Quality Stripers and Unforgettable Moments on Lake Lanier 

Striped Bass

Striper fishing!

We've had a blast on recent fishing trips! The clients have been amazing, and this year's catch is surpassing previous seasons. Striped Bass, Spotted Bass, and Catfish are on the menu, with some impressive-sized Stripers giving us an exhilarating fight. Live bait, especially Blueback Herring, has been our go-to, and the action is hot over a 45-70' bottom. Most hits happen around 30' deep. Don't miss out on the fun - it's the perfect time to set sail and reel in the excitement!
