    Nice chunky little spot caught casting to submerged rocks along the shade line of the trees. Had a few fish hit topwater but it was hit or miss.

    Jigging off the bottom in the north end of lake Lanier in about 15 feet of water using a zoom super fluke Arkansas shiner on a Berkeley, 1/4 ounce jig head in white. Paint the gill plates red, they really like that. Caught them until I ran out of bait. Zoom flukes last about two fish on a jig head.
