Crappie fishing remains excellent. Fish still think its spring time with the warmer February we’ve experienced. We are having 80-100 fish catches on the crappie most days. All the crappie are holding at 6 ft. depths and shallower hitting light weighted tube jigs. Last Saturday we got into some stripers fishing trout on downrods at [...]
Went crappie fishing yesterday with customer Mark Hey. Fishing was excellent. We boated well over 100 fish with a few in the pount range. Most were just good hand size crappies, excellent eating . The water temperature was 50 degrees yesterday which is around 10 degrees warmer than it was last year at this same time. [...]

Striper actions is still good on south end of Lanier. Usually November and December the stripers start to migrate up the Lake and concentrate in the Gainesville areas of Lake Lanier.
