Spot Crush, Lake Lanier

   

My first few weeks in Gainesville, GA on Lake Lanier are in the books and I am left speechless.  Not sure where to start but here goes nothing.  

Pictured above is my brother Jim with a giant Lanier spotted bass.  

  I fished for bass almost everyday I was there.  The weather was a bit brutal but it didn't keep me off the water.  It rained almost every day, and was in the 30's every morning.  The lake was a foot over full pool.  First time it has been full pool in 5 years.  Just 18 months ago the lake was in a major drought and was down 50 plus feet. 

I hit the water with local bass expert Nick from Hammonds, and we were able to catch some spotted bass.  Size wasn't great but for this time of year we really couldn't complain.  Most of our spotted bass came on a drop shot rig with a few coming on top water.
