  • Fall Fishing on Lake Lanier: Opportunities Abound Despite Transitional Season

    Fall Fishing on Lake Lanier: Opportunities Abound Despite Transitional Season
    Nov 23 2024
    As of November 23, 2024, Lake Lanier is offering some exciting fishing opportunities despite the transitional fall season. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Lake Conditions
    The lake level is currently down 2.1 feet, and the water temperature is in the 70s, which is quite pleasant for this time of year. The water clarity is generally clear, although the yearly turnover has begun, causing some areas to have darker colored water, foam, and an odor. This turnover can make fishing a bit more challenging but doesn’t stop the fish from biting.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at around 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:14 PM. These times are ideal for catching fish, especially during the early morning and late afternoon.

    ### Fish Activity
    Bass fishing on Lake Lanier is fair to good. For bass, 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 include the Lip Thrasin Riser, Ima Skimmer, swimbaits, and Spot Chokers. The dropshot technique is also working well around brush and ledges in the 25- to 35-foot range using a Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worm. The shakey head bite around docks and blow downs has also been productive, especially in the 15-foot range.

    Striper fishing is falling into winter patterns, with the bait thickening up in the creeks and stripers following them. Stripers are schooling on top at random times, often in very large schools that can be seen from several hundred yards away. Use topwater baits like the Berkley Magic Swimmer and Berkley Driftwalker, with the Magic Swimmer being particularly effective in new colors like perfect ghost and olive bone. For live bait, pull freelines with blueback herring 100 feet behind the boat, especially across humps and points.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bass:
    - Topwater lures: Lip Thrasin Riser, Ima Skimmer, swimbaits, Spot Chokers
    - Dropshot: Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worm
    - Shakey head: Around docks and blow downs

    For stripers:
    - Topwater baits: Berkley Magic Swimmer, Berkley Driftwalker
    - Live bait: Blueback herring on freelines

    ### Hot Spots
    The south end of the lake is a key area for stripers, but they can quickly move further north. For bass, focus on main lake points, especially those with humps and long points. Docks and blow downs in the 15-foot range are also productive.

    Remember to check the contours that create more movement, such as ditches, humps, and feeder creeks where they intersect with the channel, as these areas tend to attract stripers looking for oxygen.

    Enjoy your day on Lake Lanier

  • Lake Lanier Fishing Report: Topwater Bites and Striper Schooling Amid Transitional Fall Conditions

    Lake Lanier Fishing Report: Topwater Bites and Striper Schooling Amid Transitional Fall Conditions
    Nov 22 2024
    As of November 22, 2024, Lake Lanier is offering some exciting fishing opportunities despite the transitional fall season. Here’s what you need to know:

    ### Conditions
    - The lake level is currently about 2.1 feet below full pool[3][5].
    - Water temperature is in the low to mid-70s, which is typical for this time of year[2][3].
    - Water clarity varies due to the yearly turnover, with some areas clearer than others. Look for signs of turnover like darker colored water, foam, and odor[2][3].

    ### Weather and Time
    - Sunrise today is around 7:00 AM, and sunset is about 5:15 PM.
    - The weather has been mild, with some wind, which is beneficial for the topwater bite.

    ### Fish Activity
    - Bass fishing is fair to good. The spotted bass are actively feeding on shad in the creeks and around main and secondary points. They can be found in 15 to 20 feet of water[1][3].
    - Stripers are schooling on top at random times, particularly in areas with more movement like ditches, humps, and feeder creeks intersecting with the channel. They are also following bait into the creeks[3][5].

    ### Catches
    - Yesterday saw a mix of bass and stripers being caught. For bass, anglers reported success with topwater baits like the Lip Thrashin Riser, Ima Skimmer, swimbaits, and Spot Chokers in windy areas with humps and long points. Dropshot rigs with Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worms were effective around brush and ledges in the 25- to 35-foot range[1][3].
    - Stripers were caught using live bait such as blueback herring on freelines and downlines. The Berkley Magic Swimmer and Berkley Driftwalker have been standout topwater baits, especially in the south end of the lake[5].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    - For bass: Topwater baits like Lip Thrashin Riser, Ima Skimmer, and swimbaits. Dropshot rigs with Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worms.
    - For stripers: Live bait like blueback herring on freelines and downlines. Topwater baits such as the Berkley Magic Swimmer and Berkley Driftwalker.

    ### Hot Spots
    - For bass, focus on the mouths of the creeks to about halfway back, and target main and secondary points. Docks in the 15-foot range and areas around blow downs are also productive[1][3].
    - For stripers, check the contours that create more movement like ditches, humps, and feeder creeks where they intersect with the channel. The south end of the lake has been particularly active, but stripers can also be found further north[3][5].

    Remember to wear your life jacket and be prepared to move around the lake to find the best fishing spots. The turnover can make fishing a bit challenging, but the fish are still biting. Good luck on the water

  • Fishing Lake Lanier During Turnover: Topwater Bass and Striper Hotspots

    Fishing Lake Lanier During Turnover: Topwater Bass and Striper Hotspots
    Nov 21 2024
    As of November 21, 2024, Lake Lanier in Georgia is offering some excellent fishing opportunities despite the ongoing lake turnover. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Lake Conditions
    Lake Lanier is currently about 2.5 feet below the full pool level of 1071 feet, and the water temperature is around 69 degrees. The clarity varies, with the main lake being clear but the creeks and rivers showing some staining due to the turnover process. This turnover, where cooler water sinks and pushes deeper water to the surface, can make the water appear darker and sometimes produce foam and an odor.

    ### Weather and Time
    Sunrise today is at around 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:14 PM. The weather is expected to be mild, with temperatures in the 70s, making it a comfortable day for fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    Bass fishing on Lake Lanier is fair to good. The topwater bite is still active, especially in windy areas with humps and long points. Look for surface activity scattered across the lake, and be prepared to move around to find the best spots. Lures like the Lip Thrasin Riser, Ima Skimmer, swimbaits, and Spot Chokers have been effective for the topwater bite. For deeper fishing, the dropshot around brush and ledges in the 25- to 35-foot range using a Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worm has been productive. The shakey head bite around docks and blow downs in the 15-foot range is also yielding results.

    Stripers are moving north to the upper creeks and rivers, seeking oxygen. Check ditches, humps, and feeder creeks where they intersect with the channel. Down lines, flat lines, and planer boards are effective, along with bluebacks, threads, and minnows. Dollar bill size gizzards can also provide some excitement.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bass, topwater lures such as the Lip Thrasin Riser, Ima Skimmer, and swimbaits are working well. In sunny conditions, chrome-colored lures are preferred, while white or bone colors work better on cloudy days. For deeper fishing, use a dropshot with a Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worm, or a shakey head with a Zoom Trick worm in green patterns.

    For stripers, bluebacks, threads, and minnows are the go-to baits. Planer boards weighted and unweighted flat lines, along with topwater lures like Whopper Ploppers and Mcsticks, can be effective.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Upper Creeks and Rivers**: These areas are good for stripers as they move north seeking oxygen.
    - **Humps and Long Points**: These spots are ideal for topwater bass fishing, especially in windy areas.
    - **Docks in the 15-foot Range**: These areas are producing fish with shakey head setups and around blow downs.

    Remember, the lake turnover can make fishing a bit more challenging, but the fish are still biting. So, gear up and enjoy your day on Lake Lanier
