Lake Lanier

[Lawyer33]

Any idea what the biggest cat caught in Lanier was? I've heard rumors of very large cats around the dam. Any truth to that?

First of all welcome to the BOC. As for the largest on Laneir I couldn't tell you. My largest remains under 2 pounds. For the catfish around the dam, well, its a common tale for all dams regarding a diver almost being eatin by a catfish. Or someone saw on the size of a VW bug. Don't believe it all. Guy round hear, chambers, knows the most about catching cats on lanier that read. Good luck

THIS IS A BLUE CATFISH!

[Lawyer33]

What and where are you catching the fish? What time of day?

[jerseycat9]

My biggest in Lanier is 12lbs but if you frequent the GON website youll see that a few folks are starting to pull the occasional flathead out of the lake this year and they have pictures to prove it so maybe we will have a similar flathead fishery like Hartwell one day in the future:roll_eyes:

lawyer i think i fished in your cove the other night , is there a mini house boat in there ? i went in a big cove with a little opening the other night around jumping rock. cove wa
s big but got really shallow way up in there

[Lawyer33]

Yes. There is a mini houseboat in there. Catch anything?

[rooster1]

we didnt stay in there long we thought it was to shallow we didnt catch anything but we didnt catch much at all that night your gonna be stuck in there if the water goes down much more . were going fri night maybe the cats are back biting

[Lawyer33]

There is a collapsed Dock with what used to be a tin roof on the left as you enter the cove. If you face that dock and fish to the left (between it and an uncovered double slip) you should catch catfish. I have caught them with worms and bream head in that area pretty consistently.

[rooster1]

thanks ill try it next time i go wich will probably be sat night

[rooster1]

i fished your cove a little sat night. we caught three beside the second dock right at the entrance we were doing good and some indians came down on the dock beside where we were fishing so we left
