Went out on a charter today for crappie. This was my first day on the lake since the snow blast. Water temps today ranged anywhere from 38.9 to 42 degrees which is extremely cold for Georgia resevoirs. We managed to catch around 37 good size crappie. All our fish hit tube jigs at depths ranging […]
Went out yesterday on half day striper charter and braved the 30-40 mph gust as this arctic weather system moved in. We started fishing around noon and fished till about 4:30 boating 3 good stripers in the 10-12 pound range. That much wind made the trolling difficult as it would almost stall the boat out when going […]

Bigger fish are starting to show up on the north end of Lanier. For the past several weeks fishing has been really good although the size on the stripers has been quite small ranging from 2-5 pounds. We have also been catching good numbers of spotted bass mixed in with the stripers. Yesterday while out […]
