The Striper Experience - Lake Lanier Fishing Guide

TSE got a couple of crews out for their Striper Experiences this morning. Thanks Ryan for getting the Coxs out. I had the pleasure to get the Riveras out.

A little looking yesterday mid day lead to an awful great morning today. Thanks DST for getting back on the water with your customers.

Thank you Brian and Garry for giving Andy and his fraternity crew their Striper Experience this morning. We snuck away and got on the mountain.

Yesterday morning was a great day to be on the pond. We were able to get 8 boats full of some amazing people on the water. These guys are tip of the spear kind of guys from SW GA. It was a privilege to get to get to fish with them. Thank you Josh, Ryan, Rob, Garry, Brian, Alex, and Chris for helping out today.

Jake and Sara give me hope with the 20 somethens. These two entrepreneurs are inspiring. Let me know if you want some amazing landscape upgrades, you need your horse boarded, a Christmas tree, or your dog or horse chiropractically adjusted. I'm telling you they are hard working and have a 2 year old. Thank you Lichtenwalners for being great repeat customers over the years

Some days are easier than others, but if you are complacent and sit around in one area and don't move around looking for fish you are not working for your customers. Lots of work today, but we picked them off one here two there. Here's a few. Thanks Law Contracting for your annual trip.

The stripers have moved into their normal deep-water summer pattern. You may still find a few fish in main-lake pockets early, but most are holding on creek and river channels in 90–120 feet of water.

Downlines are still the best bet, but depth control and lively bait are critical this time of year. The power-reeling bite is still a great option.

In the full report, I cover where the fish are setting up, how deep to fish your downlines, how often to change your herring and what to use for power reeling.
