  • Lake Lanier Fishing Report - GA

    LAKE LANIER IS .24 FEET BELOW FULL POOL, THE MAIN LAKE AND CREEKS ARE CLEAR & 84 DEGREES

    Bass fishing is fair. There are still plenty of the fish around the brush on the main lake and in the mouths of creeks. We have been focusing on this brush almost exclusively every day. Each day is a process of figuring out how aggressive the fish are and how far they will come up. The top water bite has slowed some, but it is still there. The Chug Bug, your favorite walking bait and a bite sized herring have been our go to baits near the surface. A jig, a drop shot, and a Fish Head Spin have been our next choices. We are running several spot tail trips for youngsters and been having a blast. And the artificial bite has been working well also. I have the following dates open in July: 14, 15,21, 23, 24 (PM), 28, 29, 30, 31 July is a good drop shot month and a great time to go spot tail minnow fishing which is great for kids and adults alike!! Give me a call and let’s go fishing.

    This Striper report is from Captain Ken West and Captain Mike Maddalena of Big Fish On Service 404 561 2564. www.bigfishonguide.com

    Striper fishing remains very good. Not a lot has changed this week. The fish are locked into their summer time pattern and most have moved into Creek mouths and bays off the river channel. Your Lowrance fish finding sonar, structure scan and GPS electronics are critical tools for locating summer time stripers. Focus on trees in pockets off the river and creek channels. If you see a couple of fish stop and drop your down rods to targeted depth. Most of the fish are being caught with down rods set at 30 to 50 feet. Trolling lead core is working and will only get better as the summer progresses. Set your lines at 7 to 8 colors with a one ounce. The buck tail jigs with one white and one chartreuse shad body trailer will work. Chartreuse trailers have been more productive than white this week but we always start with both and let the fish tell us what they prefer. Color preference can change from day to day. Pull your lead core line at 3 to 3.7 MPH. The umbrella rig is also working. We use a 3 ounce, 4 arm umbrella rig with 9, 1 ounce buck tail jigs with white and chartreuse 4 inch shad bodies. Set your rigs at 100 to 120 ft back and pull between 2.7 to 3.5 MPH. Bald Ridge creek, Two Mile creek, Flowery Branch, Flat Creek and the Browns Bridge area are all good places to start. The lake temperature is in the mid 80's. The water is lightly stained in the back of the creeks and clear on the main lake both North and South.
