Lake Lanier - Freshwater Fishing Report

Striper fishing on Lake Lanier is picking up from previous weeks. The water is starting to stabilize after these heavy rains. We have been doing well on Flat-lines throughout the day, catching a nice variety of Stipers and Spotted Bass. Fishing has been consistent the entire day. Mornings and afternoons have been producing. There is also a good top-water bite. Lures that are working for us are magic swimmers, sammies and mc sticks. Look for the fish surfacing in the middle of the channel or around points. Stripers have been difficult to mark. They are actively moving. Find the bait and find the fish. In the next couple of weeks the typical summer time pattern will be upon us. Fish will be moving out of the creeks and deeper. Some of the best fishing on Lanier will happen in the next couple of months. Morning and afternoon trips are available. We have a couple of open dates left in June. Call me at 678-634-3408 for rates and availability. Get hooked up! These fish were caught on a half-day 5/29/13. See you on the water.
