Local Species Insights: Striped Bass

Lake Lanier's striped bass thrive in the lake's deep, oxygen-rich waters and abundant forage base of threadfin shad and blueback herring. These landlocked stripers exhibit classic schooling behavior, often suspending over deep structure or chasing bait in open water. Spring months bring increased activity as fish move shallow to feed aggressively before summer's heat drives them deeper. Captain Brad's local knowledge of seasonal patterns and productive areas ensures consistent action, whether fish are relating to points, humps, or following bait schools in the main lake.
