Local Species Insights: Striped Bass

Lake Lanier's striped bass thrive in the lake's deep, well-oxygenated waters and provide some of Georgia's most exciting freshwater fishing. These landlocked stripers exhibit aggressive feeding behavior during summer months, particularly in early morning and evening periods when they chase schools of threadfin shad near the surface. Captain Brad targets them using trolling techniques to locate active schools, then switches to crankbaits and drop shot rigs for precise presentations. The lake's clear conditions in July allow anglers to sight-fish for suspended stripers, adding visual excitement to the experience.
