Lake Lanier Fishing Report by Shane Watson's Lake Lanier Guide Service Telephone: (770)-889-5549 or (770)-235-9830 URL: http://www.lakelanierstripers.com E-Mail address: SWstriperfishing@aol.com Lake Lanier Fishing Report for July, 2008 Lake Level---------- down 14.35 feet Surface temp. ------ 84 degrees Water Clarity------Main Lake is clear STRIPERS The striper fishing is great on Lake Lanier right now. Our boats are catching many fish on down line blue backs fished from 40-60 feet deep over a 70-100 ft bottom. There are fish in the mouth to the middle of Flowery Branch, Flat, Orr, 4 Mile, 6 mile, 2 mile, Big Creek, and in the stretch from Browns Bridge up to Gainesville Marina. The night bite is fair using down line blue backs under the Hydro-glow light. The late morning lead core bite is really good using a 1.0 oz. white or chartreuse and blue jig tipped with a live blueback, 7 to 8 colors out at 3.0 mph. Troll these baits over the creek channels in the areas mentioned above. You can purchase blue backs at Hammond’s Fishing and Boat Storage (770-888-6898). Bass The bass fishing is good on Lake Lanier right now. We have gotten many good reports from folks using Sammies, jerk baits, and smoking green finesse worms. The nighttime Bill Norman crank bait bite is strong using the dark red and dark blue. Crappie We have had many reports of people using minnows around bridges and docks under the Hydroglow light. You can expect to catch crappie, white bass, and small stripers under the light. This monthly fishing report is brought to you by Shane Watson Guide Service, your #1 choice for a successful day of striper fishing on Lake Lanier. Brighten someone's day. Take a kid or elderly person fishing this week. It will brighten your day as well. God bless, good fishing, and have a great day on the lake.
