Yeah, pretty stained throughout. A lot better than the previous week though, it was really muddy from the rain.

Has anyone been there this past week? I'm thinking of going on Sunday and was wondering what the water temp was.

Was there on Sunday. North end of the lake was around 58-60 and the other areas anywhere from 55-57. Water was still stained with a foot or less of visibility.

Got my cast off the foot finally, and will be ready for another kind of cast! Like throwing jigs for some of those fat crappie, which I have been unsuccessful at finding on Lanier.
Also looking for another boat, a used jon of around 14' I can fix up into an electric-only fishing platform. I was recently diagnosed with RA in both elbows, so I think my kayak days are over - way too early.

Heading to HGL HQL in the AM. Been awhile... not taking a bass rod, period - had enough of them on Lanier lately. I'm fish-hungry. and looking for panfish. Hope to catch some on my new JDM rod that arrived from the land of the rising sun today. Put my best UL reel on it - a Daiwa Luvias 1003 size. Also, I'm using a JDM ester line that breaks at 2.3 lbs and has no stretch whatsoever. I anticipate some cussin', so be warned.

Went on Sunday and the Shellcrackers are out in the shallows now. They are so much fun to catch.

Perfect. What you catch yours on? I'm going by Hammonds for some bait.

Yeah, HQL. My bad.
Not sure how one drop shots when the bream are shallow?
I used a red wiggler on a #6 EC rotating hook. No weight. Caught a few of these but they were scattered. Going back tomorrow.

Nice. They have some slabs in there. Caught one of the fattest bream in my life on a Senko last year. He was hanging out on a deep ledge blow down close to a swallowing cove.
