Shane Watson's Lake Lanier Fishing Report: Striper Fishing is Good

Shane Watson Fishing Guide Service — Shane Watson Guide Service

lakelanier.com is thankful for this Shane Watson Guide Service Report, dated 12-14-13.

The stripers are on a typical wintertime pattern on Lake Lanier with mornings & afternoons being about the same. Look for the seagulls and loons diving. Cast a leadhead fluke to rolling stripers. Freelined trout & bluebacks are also working well when the fish are up shallow.

Watch your electronics as we’ve done well on downlined trout and spoons when the fish have been deeper and bunched up on the screen. Capt. Mack’s 4 arm shad body u-rigs fished 100 feet out at 3.0 mph are also working well. If you can see them on the graph, they will bite the u-rig almost every time in the winter.

The northend and southend have been about equal the past couple of weeks, but we’ve also caught fish in the usual wintertime mid lake creeks. We are also catching and releasing some really nice spotted bass that are mixed in with the stripers.
