How many of you are members of this segment of detailed reports / subscriber reports, and how much info are you getting.

The reason I ask is I only get out about twice a month, and with the locations / paterns changing, I sometimes spend more time looking for fish than fishing.

I am not trying to be sarcastic, but it seems like you have answered your own question. There are certain times when it is slow and so forth, that is less help. On the other hand when things are wheeling and there is a certain bite at certain places, along with certain key techniques, that it can be extremely benificial. just my .02

I used to subscribe and found Clay's reports worth reading. Find it hard to subscribe anymore after having my nose rubbed in it by some people that visit this board. Just a little reminder, when you start abusing people that use this board, you're only hurting Clay's business.

I've had a different experience than Kepler. If it wasn't for this forum then I would not nearly have the network I have now for striper fishing on Lanier. I fish with a lot with guys from this forum and they have been nothing but great people and even better friends. I've even been invited to board some boats from some of the guys on this forum for some tournaments(we did really well too). I'd have to say if it wasn't for this site, I wouldn't have lots of numbers in my phone that I can call on any time to go fish with or to see where the fish are.

My brother subscribes to Clay's detailed reports and we have found them to be useful. The detailed reports I've seen in the past tells you were to look(exact markers or areas)for fish and what method to use. Do it!

^^^^^ Couldnt agree more Nick ^^^^

Thanks for the feedback.

It sounds like the subscribed reports are what I need.

I know the tactics by seasons, but struggle to locate fish since there is so much water to cover.

Yes seahawk you are spot on about covering so much water. Even after years and years of fishing this lake. The fish don't seem to do what they did last year at the same time.

The last three years for example have been totally different places and depths in the same time period. So if you get out 2 to 3 times a month, between the reports on the forum and the subscribed reports, you can hit a game plan and attack the day.

Good luck with your fishing!!!

downline season? look for the fleet!!!

If you see a white Century center console stay away from him!! He looks for his own fish and does not look for boats as the rookies do. I wish I had a dollar for every time a freek'n boat came in on me, never marked fish and just dropped the trolling motor. I should be getting guide service pay for all the boats that do this...

PREACH ON BROTHER!!!
