Lake Lanier - Freshwater Fishing Report

Shane Watson Guide Service Report (5-21-10). The striper fishing has been very good this week on Lake Lanier. Our boats have done well on downlined bluebacks fished 20 to 25 feet deep over a 35 to 70 foot bottom on points. We have also done well on Capt. Mack's u-rigs fished from 60 to 80 feet behind the boat on the 4 arm rig and 120 to 130 feet out on the 3 arm rig. The north end has been better this week for numbers. The fish on the south end have been a little bigger this week on average. We have done ok on a freeline and on a Redfin for the first hour most mornings, but switched over to downlines and trolling after the sun gets up. Overall, the striper fishing has been very good this week on Lake Lanier. This report is brought to you by Shane Watson Guide Service www.lakelanierstripers.com, Hammond's Fishing Center, and Carolina Skiff Boats. Good Fishing.
