Lanier can be awesome in Nov / Dec. Jighead worm / jerk bait / spinnerbait / FHS / chatterbait / crankbaits….. all good baits for Lanier in late fall. Just find the bait ( especially blue backs ) and the bass will be there.
Me and Ryan fish tournaments together. November is one of the best months to fish Lanier. If you want a chance at catching a 5 pound spot, give him a call.
