Striper fishing has been good this week but patterns have changed a bit. I was on the lake last Thursday and saw tons of stripers feeding on small threadfins. Birds diving, fish busting but very hard to catch. I was in huge schools of stripers but the downroding with trout produced 2 fish out […]
Crappie fishing has been excellent. We have boated some of the largest crappie Ive seen from Lanier in quite some time. They say that crappie sizes run in cycles but this is the largest bunch of fish we have seen from Lanier. We have been getting them on tube jigs at 5-20 foot depths. We have been […]
Spotted bass are still on fire. Went out spooning for spots and boated around 20 fish with several in the 4 pound range. All my fish hit a .6 flexit spoon with silver flash at 30-40 ft. depths. Also had some spots on a dropshot rig. Super day. Had a great time. Check the photo […]

Crappie fishing is hot on Lanier and Oconee. This is usually a little early but the crappie have already started moving to the winter holding areas. Last week I was out with a customer, Professor Michael Erwin from Ga. Gwinnet College. Michael was doing a study on the crappie population on Lanier. That day we boated 62 good size […]
Fishing for stripers this month has been excellent although this week has been very tough due to extreme 35-40 mph winds we have been having. I had to cancel several trips due to windy conditions. Most of the stripers are being caught flatlining live herring. Gizzard shad are taking some big fish also on planner […]
Striper action is getting better everyday. I went out yesterday and saw lots of moving fish under the birds in the mid lake area. They were a little finicky, we ended up boating 2 good fish in the 15 pound range. We hooked up on the stripers with bluebacks on a long flatline. We caught some huge […]
