Fishing has been pretty good on Lanier the last couple of weeks now that turnover is out of the way. On days when the wind is calm we are seeing a good bit of surface activity and we have been able to catch the stripers casting small baits. Once the wind picks up we have […]
The topwater bite is here on Lake Lanier. The stripers are beginning to school on top and some of the group are fairly large. We are catching most of the fish on seven inch redfins in the chicken scratch and chrome and blue colors. Windy bad weather days have been some of the best fishing […]
Fishing continues to be pretty good here on Lanier. Water temperature continues to hang around 84 degrees which is keeping the fish deep but not as deep as expected. The water quality is better than normal due to the lack of rain and the stripers are on a 40 ft bottom. Most years they do […]
