Birds Galore 

<div>The deepwater bite is back on for the winter which means downlines with blueback herring or trout. Search the river channel, creek channels, creek backs, and adjacent ditches with bait fish on your sonar to find your starting points. In the creeks add weighted freelines into the mix with your downlines. There is still a good "Mini Mack" bite in the creeks. If you fished with me in September, you might have seen these minis go to work. However, our speed is going to be a lot slower this time of year. We call it stealth trolling. A series of minis either behind the boat or pulled on planer boards at about 1.5mph with the trolling motor, just enough to give it action will get those picky fish to react. You can find plenty of these rigs at Hammond's Fishing Center and I personally like the 4 blade Mini Macks on both the bucktails and shad bodies</div>

That did the trick, and before long, we had another few Striped bass in the boat.The fish were active and aggressive, and we had a blast watching the boys reel them in.

Chasing Monster Stripers on Lake Lanier: An Unforgettable Fishing Adventure

What a day we had on the water at Sardis Creek Park on Lake Lanier! I was thrilled to guide Chris and his crew of four anglers on a 5-Hour Private Fishing Trip with No Excuses Striper Fishing. March is a prime time for fishing on Lake Lanier, as the warming waters bring the gamefish like Largemouth Black Bass, Striped Bass, Florida Bass, and Spotted Bass closer to the surface, making for some fantastic action.

The weather was perfect - clear conditions all day long. We launched the boat and made our way out onto the sparkling waters of Lake Lanier, excited to see what the day would hold. We started off with some deep-sea fishing, then switched it up to jigging and trolling, trying different techniques to dial in on the fish. It wasn't long before the rods started bending, and the crew was hooked up with some feisty Largemouth Black Bass and Striped Bass. The Spotted Bass put up a great fight too, keeping us on our toes.

Throughout the day, the fishing remained strong, and we had a blast working the lake. The guys were all smiles, swapping stories and enjoying the beautiful scenery as we moved from spot to spot. It's moments like these that make these Lake Lanier fishing trips so special - not just the fish you catch, but the overall experience of being out on the water, surrounded by nature, with good company. By the time we called it a day, the coolers were full, and everyone was talking about when they could come back.

Winter/pre spawn Fishing 

<div>Right now the seagulls are a big help in finding Stripers. Choosing the right bait can be a little tricky. What's working good is large shinners pulled on weighted and no weighted planer boards. Also trolling Capt Macks Mini Mack is working also. I troll them at 1.1to 1.5 mph with my trolling motor about 80 ft behind the boat which puts your rig about 20 ft deep.&nbsp; The striper pre-spawn is fast approaching so I throw in a nice fat gizzard shad on a planer float about 100ft behind the boat. Some good quality fish are being caught right now just not big numbers yet. Tight Lines ,and let's go catching. Thanks Captain Brad 🎣🎣🐟🐟💪🏼</div>

<div>decided to run up the rivers and see if the stripers have made it up there yet. We found a few but not as many as I was hoping It's still a little early</div>

It was a great day to be out on the lake, and I'm so glad I had the chance to take a scouting trip with Brett McNeill. We headed out onto beautiful Lake Lanier for an afternoon of fishing, and our expectations were high. I caught a 4-pound largemouth bass on nothing but a 1/16-ounce Crappie jig.
