Lanier is a hard lake to fish. Most bass are going deeper and are hard to catch. In the BLW tournament a guy caught a 6 lb. large mouth bass cranking. If I where ...more you I would fish deep, or use worm.
I would work points the bass are starting to make the fall transition and moving deeper the males will still be in the shallows with the fry but the big females ...more will be deeper. Hope this helps.
