FISHING REPORT:
Hello Everyone -
I hope everyone enjoyed a great holiday season. We here in Georgia are in the midst of one of the worst snow storms that I can remember. It snowed about 6 inches Sunday night, followed by freezing rain and sleet - a mess to say the least - particularly here in GA, where we have almost no snow removal equipment!!
The good news is, the cold weather has brought on a great spoon bite, and it should only get better as the weather stays cold. The cold weather will cause a shad kill, particularly back in the creeks where the threadfins are concentrated, and these conditions help make for a rockin' spoon bite.
I have been working outside creek channel bends that also offer other significant structure nearby - standing timber, roadbeds, brush, etc. The fish have been in 40 - 55 feet of water, and I have been vertically jigging a flex-it spoon on top of them. I have been alternating between a silver and a white spoon based on the sun. Sunny days I favor the silver spoon, cloudy the white. Mainly, I have been using spoons in the 3/4 oz range to get them down a bit quicker. Alter your presentation over these fish in terms of your retrieves to find out how the fish want it on that particular day. Sometimes quick snaps work, sometimes a slow methodical yo-yo seems to work best - just depends.
There are also fish stacked in certain areas of the main lake and at the mouths of creeks - these tend to be the bigger fish from my experience. Work back from main lake humps and points until you hit the 40-50 foot zone and look for the timber or other significant structure on your graph that could offer the fish and bait a haven.
The weather is supposed to clear and warm up by this weekend - once the roads are safely passable, you should get out there with the spoon and go to work! Let me know if I can help - I would love to share this technique with you if you are interested - just call me to book a trip. 770-542-7764
I recommend everyone check out the LanierMAPPED.com site ASAP - there are lots of recent changes that I am sure you will be interested in!! And remember gang, use the JIMBO Code at LanierMAPPED.com for a 20% discount on all clips you purchase.
I am still booking Jan/Feb and the Spring - call me TODAY at 770-542-7764 to book your trip!!
Until next time everybody - tight lines!!

Lake Lanier Fishing Report: Dec 8 - 20, 2010
Hello Everyone -
I would like to begin this week's report by sharing some exciting news - I have added another sponsor to Jimbo's Lake Lanier Guide Service! I am excited to report that I am now a pro-staff member for Slongs Fishing Lures. Slongs is a family based business in Kentucky, and I look forward to helping them promote their awesome shaky heads and spinnerbaits to the Georgia/Alabama area. Sean and Chris are just awesome people and I look forward to working with them, and am proud to be a member of their staff! More to come in the future on these great lures and how I use them to catch giant spots on Lanier!
FISHING REPORT:
Fishing has been great the past few days. I have been on an excellent big fish pattern. The bites are limited, but the quality is awesome! I have caught several fish in the 5 lbs class on this pattern, and I expect it to hold for at least the next week based on the weather forecast.
I have been working jerkbaits on shallow rock for my big bites. I have been alternating between slow-rolling these jerbaits and a jerk, jerk, pause retrieve. The fish are on rock points in the creeks as well as some main-lake areas. We have also been catching fish on Kick Bass Jigs with Wackem Jig Trailers in 20-30 feet of water. The Kick Bass Jigs and the Wackem Trailers make an awesome combination - check out the websites - I have hotlinked them for your convenience - just click and view! For the jig bites, rock is also the key - look for steeper rock points for the best success.
I recommend everyone check out the LanierMAPPED.com site ASAP - there are lots of recent changes that I am sure you will be interested in!! And remember gang, use the JIMBO Code at LanierMAPPED.com for a 20% discount on all clips you purchase.

Lake Lanier Fishing Report: Nov 19 - Dec 5, 2010
FISHING REPORT:
Hello Everyone -
Fishing has remained good at the end of November and into the first part of December. The water stained up during this period due to the recent rains, particularly in certain creeks. The lower main lake has remained clear, and the water temperature has fallen from nearly 60 down to right around the 50 mark. The water level has hung around 1068, which is 3 feet below full pool. During this time, I have been targeting fish from 5 feet to 25 feet of water.
For the deeper fish, I have been using the shaky head/green worm combo as well as a drop-shot. My bait of choice for the drop-shot has been a sunrise pearl sissy worm from Wackem - this is really a great bait, especially when the sun is out. When it is cloudy, I have been using a variety of green-pumpkin combos to get bit. I have been catching some on a spoon as well, but I have not focused on the spoon due to the availability of good fish in shallower water.
For my shallower fish, I have also been using a green shaky head/worm combo for most of my bites. I have been targeting shallow creek channels for these fish. I have also caught a few on flukes and jerk-baits 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 crank-baits to catch fish in the backs of pockets.
I recommend everyone check out the LanierMAPPED.com site ASAP - there are lots of recent changes that I am sure you will be interested in!! And remember gang, use the JIMBO Code at LanierMAPPED.com for a 20% discount on all clips you purchase.

Lake Lanier Fishing Report: Nov 11-19, 2010
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! Remember to use the JIMBO code for a 20% discount on anything you purchase.

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!
