Same report as earlier in the week. The topwater is still not strong yet but it is coming along. The live bait bite on herring is great. Catching a mixed bag of bass and stripers. Fishing is equal all over the lake. Today we caught them on the north end and the south end.Great time to be on the lake. Go fishing if you can. The store got in some nice size herring. Much bigger than the last load.

Clay-- a little off topic, but someone just asked me about fishing lanier in the fall; i seem to remember that late fall is lousy, but what about early fall. do i have this right? trying to figure on when they should come into town on business and mix it with some lake water
thanks!

Year in and year out I would say early fall is the tricky time due to the lake turnover. The time period from late September to the middle of October. However, last year it stayed hot until mid-october and the downline continued very strong to the middle of October before it cooled off. November is usually a little more consistent to bring clients but some of the best days I have ever had were in October. I have a video clip from last October from one of my customers I am working on that is incredible. We were hooking them two and three at a time on topwater. So as always it is hard to say and my univeral answer "it depends" Hope this helps,
