lake Lanier Fishing Report - Oct 17-23, 2010
FISHING REPORT:
Hello Everyone -
Well, I finally got back on the water this week after experiencing some motor trouble last week - I was off the water nearly 10 days unfortunately - which explains the lack of a fishing report last week - my apologies! I have to say that the folks at Mercury did NOT take care of me, and when presented with the opportunity to do the right thing, they looked the other way. So, I am no longer a fan of Mercury and would encourage each of you to strongly consider your next purchase to not include a Mercury outboard - just my humble opinion after the experience and conversations I had with the Mercury customer service department this past week.
Onto fishing - I was out on a trip Tuesday with Tim - we went on his brand new G3. I found this center console rig to be a geat set up, and one that will ensure Tim and his buddies will be fishing comfortably for years to come. It was Yamaha powered, and ran very smoothly. We focused on boat and electronic set-up. I worked with Tim on explaining his Lowrance GPS/Chartplotter, and teaching him the things for which he needed to look in finding active, feeding fish as well as key structure and cover. We also worked on lake navigation, as Tim was not very familiar with Lake Lanier. Using a paper map as well as his GPS unit, I explained the keys to navigating Lake Lanier as well as map reading to determine areas that are more likely to hold fish than others. Oh yeah, and we made time for fishing too! We caught several fish on a shaky head worm - we targeted bluff rock and brush in 15-20 feet of water. Tim did a great job and learned quickly - I know he will have many great fishing days ahead. Awesome work Tim!
I was also out on Thursday to test run my boat and made time to fish that afternoon. We were experiencing post front conditions, so I focused on finesse fishing for the day. I caught nearly 30 fish, but not much size to them - my biggest was about 2.5 lbs. I again utilized the shaky head worm and drop-shot rig for the majority of my fish. Not suprising for a post-front day. I tried some other techniques without success, but my main concern was ensuring that motor was up to par and running well. All is great on that front, and I am back in business, so to speak!
I have a couple of days open this coming week - call me TODAY at 770-542-7764 to book your trip! Visit my website at Jimboonlanier.com More to come next week with another full report! Good luck out there!

Lake Lanier Fishing Report October 3-10, 2010
Hello Friends -
I have some exciting news to report - I have added another sponsor! It is my pleasure to announce that I have teamed up with Scott Pledger and his group at Wackem Crazy Baits! Wackem offers an outstanding line of hand-poured plastics in a variety of colors and designs. These baits are very durable, and fish love 'em! I am proud to be working with Wackem, and look forward to keep you all posted on what colors and baits are working out on the pond!
FISHING REPORT:
I had several trips this week, all with great success. I want to highlight my trip with Ron and Westin. We went out together on Friday and really had a great day. We worked Wackem Worms and Green Yum Houdini worms on a shaky head for our best results - everything we threw was dipped in JJ's Magic Clear - more bites baby! We focused on bluff walls with wood and rock, but the rock was really key. Brush in 15-20 feet was also very productive for us. Westin jumped on 'em right away catching fish on the shaky head - some solid ones too. Dad was the hero for the day though as he popped a 4 pound spot in the afternoon - great to see how much fun he had with the that one. Make sure to check out the pictures on my website. Ron and Westin were a great father/son combo - they learned quickly and applied the knowledge to put a spanking on the fish! Great job Westin and Ron!! Can't wait for the next trip! I also had the pleasure of taking out Waine Pittman on Saturday, a local Atlanta-area pro who was in town to prepare for a late October tournament on Lanier. Waine qualified for the BassMasters Classic 2 years ago, and is an outstanding angler. I showed him some of my hotspots on the lake - we caught over 20 for the day, with Waine connecting on a 4 1/2 pound lip for big fish of the day. Waine and I worked the shaky head again for our best results - steep rock and brush were the keys. Topwater has been hit or miss, but we caught some good ones this week on a regular pop-r at daylight. My biggest was 3.5 lbs, and they were agressive hits! Check it out each day - I expect this to get better in the days ahead. I also had a trip on Sunday with Kurt and Dave - we caught a few on the shaky head in the AM on rocky bluffs, but had the day cut short by motor trouble. I look forward to getting these guys back out again soon - they were alot of fun and good anglers - I know the next trip will be much more productive! I have a couple of days open this week - call me TODAY at 770-542-7764 to book your trip! Visit my website at Jimboonlanier.com More to come next week with another full report! Good luck out there!

