This isn't your average leisurely boat ride – it's 5 hours of focused, technical fishing that'll put your skills to the test and potentially land you that trophy catch you've been dreaming about.
Trip Overview

Bring your favorite rod or use the high-quality equipment provided – either way, you're in for some world-class bass action.
What to Expect on the Water
This isn't a trip for beginners or the faint of heart. Captain Brad will have you employing advanced techniques like drop-shotting deep structure, working topwater lures in the early morning, or finesse fishing with soft plastics around laydowns and docks. You might find yourself casting to specific targets, jigging over deep brushpiles, or even trolling with downriggers for those big Stripers. The key here is versatility – conditions on Lake Lanier can change quickly, and being able to adapt your approach is crucial for success.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
Lake Lanier's reputation as a bass fishing mecca is well-earned, and Captain Brad's expertise takes it to another level. Regulars on this trip rave about the non-stop action and the chance to really hone their skills. It's not uncommon to boat 20+ bass in a morning, with the real possibility of hooking into a true giant. Plus, the scenery ain't half bad – Lake Lanier's 38,000 acres of clear water and wooded shorelines make for a pretty sweet office, even when the fish aren't cooperating.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Largemouth Bass: The king of the lake, Largemouth on Lanier can grow to trophy proportions. These ambush predators love to hang around structure like fallen trees, docks, and weed edges. In the spring and fall, you might find them in shallower water, while summer heat drives them deep. There's nothing quite like the explosion of a big Largemouth crushing a topwater lure at dawn.
Spotted Bass: Often overlooked by visiting anglers, Spots are the bread and butter of Lake Lanier fishing. These scrappy fighters are abundant and willing to bite year-round. They tend to school up, so when you find one, you've often found a bunch. Spots love deep structure and can often be caught with finesse techniques like drop-shotting or shaky head worms.
Striped Bass: The true monsters of Lake Lanier, Stripers can grow well into the 20+ pound range. These hard-fighting fish are often found chasing schools of bait in open water, but they'll also hang around deep structure. Summer sees them go deep, while cooler months might bring them up shallow. Hooking into a big Striper is like being tied to a freight train – hold on tight!

Learn more about the species
Largemouth Bass
Largemouth Bass are the heavyweights of Lake Lanier, often hitting 5-10 pounds. These ambush predators love hanging around submerged trees, weed edges, and docks. Spring and fall are prime times, when they move shallow to feed. Anglers love 'em for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. To land a big one, try pitching jigs or wacky-rigged worms tight to cover during low light. When it's sunny, go deep with crankbaits along points and ledges. These bass are suckers for shad imitations, so match the hatch. Pro tip: Work your lures slowly in cooler months - the fish are less active but still willing to bite. Whether you're after a trophy or just want consistent action, Largemouth are a blast to target year-round on Lanier.
Spotted Bass
Spotted Bass are the scrappy middleweights of Lake Lanier, typically 1-3 pounds but can push 5. These hard-fighting fish prefer clearer, deeper water than their largemouth cousins. You'll find them around rocky points, drop-offs, and submerged timber. Spots really turn on during summer and fall, chasing baitfish in open water. Anglers love their aggressive nature - they'll hit just about anything that moves. To catch 'em, try drop-shotting small plastics or throwing topwater lures early and late in the day. When fish are deep, Carolina-rigged finesse worms are money. Local tip: Keep an eye on your electronics for schools of spots suspending over points - when you find 'em, you can catch a bunch fast. These bass put up a great fight on light tackle, making them a favorite for many Lanier regulars.
Striped Bass
Striped Bass are the bruisers of Lake Lanier, commonly 10-20 pounds with some topping 30. These hard-pulling fish roam the lake in schools, following bait and cooler water. You'll find them deep in summer, often 30-60 feet down, and shallower in spring and fall. Stripers are most active at dawn and dusk, creating surface feeding frenzies that'll get your heart racing. Anglers love 'em for their powerful runs and excellent table fare. To hook up, try live bait like blueback herring or gizzard shad on downlines or planer boards. For artificial action, big bucktails and swimbaits work well. Pro tip: Watch for diving birds - they'll lead you right to feeding stripers. These fish give you a serious workout, so hang on tight when you hook one!
