Striped Bass fishing in Gainesville GA using jigging and trolling techniques

The sun rises over Lake Lanier. Our boat glides across calm waters. A striped bass breaks the surface. Its silver scales glisten in the morning light. We cast our lines. The lure sinks beneath the waves. A sudden tug on the line. The fight begins. The fish darts left and right. We reel steadily. Finally the bass emerges. A perfect catch. We admire its sleek form. Another memory made on this beautiful lake.
