We’ve talked a lot the last couple of months about fishing in Lake Country: stripers, hybrids, bass, and even spotted bass up at Lanier. We really do live in a great spot if you love to fish. Think about it.

Lake Sinclair is fishing amazingly well right now! I mean if you guys aren’t fishing Sinclair for stripers, hybrids, and whites you are seriously missing out. Drop the bass stuff and pick up a spoon or a mini-Mack and get to it, folks!
