  1. Have wife, need man with boat !!

    Look up Jimbo on Lanier on Facebook or YouTube for a good outing on Lake Lanier. He specializes in Bass fishing and can do a half-day morning or afternoon. He provides everything you would need.
  2. THREAD FOR POSTING PICTURES OF FISH CAUGHT

    I envy those that have bigger, faster, prettier, bass boats until I think about how much a new boat costs. My 15 foot boat gets me around the lake just fine. I normally fish solo but would welcome a fishing buddy to share tips and enjoy being on the lake.
  3. THREAD FOR POSTING PICTURES OF FISH CAUGHT

    The photo is one of the Spots I caught on Lake Lanier a couple of months ago fishing on a rainy day. Now that I am retired I got back into fishing a year ago. My previous fishing experience was as a youth/teenager on farm ponds. I can tell you that compared to a small farm pond, Lake Lanier is...
  4. Waypoints of Structures on Lake Lanier Wanted

    Thanks for the offer. Lanier is a large lake and one that takes some effort to learn how best to fish.
  5. Waypoints of Structures on Lake Lanier Wanted

    Thanks for the response. I found a printed source of Lake Lanier underwater structures on the topographical maps issued by Atlantic Mapping and sold by fishing shops around Lanier. They published two GPS maps, one for the South and one for the North part of the lake. I was able to locate and...
  6. Waypoints of Structures on Lake Lanier Wanted

    Now that I am retired I bought a used boat and started fishing on Lake Lanier earlier this year. I upgraded the electronics on the boat to a Garmin Echomap Plus 73SV sonar/gps unit. I am getting the hang of reading the charts and the navigation has one foot contours of the lake. My prior...
  7. Fish finder

    Biker I knew you were a gun guy, never knew you were practically a professional fisherman. I need to pick your brain about fishing Lake Lanier.
  8. Fish finder

    Lanier is where I will primarily fish, mostly the southern half of the lake. I have been putting in at the Old Federal boat ramp. I am just getting started with large lake fishing on a boat now that I am retired. My previous fishing experience was on small farm ponds growing up.
  9. Fish finder

    Basically the 73sv has the side view feature, the other unit does not.
  10. Fish finder

    I decided that the better unit that has the navigation would go on the console and the older fish finder only unit would be moved to the trolling motor. Your approach may be better, but I am going to give this a try and see how it works.
  11. Fish finder

    I pulled the trigger on the Garmin echoMap Plus 73sv through an online source. It is the prior year's model so I got a better deal over the current model. I missed out on getting it locally even though both BassPro and Cabela's still had it listed on their online catalog but had sold out. The...
  12. Fish finder

    One of the reasons I am planning to purchase a Garmin is their maps are very detailed with 1’ contours. One thing you quickly discover as you shop is that no matter the source, retailer or online store, everybody have the same price. Hard to find a deal off full MSRP.
  13. Fish finder

    I have been researching GPS/fish finders for my “new to me” bass boat. What I have found is that you can spend as much as you want. In fact, you can spend more for a fish finder that you paid for the boat. The top brands are Humminbird, Lowrance, and Garmon. You can’t go wrong with any of...
  14. [video] A little fishing on Lanier today

    Thanks for sharing. I recently got my lifetime GA Sportsman License and am getting back into fishing after many years. Perhaps ODT needs to add a fishing sub-forum.
