I'm new to Georgia, from Jacksonville Florida. I thought Georgia fishing was going to be easy after catching 20+ at Black Shoals, but then I went to Lanier and have been struggling. Had about a dozen top water hits, but all of them were misses. Caught 6 while trolling a jerkbait and scouting with the fish finder but they were all dinks.
On Tuesday there was top water action all over the place but no bites. I seen other anglers on boats rushing to the top water action but also catching nothing. I found some bass near a 30-35 ft hump chasing bait about 15-25 ft deep. This group stayed in the area for a while; most other groups were under my kayak for only a few minutes. I caught 4 with a 1/2 oz spoon. The small spoon seemed to match the size of the bait I seen jumping at the surface. The largest spot weighed 5lb 8oz.
Nearly all of the bass I've caught have been in 30-35 ft water so I'll try to focus more near those areas until a winter pattern develops.