Lake Lanier Fishing Report Sept 27-Oct 2, 2010
Hey Everybody -
I have some exciting news to report - I have added another sponsor! It is my pleasure to announce that I have teamed up with Scott Pledger and his group at Wackem Crazy Baits!

I am proud to be working with Wackem, and look forward to keep you all posted on what colors and baits are working out on the pond!
FISHING REPORT:
The cooler weather this week brought a BIG improvement to the fishing! In the mornings, I have been pitching 1/2oz Kick Bass Jigs with Wackem Crazy Craw trailers to shallow grass and cover in the back of creeks to catch fish. There are also fish on key pieces of shoreline cover. Work these areas carefully with a Kick Bass Jig or a Wackem pointy tail worm on a 3/8oz jig-head for best results. A buzzbait has been working well in the AM for some better fish - I am working the bait over the grass as well as the steep rock walls up north - look for transition changes in the bank to produce the best fish. Also, I am happy to report that there are still schooling fish in the lower lake. A variety of topwaters will work if you can get it in the middle of the frey when the fish are busting blue backs on the surface. I prefer the walking baits like a Spook, but others will work as well. I have found areas around the mouths of the creeks to be most productive, but you can see the schooling in many other places also. Sun is key for the schooling bite - afternoons seem to be the best time to target these fish. A drop-shot is still working in the brush - I have been targeting brush in 15-20 feet of water for these bites. I expect the cooling weather to really keep the fish active over the next few weeks - NOW is the time to go - let's get out there!! I still have dates open during the week and weekends, so call me at 770-542-7764 to get in on some of the great Fall action.

Lake Lanier Fishing Report - September 18-25, 2010
Hello Everyone!
Fishing Report: Fishing of late has been tough, but I did manage some good fish through the week in preparation for the Camp Sunshine Tournament this weekend. Steve Cox and myself fished the tournament together - we did well in practice and found my shallow jig fish to still be there. We had some back-up areas down south as well, and used both of them in the tournament. Our morning holes produced 2 solid fish, and we could only manage one more keeper in the afternoon. We weighed 5 pounds on a day when double digit weights were rare. I did learn a new trick to catch finicky fish that I used in the tournament and that I will be sharing with my trips in the coming weeks - I know this will only get better and is a secret West Coast technique - call me to book a date and learn! In the mornings, I have been pitching Kick Bass Jigs with Wackem Crazy Craw trailers to shallow grass and cover in the back of creeks to catch fish. The size has been respectable - 2-3lbs range for most. There are still schooling fish in the lower lake, but this is not nearly as strong a pattern as in recent weeks. They can still be caught down there, but you must have patience! A variety of topwaters will work if you can get it in the middle of the frey when the fish are busting blue backs on the surface. I prefer the walking baits like a Spook, but others will work as well. I have found areas around the mouths of the creeks to be most productive, but you can see the schooling in many other places as well. I expect the cooling weather to really turn on the fish and bring them shallower in the next few weeks - we should really be catching them for a long time to come - it is time to fish! I still have dates open during the week and weekends, so call me at 770-542-7764 to get in on some of the great Fall action - it will only get better from here! 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 29 - Sept 3, 2010
Hey Gang!
Fishing Report: I Kicked some Bass this week! The cooler weather has already brought some good fish shallower. I found fish very shallow in the early AM in the creeks, and then gradually fished deeper as the day progressed. Later in the day, I caught fish off of laydowns close to deep water, as well as rocky bluffs. I dipped my 1/2 oz, football head pumpkin-green Kick Bass Jig (with purple and orange accents) in JJ's Magic Clear - and they bit and held on! I caught several fish over 2 lbs, and my biggest was close to 4 lbs. Also, as the day progressed, I threw the Fish Head Spin on windy points and bluffs and caught several using a medium retreive with pauses - contact with the bottom was important. I was also able to find some schooling fish when I was out, but they are tougher to catch. The best way to 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. Work it quickly in the middle of the frey and hold on! I still have dates open during the week and weekends, so call me at 770-542-7764 to get in on some of the great Fall action - it will only get better from here! 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!

Fishing Report: I Kicked some Bass this week! The cooler weather has already brought some good fish shallower.
