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.

Lake Lanier is covered in brush in the 20 - 25 ft range key locations are under browns bridge. Key colors chrome and bone . The setup . Tatula elite 7.1 makes casting a breeze allows you to make far cast with little effort. 7.1 speed is plenty fast for walking the shower blow . The line , braid will be a big factor using it you keep the big spots pinned . It will also aid if you get ran in the brush . The Rod I like a 7 ft med hvy with load in the tip with back bone the soft tip works with the braid to get great hook penetration.
