WEST POINT LAKE IS DOWN 2.1 FEET, 70 DEGREES

Bass fishing is good. We are now is a post spawn week. The lake is clear and look for fish moving up and in a variety of depths. Fish the blow downs and any shallow cover in the pockets with a black and blue Berkley swim jig and a chartreuse and white spinnerbait. Fish the docks in these pockets with a Big Bite Baits Yomama in hematoma. With the lake clear look for the fish to be in the backs of the pockets or on any sand patches that are in the pockets. Keep a bone Zara Spook ready all day for any top water action. If the water is clear enough and work shallow baits like a white or green pumpkin Big Bite Baits Fighting Frog. Also add the dark colored Big Bite Baits lizard around these same areas. Make multiple casts to the same areas and work the same area as soon as they show up.

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 the 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
