Hi Rob, JimmyS, Drill Instructor. Been fishing north Lake Lanier for the past couple months. Out of Clarks Bridge Park. Been going out early and catching some small Crappie, Bass, Bream etc. When it starts getting hot (about 10:30) the bite stops.
Tried night fishing under Clarks Bridge on Sat night of the 7th. Caught 5 small crappie, small white bass and a small stripper. The water temp was too hot, around 85 degrees.
Still new at Crappie fishing so I'm still experimenting with different baits. Catch most of them on minnows.
The boat traffic is not too bad if you go out early. Just have to watch the paper for rowing competitions. Clarks Bridge Park is where the Olympic Rowing competition was held and they still have some competitions there.
Hope this helps you Rob.
