Super User Chris at Tech Posted May 10, 2015 Super User Posted May 10, 2015 Hey guys, With three kids four and under, I don't get our nearly as much as I'd like but this week was good for fishing. On Thursday I took the day off and chased spots on Lanier with a well-known local guide. I've caught spots before but never targetted them until that day. It took us a while to get the fish to cooperate but we finished the day strong running and gunning, throwing swimbaits across the top of brush piles. Wow, do those spots hit a swimbait! This will not be my last trip to Lanier, especially after watching a 5+ come up from the deep and give my swimbait a brief kiss On Saturday, I got the honor to fish the VERY private and VERY well managed lake at the Piedmont Driving Club with my daughter. A buddy of mine won a charity auction and was kind enough to invite us over there for the experience. The fishing was a bit slower than we would have liked but my daughter got to spend some time in a boat and most importantly got her first fish so I will consider the trip a smashing success. I loved the time with my daughter, but in the back of my mind I was wondering what I could have done on that lake in my boat with all my gear. Oh well, I guess I'll just need to join the club to get access -- anyone have a spare $100k I can borrow? 5 Quote

Super User Chris at Tech Posted May 11, 2015 Author Super User Posted May 11, 2015 Nice fish, but those combos....... Those would be the guide's. I ALMOST refused to fish with the NRX drop shot rig for fear of the can of worms it would open. ALMOST 1 Quote
