THE SOUTHERN FISHING REPORT - May 2, 2008
By Ken Sturdivant
LAKE LANIER IS DOWN 13.4 FEET, AND LAKE IS STAINED AND THE CREEKS AND THE RIVERS ARE STAINED 70 DEGREES
Bass fishing is good and it’s time for top water to begin. Concentrate in the backs of major creeks up lake. The 6A and the 7A Bomber crank baits in baby bass, shad and fire tiger colors cast to the banks will get bite and the fish are relatively shallow at less than 10 feet. Use the stop and go technique and try running these crank baits in the blow downs. This week use several baits including a green pumpkin or June bug lizard, rigged Carolina style fished slowly on the bottom and trick worms. There is some top water action starting using a small chrome Red Fin, or #7 silver black back Rapala.
The bass have moved into 2 to 10 water on the edges of the points, humps and road beds up in the creeks. A slow retrieve in the trees letting the bait float up once it hits the limbs will draw a strike. Fish the backs of the creeks late afternoons with a buzz bait. A Stanley spinner bait in the 3/8 ounce size with white or chartreuse skirts cast to the points and trees will get the fish to attack this lure. The FREE map card deal is still on with any Lowrance 5 inch Sonar/GPS or Lowrance GPS unit. See www.lowrance.com Spotted bass fishing is very good and there are tons of fish shallow lake wide.
The fish are biting on point, breaks, and humps and it’s a run and gun type of fishing. And two words, top water. Spots are hitting top water all over the lake all day. Watch and LISTEN for surface action, and you will probably find bass schooling and feeding right on the surface. Pick any top water lure you want. During the day, the bass are moving out on the points in 8 to 12 feet of water. Target areas mid day will be the reef markers.
The fish that are biting Zoom Flukes in any color as long as it’s white rigged with a Mustad 2/0 hook. Use Zoom’s finesse worm rigged on a 3/16 Spot Sticker jig head in greens or pumpkin colors and a curly tail such as a Zoom Fat Albert in a white or watermelon on a jig head, and small jigs around rocks. This striper report is from Captain Chuck Biggers, Southern Striper Guide Service. 404-405-8280 Stripers have feeding all week. There are tons of bait fish all over the lake and the stripers have become very selective about taking all the natural baits instead of baits with hooks in them. Most of the stripers are still down lake with some up the rivers but they are targeting small food sources.
The fish are feeding on all the smaller new hatches lake wide. So scale hooks and bait sizes way down and go to light line also. Try the small Zoom Fluke on a light lead head. Pearl or Icicle are great colors. The areas where the stripers will feed remain the same but there has been little rewards for all the efforts day or night.
There are a few scattered reports for top water action has come in but nothing to ride around and look for. Pull umbrellas and herring until you see the fish on the Lowrance. If you have not seen the new Lowrance color 522c L C R, it makes all other locators like an old black and white television show. Stick with the main channel points in 60 feet and pull planer boards and get the baits way back to 70 feet over a 45 foot bottom and a down lines have been fair.
Crappie fishing has been very good especially up lake. All the fish are still suspended under docks and the larger the dock the better. Tubes, tubes, and tubes in any color can work. The night fishing is good with minnows on docks with lights as well as on bridges. Depths are 5 to 11 feet.
