Finally made it out to Lanier for some fishing this week. The weather has been a combination of wet and cold! I fished the back of a southend creek in search of stripers but only found spots! I caught a few spots while free-lining trout for the stripe's. Next time out I will likely target only spotted bass as I did very well this time last year with flex-it spoons and bucktails jigs.  The lake is still full and looking great, very little pleasure boat traffic makes the winter months a great time to get out and fish!
