21 NOV 2024 · As of November 21, 2024, Lake Lanier in Georgia is offering some excellent fishing opportunities despite the ongoing lake turnover. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Lake Conditions
Lake Lanier is currently about 2.5 feet below the full pool level of 1071 feet, and the water temperature is around 69 degrees. The clarity varies, with the main lake being clear but the creeks and rivers showing some staining due to the turnover process. This turnover, where cooler water sinks and pushes deeper water to the surface, can make the water appear darker and sometimes produce foam and an odor.
### Weather and Time
Sunrise today is at around 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:14 PM. The weather is expected to be mild, with temperatures in the 70s, making it a comfortable day for fishing.
### Fish Activity
Bass fishing on Lake Lanier is fair to good. The topwater bite is still active, especially in windy areas with humps and long points. Look for surface activity scattered across the lake, and be prepared to move around to find the best spots. Lures like the Lip Thrasin Riser, Ima Skimmer, swimbaits, and Spot Chokers have been effective for the topwater bite. For deeper fishing, the dropshot around brush and ledges in the 25- to 35-foot range using a Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worm has been productive. The shakey head bite around docks and blow downs in the 15-foot range is also yielding results.
Stripers are moving north to the upper creeks and rivers, seeking oxygen. Check ditches, humps, and feeder creeks where they intersect with the channel. Down lines, flat lines, and planer boards are effective, along with bluebacks, threads, and minnows. Dollar bill size gizzards can also provide some excitement.
### Best Lures and Bait
For bass, topwater lures such as the Lip Thrasin Riser, Ima Skimmer, and swimbaits are working well. In sunny conditions, chrome-colored lures are preferred, while white or bone colors work better on cloudy days. For deeper fishing, use a dropshot with a Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worm, or a shakey head with a Zoom Trick worm in green patterns.
For stripers, bluebacks, threads, and minnows are the go-to baits. Planer boards weighted and unweighted flat lines, along with topwater lures like Whopper Ploppers and Mcsticks, can be effective.
### Hot Spots
- **Upper Creeks and Rivers**: These areas are good for stripers as they move north seeking oxygen.
- **Humps and Long Points**: These spots are ideal for topwater bass fishing, especially in windy areas.
- **Docks in the 15-foot Range**: These areas are producing fish with shakey head setups and around blow downs.
Remember, the lake turnover can make fishing a bit more challenging, but the fish are still biting. So, gear up and enjoy your day on Lake Lanier

17 NOV 2024 · As of November 17, 2024, Lake Lanier is offering some exciting fishing opportunities despite the ongoing seasonal changes. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Conditions
- **Sunrise and Sunset**: Sunrise is at 6:58 AM, and sunset is at 5:28 PM. Nautical twilight begins at 6:01 AM and ends at 6:25 PM[1].
- **Moon**: The moon is in its waxing gibbous phase, rising at 1:19 PM and setting at 11:36 PM. This phase can be beneficial for night fishing due to the increased moonlight[1].
- **Water Level and Temperature**: The lake is currently about 2.1 feet below full pool, with water temperatures in the low to mid-70s. Water clarity varies due to the yearly turnover, which can make fishing a bit more challenging but still productive[4].
### Fish Activity
- **Bass**: Bass fishing is fair to good. The top water bite is still active, especially in windy areas with humps and long points. Lures like the Lip Thrashin Riser, Ima Skimmer, swimbaits, and Spot Chokers are effective. For deeper fishing, use a dropshot with a Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worm around brush and ledges in the 25- to 35-foot range. The shakey head bite around docks and blow downs is also producing fish[2][4].
- **Stripers**: Stripers are actively seeking oxygen, so focus on contours that create more movement like ditches, humps, and feeder creeks intersecting with the channel. Down lines, flat lines, and planer boards with bluebacks, threads, and minnows are working well. Large schools of stripers have been seen schooling on top at random times, particularly at the south end of the lake but also moving northward[4][5].
### Best Lures and Bait
- For bass, topwater baits such as the Lip Thrashin Riser and Ima Skimmer are good choices. For deeper fishing, use a dropshot with a Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worm.
- For stripers, the Berkley Magic Swimmer and Berkley Driftwalker are highly effective topwater baits. If using live bait, freelines with blueback herring 100 feet behind the boat can be very productive[5].
### Hot Spots
- **Windy Areas with Humps and Long Points**: These areas are ideal for topwater bass fishing.
- **Docks and Blow Downs**: Look for docks in the 15-foot range and work all areas around and in the dock for bass.
- **Ditches, Humps, and Feeder Creeks**: These areas are key for finding stripers as they intersect with the channel[2][4].
Overall, Lake Lanier is in a good state for fishing, with various species active and a range of effective lures and baits to use. Be prepared to adapt to the changing water conditions due to the seasonal turnover.

