  • Excellent Fishing Opportunities on Lake Lanier: Topwater Bass, Schooling Stripers, and Suspended Crappie Await

    Excellent Fishing Opportunities on Lake Lanier: Topwater Bass, Schooling Stripers, and Suspended Crappie Await
    Nov 2 2024
    As of November 2, 2024, Lake Lanier in Georgia is offering some excellent fishing opportunities. The lake is currently about one foot below full pool, and the water temperature has cooled down to the low 70s, which is ideal for this time of year.

    The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high in the mid-60s and a low in the mid-50s, making it a comfortable day to be out on the water. Sunrise is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 6:00 PM.

    For bass fishing, the top water bite has been particularly good, especially as the day progresses. Look for shad balls over humps and long points, where lures like the Lip Thrasin Riser TKO, Slickstick, Sebile, and Ima Skimmer have been performing well. In sunny conditions, chrome-colored lures are effective, while white or bone-colored lures work better on cloudy days. Additionally, a three-ounce Spot Choker underspin with a three-inch Keitech has been successful for both schooling and suspended fish. Around the docks, the worm or jig bite is also picking up, with green pumpkin or cinnamon pepper colors being the most productive.

    Striper fishing is also heating up as the fish move north to the upper creeks and rivers. Blue backs and gizzards are popular baits, but the abundance of threadfins on the surface is also attracting stripers. Planer boards with weighted and unweighted flat lines have started to produce, and having top water lures like Whopper Ploppers and Mcsticks ready can be rewarding due to the brief but intense surface bites.

    Crappie can be found suspended 10 to 15 feet deep over a 12 to 30 foot bottom. Crappie minnows have been the majority of the bite, and using black and chartreuse or green and chartreuse hair jigs with a slow retrieval has been effective. Setting minnows in rod holders over brush or structure is also a good strategy.

    Hot spots to consider include the upper creeks and rivers for stripers, and areas around humps and long points for bass. The docks, especially those with nearby structure, are also worth a try.

    Remember to wear your life jackets and enjoy the great fishing conditions on Lake Lanier.

  • Fall Fishing on Lake Lanier: Bass, Stripers, and Crappie Thrive in Ideal Conditions

    Fall Fishing on Lake Lanier: Bass, Stripers, and Crappie Thrive in Ideal Conditions
    Nov 1 2024
    As of November 1, 2024, Lake Lanier in Georgia is offering some excellent fishing opportunities. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Water Conditions
    The water temperature on Lake Lanier has cooled down significantly, hovering around the mid-70s, which is ideal for this time of year. The lake level is currently about one foot below full pool. The main lake is clear, while the creeks and rivers have varying degrees of stain.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 6:30 PM. These times are crucial for planning your fishing trips, especially for those targeting topwater bites.

    ### Fish Activity
    Bass fishing on Lake Lanier is good, with the bass resuming their normal patterns for this time of year. The topwater bite is getting better each day, particularly over humps and long points where shad balls are present. Chrome-colored lures work well in sunny conditions, while white or bone-colored lures are more effective on cloudy days. The Lip Thrashin Riser, Slickstick, Sebile, and Ima Skimmer have been producing well. For deeper fishing, a three-ounce Spot Choker underspin with a three-inch Keitech or worms and jigs around the docks in green pumpkin or cinnamon pepper colors are effective.

    Striper fishing is also strong, with stripers moving north to the upper creeks and rivers. Using blue backs, gizzards, or threadfins blowing up on the surface can be very effective. Planer boards with weighted and unweighted flat lines, along with topwater baits like Whopper Ploppers and Mcsticks, are recommended. Lead core lines with Berkley Fusion White bucktails or Capt. Mack white chipmunk jigs tipped with chartreuse Shad bodies are also catching big fish.

    Crappie fishing remains good, with crappie suspended 10 to 15 feet deep over 20 to 40-foot bottoms. Crappie minnows and jigs, especially in black and chartreuse or grey on grey combinations, are working well. Using an Acc crappie Stix rod and reel with a 4 to 6-pound test K9 line, along with Garmin Live Scope and Power Pole, is highly recommended.

    ### Hot Spots
    For bass, focus on the humps, ledges, and long points, especially where there is structure like brush. The upper creeks and rivers are hot spots for stripers, particularly around areas with schooling shad. For crappie, target the deeper brush in the 20 to 40-foot range.

    ### Tidal Report
    Since Lake Lanier is a freshwater lake, it does not have tidal fluctuations. However, the water level can change due to dam operations, so it's always a good idea to check the current lake level before heading out.

    In summary, with the cooler temperatures and clear water, Lake Lanier is in prime condition for a variety of fish species. Make sure to wear your life jackets and stay hydrated as you enjoy the fall fishing season.

  • "Fall Fishing Frenzy on Lake Lanier: Chasing Bass, Stripers, and Crappie"

    "Fall Fishing Frenzy on Lake Lanier: Chasing Bass, Stripers, and Crappie"
    Oct 31 2024
    As of October 31st, Lake Lanier in Georgia is experiencing a transitional period that makes for some exciting fishing. Here’s what you need to know:

    ### Lake Conditions
    The lake level is currently about 1.3 feet below full pool, and the water temperature has cooled down to the low 60s. The main lake is clear, while the creeks and rivers have varying degrees of stain.

    ### Weather and Time
    Today, you can expect a crisp autumn morning with sunrise at around 7:30 AM and sunset at about 6:30 PM. The weather is forecasted to be cool, which should keep the fish active.

    ### Fish Activity
    Bass fishing on Lake Lanier is good, with the fish feeding up for the winter. The topwater bite is getting better each day, especially over humps, long points, and areas with shad balls. Schooling activity has picked up, but it's scattered, so you need to be quick to cast into the schools before they dive. Lures like the Lip Thrasin Riser, Ima Skimmer, small Gunfish, swimbaits, or Jerkshads have been producing well. On low wind days, the drop shot with Lanier baits like Sweet Rosy and Blue Lily worms around brush and ledges is effective. The worm or jig bite around docks, brush, and blowdowns is also improving, with watermelon green trick worms or brown and chartreuse jigs working well.

    ### Striped Bass
    Stripers are moving into shallower waters, typically less than 30 feet deep. Freelining blueback herring while slowly trolling around points mid-lake can be effective. Planer boards with medium shiners and flat lines have also produced results, especially in areas with plenty of bait. A recent trip to the river channel near the Spanish mansion on the point in Flat Creek yielded three stripers, with the largest almost 14 pounds.

    ### Crappie
    Crappie are getting more active with the cooler weather, suspended 5 to 10 feet deep over 12 to 20 foot bottoms. Crappie minnows and jigs, particularly black and green or green and chartreuse, are working well on open water brush. Using a rod holder with minnows and casting jigs with a slow retrieval is a good strategy.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Humps and Long Points**: These areas are hot for bass, especially where you can find shad balls.
    - **River Channel near Spanish Mansion**: This spot has been productive for stripers, especially with planer boards and medium shiners.
    - **Flat Creek**: Look for areas with plenty of bait and structure for both bass and stripers.

    Remember to stay hydrated, wear your life jackets, and enjoy the fall fishing on Lake Lanier.
