Welcome to LanierSpots!

My name is Ryan Coleman and I am a full-time professional fishing guide on Lake Lanier, Georgia, and thank you for visiting my site. If you're considering booking a fishing trip, I'd like to be your guide....and here's why:

Lake Lanier has some of the best spotted bass fishing in the country, and I have called this lake "home" for more than 14 years.

During that time, I've averaged 5 or more days on the water each week, each month, each year. I pay my mortgage by finding and catching these fish, so you can bet that I'm doing everything I can to make a successful trip for you.

I am also an avid tournament angler, and welcome other tournament anglers on my boat. By staying active in the local fishing circuits, I keep my game polished and sharp. My pinnacle win was the BASS open held on Lanier several years ago (picture above at right).

My intent to to cater to the kind of fishing that YOU want to do.

If you want to just go fishing and do the hottest bite going, we'll do that. But most of my clients are fishermen themselves and want to improve thier game on the water. These are the kind of guys and gals that don't have the available time to spend countless hours on the water figuring out how to catch fish. There is no faster way to improve your fishing skills than to hire an experienced fishing professonal that will focus on what you want to learn. If you tell me what you feel your weakness is, I will focus on improving your skills in that area for the day.

Many of my clients want to focus on marine electronics, and I book many trips each year teaching people how to read charts, interpret sonar, and locate fish. We can even go in your boat and use your gear if you prefer it.

I also specialize in specific spotted bass fising techniques, such as drop-shot and using the FishHead. Lanier is one of the best spotted bass lakes in the country, and spot-specific techniques take time to master. I can save you a lot of time and frustration---and maybe improve your tournament ranking!

I want your business, and I want to keep you coming back. So I promise to make your trip enjoyable, safe, and memorable.

Interested? Contact me or send a booking request to me and we'll go fishing!
