Nice fish, I have heard Lanier is a good Spotted Bass lake.
You can't swing a dead cat, I mean throw a crappie jig, without catching one. I tell folks that if I fish for bass, I won't catch any crappie, but if I fish for crappie, I always catch both! All my JDM rods have been tested on them, and performed well, IMO.
