APRIL 21, 2024

WEST POINT LAKE IS DOWN 2.4 FEET, 80 DEGREES

Bass fishing is very good. This is full moon week. Fish shallow points, coves and pockets on major creeks such as Wolf Creek, Beech Creek, Turkey Creek and Wilson Creek. Use ½ ounce spinnerbaits in a white and chartreuse with a double willow blade combination. Slow roll the spinnerbait around any cover on the points and in the coves and pockets. The important thing right now is to cover a lot of water. For a fast bite use the Berkley Square Bill 7.5 and 8.5 Special Craw 2 Brown Craw. Try the Suspending Rogue 18 in clown color. Due to recent rains, the up lake will be stained but it is warm and this will bring the lake level up moving the largemouth bass up into shallower water.

Our On the Water SONAR School is designed to teach anglers how to read all the latest technology. We train on all brands. All these machines all offer Sonar CHIRP Side Scan and Down Scan Technology. Lawrence has the Patented FISH REVEAL technology. Bring the boat and any machine we teach all brands! We have Lowrance PRO12 with C Map and the Active Target 2 LIVE Sonar on the training boat. We started these schools to help anglers how to find and catch more fish. We go over how to rig the transducers and tune the depth finders. We use the Lawrence units but we teach all brands. There are schools of fish in all lakes that are never fished for. Most bass anglers cast to the banks. There are many schools of fish on off shore structure that the typical angler never knows are there. Learn about the latest mapping technologies. How to properly mount and maintain transducers. Spend the day using the latest electronics. On Lake Lanier we find the road beds, humps, standing timber, and brush piles where the fish live. See sunk boats! The school is eight hours exclusively on Lake Lanier. To catch fish all year the latest technology takes all the guess work out of where they live. All the details for our On the Water SONAR School is on our web site on the Schools page. Call after 5pm 770 889 2654
