The February meeting of the Lanier Striper Club will be on Tuesday, February 1st and will again be at the Roanoke Baptist Church which is located on Buford Dam Rd. about 100 yards east of Samples Rd (where the Exxon station is located) in Cumming. If you're coming across the dam, it is about a half mile after you get over the dam on the left side of the road. Dinner at 6:30, meeting at 7:00 p.m.
We will be offering dinner for $10 for which you will need to purchase and present a meal ticket in order to eat. Jim Farmer from Castaway Baits will be our guest speaker. Also Jack Tiller will be there discussing a program that can turn old cell phones into prepaid phones for our servicemen overseas.
The LLSC would like to thank all the participants in the 2010 Fun Fest. We hope you had as much fun as we did, you helped make the tournament a great success. Tournament results are now available here. Please stay tuned, information about the 2011 tournament will be released in January.
The LSC recently donated fishing equipment to the USACE's project in which they established a catfish pond for people with disabilities to enjoy. Read about it on page 10 of the July 2010 issue of Lakeside News.

Fishing Reports
May 19 - Decided to stay close to home this morning. Launched at Sardis and fished Ada Creek, Gainesville Creek and Holly Park. Got 4 Stripers all together but if you put them end to end, they would not make a single decent fish. Got nothing over about 20". In addition, got 6 or 7 Spots but again they were small. Water temperature was 78+/-, with a little wind but it was a beautiful day. Used two flat lines and two down lines. Fish should be moving into deeper water soon and I hope my luck changes
May 14 - Went out this morning and thought I was going to have a great day. Went up the Chestatee to marker 23 and fished there until I could not stand the Spots any more. Landed 4 Spots and left. Went about a mile down river and had the same luck. Landed 4 Spots and thought it was time to move. Finally I went into Taylor Creek and circled the island. Landed 2 more Spots and thought I better go home. Just could not get a Striper to hit and did not mark anything that resembled a Striper. Water Temperature was 73+ degrees but the day was just beautiful.
May 12 - Went up the Chestatee today. Put in at Bolling (Bolding) Mills and went up river. Actually fished about a mile below Marker 23. It was not a great day, it was raining but NO wind and the water temperature was 70 degrees. Put out two flat lines, two plainer boards one cork and one down line. Fished from about 6:30am until about 10:30am and landed 5 SMALL Stripers, none over 5 lbs and 4 Spots. When I left the house, I knew it was going to be a lucky day, my odometer read 11777 and as we all know 7/11 is a winner, unfortunately the odometer lied. Looking for the big fish but only got the small ones!!!
April 29 - Went out with Dan Saknini this morning at the south end of the lake. We got bait at the Dam Store and went from there. Pat and I were just passengers and had a great time. Dan took us to a few of his favorite spots and we landed 6 Stripers and 6 very large Spots. We were Flat Lining in about 30 feet of water with about 40 to 70 feet of line out. Water Temperature was 58 degrees and the weather conditions were just great. Didn't get any big Stripers but had a great time and were busy from abut 6:00am until about 10:00am reeling in one fish or another. Thanks Dan for the ride and great morning on the lake.
April 24 - Are we crazy, YES!! We had a tournament today and even with the Thunder Storms, lightning and thunder, David Duncan and I were on the lake fishing. Put in at Bolding Mills and fished the Chestatee. It was a terrible day and one that only crazy people and animals should have been out in. We got to Bolding Mills at 6:00 and thought we should wait to see if the weather would clear a little before we put in. Unfortunately, it just got worse. Finally we launched and went down river. Fished until about 9:30 before we even got one bite. Fishing was slow for us but others did real well. We landed two Stripers, one about 14 inches and the other 30.5 inches. Bob Benson on the other hand, landed 9 fish and came in second in the tournament. We didn't even place. Anyway, after fishing until about noon, we got off the river, went home to dry off and went to the Weigh-in. Some nice fish were caught and everyone was as wet as a sponge. Fortunately it was warm and wet, not COLD and wet. It was not a fun day and I really don't think I will do that again.
