After a great topwater month this November look for the winter patterns to now fall into place. The bait is now beginning to move into the creeks and the stripers are following them. Live bait will be hard to beat in December. The baitfish are now moving into the creeks in very large schools. Some […]
October is finally here and time to get out the artificials for some topwater explosions here on Lake Lanier. As the surface temperatures continue to drop look for the fish to feed close to the surface. If you like to cast, October is your month. Many times the schools will be large enough to see […]
The fishing here on Lake Lanier has been outstanding the past month. The stripers have decided to stay shallow all Winter feeding on threadfin shad. The threadfin shad are very small so we have had to change to small baits on light line. Most days we have been using 10 pound Trilene 100 % Flourocarbon. […]