**Weather and Lake Conditions:**
The lake level is currently down about 2.1 feet from full pool, and the water temperature is in the low to mid-70s. The water clarity varies, with some areas clearer than others due to the yearly turnover, which can bring darker colored water, foam, and an odor. However, the overall clarity is still good, especially considering the recent rain.
**Sunrise and Sunset:**
Sunrise today is at around 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:14 PM. These times are crucial for planning your fishing trips, especially for those targeting surface activity.
**Fish Activity:**
Bass fishing on Lake Lanier is fair to good. The topwater bite is still active, with surface activity scattered across the lake. Look for windy areas with humps and long points where bass tend to congregate. Effective topwater lures include the Lip Thrashin Riser, Ima Skimmer, swimbaits, and Spot Chokers. For deeper fishing, the dropshot has been working well around brush and ledges in the 25- to 35-foot range using Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worms. The Shakey head bite around docks and blow downs in the 15-foot range has also been productive.
Stripers are actively schooling on the surface, particularly in the south end of the lake, although they can quickly move further north. These schools can be very large and visible from several hundred yards away. For stripers, topwater baits like the Berkley Magic Swimmer and Berkley Driftwalker are highly effective. If using live bait, freelines with blueback herring 100 feet behind the boat can yield good results, especially when pulled across humps and points.
**Best Lures and Bait:**
For bass, focus on topwater lures such as the Lip Thrashin Riser, Ima Skimmer, and swimbaits. For deeper fishing, use dropshot rigs with Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worms. For stripers, the Berkley Magic Swimmer and Berkley Driftwalker are top choices, along with live blueback herring on freelines.
**Hot Spots:**
The south end of the lake is a key area for stripers, but they can also be found further north. For bass, target windy areas with humps and long points, as well as docks and blow downs in the 15-foot range. Ditches, humps, and feeder creeks where they intersect with the channel are also good spots for stripers.
**Safety:**
Remember to wear your life jacket, especially when using planer boards and down lines.
With the right gear and knowledge of the lake's current conditions, you're set for a productive day of fishing on Lake Lanier. Good luck on the water

The lake level is currently down about 2.1 feet from full pool, and the water temperature is in the low to mid-70s. Water clarity varies across the lake due to the yearly turnover, which can make the water darker and produce foam and an odor. However, this doesn't deter the fish entirely.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise today is at around 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:14 PM. These times are crucial for planning your fishing trips, especially for the early morning and evening bites.
### Fish Activity
Bass fishing on Lake Lanier is fair to good. The top water bite is still active, with surface activity scattered across the lake. Look for windy areas with humps and long points where lures like the Lip Thrashin Riser, Ima Skimmer, swimbaits, and Spot Chokers have been effective.

Down lines, flat lines, and planer boards with bluebacks, threads, and minnows are the most effective methods. Dollar bill size gizzards can also provide some excitement, especially up the rivers.
### Best Lures and Bait
For bass, top water lures like the Lip Thrashin Riser and Ima Skimmer are good choices. For deeper fishing, use a dropshot with a Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worm. A Shakey head setup with a Net Bait Finesse Worm in Key Lime Pie or Paca Melon around docks and blow downs is also recommended.
For stripers, use down lines, flat lines, and planer boards with bluebacks, threads, and minnows. Gizzards, especially those the size of a dollar bill, can be very effective.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots is the mid-section of the lake, particularly around main lake points and flats. Another area to focus on is the docks in the 15-foot range, working all areas around and within the dock. For stripers, concentrate on ditches, humps, and feeder creeks where they intersect with the channel.
### Additional Tips
The evening and night bites are getting better, so consider fishing steep rock banks with a ½ ounce black Punisher Spinnerbait or crank baits like the Norman DD22 in midnight blue after dark. Always fish slowly and methodically, especially during the turnover period, as this can make the fish more challenging to catch.
Remember to wear your life jacket and stay safe on the water. Enjoy your fishing trip on Lake Lanier

9 NOV 2024 · As of November 9, 2024, Lake Lanier is offering some exciting fishing opportunities despite the ongoing lake turnover. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
First, the lake level is currently down by about 2.1 feet from full pool, and the water temperature is in the low 70s, which is ideal for fall fishing. The water clarity is generally clear, although the turnover process is causing some areas to be darker and have a distinct odor.
For bass fishing, the top water bite is still active, with surface activity scattered across the lake. Look for windy areas with humps and long points, and use lures like the Lip Thrasin Riser, Ima Skimmer, swimbaits, and Spot Chokers. The dropshot technique is also effective around brush and ledges in the 25- to 35-foot range, using Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worms. The shakey head bite around docks and blow downs is producing fish as well, especially in the 15-foot range.
Stripers are on the move, seeking oxygen-rich areas. Check contours that create more movement, such as ditches, humps, and feeder creeks where they intersect with the channel. Down lines, flat lines, and planer boards are the most effective methods, using bluebacks, threads, and minnows. Dollar bill size gizzards can also provide some excitement.
The weather for today is expected to be partly cloudy with mild temperatures, making it a great day to be out on the water. Sunrise is at 6:51 AM, and sunset is at 5:14 PM.
Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of bass and stripers. For bass, several fish were caught using the mentioned top water lures and dropshot techniques. Stripers were found in the creeks, particularly in areas with plenty of bait, and were caught using medium shiners on flat lines and planer boards.
Hot spots include the areas around the ditches and humps, especially where they intersect with the channel. The river channel near the Spanish mansion on the point in Flat Creek has been productive for stripers. For bass, focus on the docks in the 15-foot range and the brush and ledges in the 25- to 35-foot range.
Remember to keep an eye on the wind and bait movement, as these are key factors in locating active fish. With the cooler weather forecast, the fishing should only get better, so it’s a great time to get out there and catch some fish.

