Lanier Dock Shooting 2-28-15

Ventured north from my home waters of West Point this past Saturday. Met up with a good buddy and we hit the docks of Lanier. We caught fish pretty steady all day. Even though the schools were large on the SI, you would catch 6-7 fish and they would shut off. We rotated around and would come back later a pick up a few more. The largest fish came off a somewhat shallow dock in a 3-4 degree warmer cove off the river. Most came on Big Bite 1.5 panfish minnows in a variety of colors (blue shiner and electric chicken being the best). Brought a limit back south with me for the fryer.

Lanier is my home water! To cold lately even for a Yankee like me from Pittsburgh. I have southern bones in me now! Some nice slabs fo sho! Electric chicken has become a hot color lately! Seems like it's harder to get more than 10 at a time off of one dock. Changing color sometimes works, but more often than not it's better to give em a lil time and they will fire up again. Maybe it's because the water is so clear. The fish come up a bit and then see the boat and shutoff.

Or it could be me shooting the dock instead of under the dock!
