  • Lake Lanier Fishing Update: Top Water Bites, Striper Hot Spots, and Navigating the Turnover Season
    Nov 10 2024
    As of November 10, 2024, Lake Lanier is offering some exciting fishing opportunities despite the ongoing lake turnover. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    **Lake Conditions:**
    The lake level is currently down 2.1 feet, and the water temperature is in the 70s. The water clarity is clear, although the yearly turnover has begun, which can make the water appear darker in some areas due to the mixing of cooler and warmer water layers.

    **Weather and Time:**
    Today's weather is expected to be mild, with temperatures in the 70s. Sunrise was at around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:15 PM.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Bass fishing on Lake Lanier is fair to good. The top water bite is still active, with surface activity scattered across the lake. Look for windy areas with humps and long points to increase your chances. Effective lures for the top water bite include the Lip Thrasin Riser, Ima Skimmer, swimbaits, and Spot Chokers. For deeper fishing, the dropshot method around brush and ledges in the 25- to 35-foot range using Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worms has been productive. The Shakey head bite around docks and blow downs is also yielding results[1].

    Striper fishing is also promising, with these fish seeking oxygen-rich areas. Check contours like ditches, humps, and feeder creeks where they intersect with the channel. Down lines, flat lines, and planer boards with bluebacks, threads, and minnows are effective. Dollar bill size gizzards can also provide some excitement[1].

    **Hot Spots:**
    For bass, focus on the docks in the 15-foot range and work all areas around and in the dock. Also, target the deeper brush in the 35-foot range with drop shots or quarter ounce Spot Chokers.

    For stripers, head to the south end of the lake and troll near the dam north to Young Deer in the river channels. Use Capt. Mack’s 1.5 to 2 ounce chipmunk jigs with trailers or umbrella rigs[3].

    **Additional Tips:**
    Remember to wear your life jacket and stay hydrated. The turnover period can make fishing more challenging, but the fish are still biting. Be prepared to cover a lot of ground to find the active fish.

    Enjoy your day on Lake Lanier

  • Lake Lanier Fall Fishing Update: Bass, Stripers, and Ideal Conditions on the Water
    Nov 9 2024
    As of November 9, 2024, Lake Lanier is offering some exciting fishing opportunities despite the ongoing lake turnover. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    First, the lake level is currently down by about 2.1 feet from full pool, and the water temperature is in the low 70s, which is ideal for fall fishing. The water clarity is generally clear, although the turnover process is causing some areas to be darker and have a distinct odor.

    For bass fishing, the top water bite is still active, with surface activity scattered across the lake. Look for windy areas with humps and long points, and use lures like the Lip Thrasin Riser, Ima Skimmer, swimbaits, and Spot Chokers. The dropshot technique is also effective around brush and ledges in the 25- to 35-foot range, using Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worms. The shakey head bite around docks and blow downs is producing fish as well, especially in the 15-foot range.

    Stripers are on the move, seeking oxygen-rich areas. Check contours that create more movement, such as ditches, humps, and feeder creeks where they intersect with the channel. Down lines, flat lines, and planer boards are the most effective methods, using bluebacks, threads, and minnows. Dollar bill size gizzards can also provide some excitement.

    The weather for today is expected to be partly cloudy with mild temperatures, making it a great day to be out on the water. Sunrise is at 6:51 AM, and sunset is at 5:14 PM.

    Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of bass and stripers. For bass, several fish were caught using the mentioned top water lures and dropshot techniques. Stripers were found in the creeks, particularly in areas with plenty of bait, and were caught using medium shiners on flat lines and planer boards.

    Hot spots include the areas around the ditches and humps, especially where they intersect with the channel. The river channel near the Spanish mansion on the point in Flat Creek has been productive for stripers. For bass, focus on the docks in the 15-foot range and the brush and ledges in the 25- to 35-foot range.

    Remember to keep an eye on the wind and bait movement, as these are key factors in locating active fish. With the cooler weather forecast, the fishing should only get better, so it’s a great time to get out there and catch some fish.

  • Fall Fishing Frenzy on Lake Lanier: Stripers, Bass, and the Best Tactics for an Exciting Bite
    Nov 8 2024
    As of November 8, 2024, Lake Lanier in Georgia is transitioning into its fall fishing patterns, and the conditions are quite favorable for anglers.

    ### Weather and Water Conditions
    The water temperature on Lake Lanier has cooled down to the low to mid-seventies, which is typical for this time of year. The lake level is about one and a half feet below full pool. The water clarity varies from area to area due to the yearly turnover, where the cooler water on top begins to sink and push deeper water to the surface. This turnover can sometimes make the water appear darker and may have a slight odor, but it doesn't seem to be deterring the fish from biting.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 6:00 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and evening fishing trips.

    ### Fish Activity
    The fish activity on Lake Lanier is quite active, especially for stripers and bass. Stripers are looking for oxygen and can be found in areas with more movement such as ditches, humps, and feeder creeks where they intersect with the channel. For bass, the top water bite has been particularly good, especially in windy areas with humps and long points.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Yesterday saw a good number of stripers caught using downlines, flat lines, and planer boards. Blueback herring, threadfin shad, and minnows have been the most effective baits. For bass, the schooling activity has improved significantly, with many spotted bass feeding on shad in the creeks. The bass are often found in 15 to 20 feet on the main and secondary points.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For stripers, using blueback herring, threadfin shad, and minnows on downlines, flat lines, and planer boards has been highly effective. Up the rivers, dollar bill size gizzards are also producing some exciting catches.

    For bass, the top water bite is strong with lures like the Lip Thrashin Riser, Ima Skimmer, swimbaits, and Spot Chokers. When the bass are not schooling, a dropshot rigged with a Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worm around brush and ledges in the 25-35 foot range has been working well. Shakey head setups around docks and blow downs are also producing fish.

    ### Hot Spots
    Some hot spots to consider include the channels and channel edges where stripers are actively pursuing bait. For bass, focus on the mouths of the creeks to about halfway back, where the schooling activity is intense. Windy areas with humps and long points are also prime spots for top water bites.

    Remember to keep an eye on your electronics to locate the schools of fish and adjust your tactics accordingly. And always wear your life jacket for safety.
