Local Species Insights: Striped Bass

Lake Lanier's striped bass population thrives in the lake's deep, clear waters and abundant forage base. These powerful fish typically hold near submerged structure, creek channels, and points where they ambush schools of shad and other baitfish. During summer months, stripers often suspend in deeper water during midday heat but become active in shallower areas during early morning hours when Captain Brad schedules his trips. The 37-inch striper recently caught demonstrates the quality of fish available, with these specimens providing explosive fights and testing angler skills with their powerful runs and aerial displays.
