LAKE LANIER FISHING GUIDE

It's hard to believe that this summer is coming to a close. It certainly has been a different sort of summer for striper fishing on Lake Lanier than in recent years. The large mega schools of deep water fish were largely replaced by scattered fish in nearly every pocket, creek and river channel section all over the south end. Places that have been summer fishing hot spots for the last decade have produced few if any fish. Those willing to reboot and pattern the current striper population from scratch have had the most productive season. Also, the fish have generally been bigger than usual for August.

This week started out slow with the fish moving around a lot and scattered down the bank lines feeding on spawning herring. The past 2 days they finally schooled back up and biting great. I’m pretty sure this super moon is firing them up. I’m finding most of them in 20-30ft of water feeding right on the bottom.
