Jimbo's Lake Lanier Spotted Bass Guide Service Fishing Report: May 21, 2017

Hey Gang!  The lake is on the rise again with the rain we have received this week.  The rain has cooled off the surface temps a bit, which is a good thing.  I love when Mother Nature preserves the 70 degree water temps, ensuring us a longer lasting topwater bite!  The post-spawn topwater bite remains dominant and we are chasing it every day, all day.  We have had good success with a chug bug and a pencil popper this week.  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 seen some good morning schooling activity 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. 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 available June dates:  6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20(PM), 21, 22, 23, 27, 28, 29, 30.   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.  In case you missed it in the short report above, its Topwater Time! June should be the prime time for this topwater action, and my June dates will go fast! Give me a call and let’s get out and have some fun! Thanks to all and May God Bless.
