Lake Lanier - Freshwater Fishing Report
Shane Watson Guide Service Report (08-19-10). Since my last report the striper fishing has been great, but this morning they were on fire. Our boats caught and released many, many stripers up to 22 pounds this morning on leadcore and on downlined bluebacks. It was the best leadcore fishing that I've seen this summer for size and numbers. Leadcore 9 colors out at 3.0 mph with a white 1 ounce jig tipped with a Shadalicious or Basstrix trailer has working best for me. Our boats also did very well this morning on downlined bluebacks fished 70 to 80 feet deep over a 100 foot or so bottom. Overall, the striper fishing has been great. This morning brought some of the best striper fishing we've seen this summer, so far. This report is brought to you by Shane Watson Guide Service, Hammond's Fishing Center, and Carolina Skiff Boats. Good Fishing.
