Spotted Bass Spotting

These are a few of the Lanier spots that decided they wanted to tango with Ray and I.  The fishing this past week was not very good by fishwithmatt standards but we did manage to catch a few decent fish.  The days have been hot and calm, which makes it hard to convince a spotted bass to bite anything.  Fooling these fish into biting a bait is like pulling teeth, as tough as any species of fish I have ever pursued. 

Am going to be back on the water for the next 6 days with National Guard Pro Justin Lucas.  We will be making videos and lots of memories that I will share here with all of you fishwithmatt readers.  Hopefully the fishing picks up and the lake starts to show some of it's power.  Then again it is the 100 degree days of summer right now, and I know by now that these are the toughest days of fishing of the entire year.  I am off in search of another crush!  Time to stretch the string.
