Spotted Bass

Spring and fall are prime times to target spotted bass, as they tend to be more active and move into shallower water. Look for them around rocky points, humps, and submerged timber. A local tip: using a drop-shot rig with a small worm or minnow imitation can be deadly in Lanier's clear water. The boat ramps at Lake Lanier Islands provide easy access to the lake.
