Jimbo's Lake Lanier Guide Service Fishing Report: June 7, 2017

The fishing on Lanier remains very good.  The lake continues to come up with all the recent rain, and the water temps are in the upper 70’s.  This is going to sound like a broken record, but the topwater bite remains dominant and we are chasing it every day, all day. To sum it up, if it walks, pops, spits, wakes, chugs, or swims, it will catch fish right now!  Focus on offshore structure with cover, such as brush on humps and points, for this approach.  The bite seems to be better in the middle of the day than any other time, but we have are still seeing some good morning schooling activity again this week as well, for which the topwater lures have been excellent.  Just throw it in the action and hang on.  Wind blown points have been the best places for this action.  The fluke has continued to produce well also in the same type places.  Work it fast and then kill it and let it settle. Vary the cadence until you find what the fish want.  The fluke can be a good option when there is no wind. Also the swimbait bite has returned and has been producing some good fish.  I have been using the Sweet Herring and a Sebile.  Same places as mentioned for the topwater bite. The only other thing we are throwing with any consistency is a SuperSpin.  We are using this bait in the same areas as we do for the topwater as another option if the fish won’t come up.   Here are my remaining available June dates:  19, 20(PM), 21, 22, 23, 28, 29.   Father’s Day is coming up!  What better gift to give Dad than a fishing trip with Jimbo!  Call me to purchase a gift certficate. Make sure to check out my article, written by Ronnie Garrison, in the June edition of GON Magazine.  It offers some detailed insights on how to maximize your topwater catch in June.  It’s worth a look! Give me a call and let’s get out and have some fun! Thanks to all and May God Bless.
