  • Lake Lanier Fishing Report - GA

    LAKE LANIER IS FULL POOL THE MAIN LAKE AND CREEKS ARE STAINED & 50S


    Currently the lake stands at .1 feet below full pool, and the surface temps have stayed around 50 degrees. The backs of the major creeks and creek arms are still slightly stained in some places.


    Bass fishing on the lake has been steady. Both shallow and deep remain options over the last week. The warm weather followed by the intermittent cold fronts reposition the fish regularly, making the establishment of a pattern a challenge. Remain flexible as you search for viable daily patterns. Deep and shallow are both valid options on any given day. The ditches are still holding fish and they are catchable on some days shallow and also deep. Crank baits, under spins, damiki rigs, jigs, swimbaits and shaky heads are all still viable options for both the rock fish and the ditch fish. The message is that there are many different options and bait choices out there to target these fish located in a myriad of places. Stay flexible and versatile in your approach. Look for the presence of bait in the area you are fishing, no bait likely equals no fish this time of year.

    This Lake Lanier Striper report is by Captain Buck Cannon of Buck Tails Guide Service Buck Tales Guide Service 404 510 1778


    Striper fishing is good. We fished north and south this week. North of Gainesville will probably be the better bite. We caught some quality stripers in Little River using down lines blue back herring 30 to 40 feet deep on a 40 to 50 foot bottom. Birds were not present so use your Lowrance electronics to find the bait and the fish. Right now it seems to be later morning bite. Pulling Mini Mac umbrella rigs on planer boards will pick up an extra bite as well. Let the mini macs out about 20 foot and attach your boards is working and watch the Lowrance electronics for depth awareness. Buck Tales it like it is. 404 510 1778