8 NOV 2024 · As of November 8, 2024, Lake Lanier in Georgia is transitioning into its fall fishing patterns, and the conditions are quite favorable for anglers.
### Weather and Water Conditions
The water temperature on Lake Lanier has cooled down to the low to mid-seventies, which is typical for this time of year. The lake level is about one and a half feet below full pool. The water clarity varies from area to area due to the yearly turnover, where the cooler water on top begins to sink and push deeper water to the surface. This turnover can sometimes make the water appear darker and may have a slight odor, but it doesn't seem to be deterring the fish from biting.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise today is around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 6:00 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and evening fishing trips.
### Fish Activity
The fish activity on Lake Lanier is quite active, especially for stripers and bass. Stripers are looking for oxygen and can be found in areas with more movement such as ditches, humps, and feeder creeks where they intersect with the channel. For bass, the top water bite has been particularly good, especially in windy areas with humps and long points.
### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
Yesterday saw a good number of stripers caught using downlines, flat lines, and planer boards. Blueback herring, threadfin shad, and minnows have been the most effective baits. For bass, the schooling activity has improved significantly, with many spotted bass feeding on shad in the creeks. The bass are often found in 15 to 20 feet on the main and secondary points.
### Best Lures and Bait
For stripers, using blueback herring, threadfin shad, and minnows on downlines, flat lines, and planer boards has been highly effective. Up the rivers, dollar bill size gizzards are also producing some exciting catches.
For bass, the top water bite is strong with lures like the Lip Thrashin Riser, Ima Skimmer, swimbaits, and Spot Chokers. When the bass are not schooling, a dropshot rigged with a Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worm around brush and ledges in the 25-35 foot range has been working well. Shakey head setups around docks and blow downs are also producing fish.
### Hot Spots
Some hot spots to consider include the channels and channel edges where stripers are actively pursuing bait. For bass, focus on the mouths of the creeks to about halfway back, where the schooling activity is intense. Windy areas with humps and long points are also prime spots for top water bites.
Remember to keep an eye on your electronics to locate the schools of fish and adjust your tactics accordingly. And always wear your life jacket for safety.

7 NOV 2024 · As of November 7, 2024, Lake Lanier is offering some exciting fishing opportunities despite the ongoing lake turnover. The lake level is currently about 2.5 feet below full pool, and the water temperature has dropped to around 69 degrees, with clarity varying across the lake due to the turnover.
For those planning to head out, sunrise is at about 6:45 AM, and sunset will be around 5:15 PM. The weather is expected to be cool, which is typical for this time of year, and this cooler weather is driving the fish to be more active.
Bass fishing on Lake Lanier is fair to good. The top water bite is still active, particularly in windy areas with humps and long points. Lures like the Lip Thrashin Riser, Ima Skimmer, swimbaits, and Spot Chokers are proving effective. For those targeting bass in deeper waters, a dropshot rigged with a Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worm around brush and ledges in the 25- to 35-foot range is recommended. The shakey head bite around docks in the 15-foot range is also producing fish.
Striper fishing is also promising, with fish moving north to the upper creeks and rivers in search of oxygen. Using blue backs, gizzards, and threadfins on down lines, flat lines, and planer boards is effective. Top water bites using Whopper Ploppers and Mcsticks can be explosive but short-lived, so be ready to react quickly.
Crappie fishing remains good, with crappie suspended 10 to 15 feet deep over 20- to 40-foot bottoms. Crappie minnows, black and chartreuse jigs, and green and chartreuse hair jigs are the go-to choices. Fishing over brush or structure with a slow retrieval is key.
Hot spots include the deep end of long points, humps, and ledges, especially where there is brush and shad activity. The river channels and channel edges are also productive for stripers. For crappie, focus on areas with brush piles in about 15 feet or less of water.
Remember to wear your life jackets and be prepared for the changing conditions due to the lake turnover. Despite these challenges, the fish are still biting, making it a great time to be out on Lake Lanier.

3 NOV 2024 · As of November 3, 2024, Lake Lanier in Georgia is offering some excellent fishing opportunities. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Lake Conditions
Lake Lanier is currently at a level of 2.5 feet below the full pool of 1071 feet, and the water temperature has cooled down to around 69 degrees. The lake is experiencing its annual turnover, which can affect clarity in some areas, but overall, the main lake remains clear while the creeks and rivers are somewhat stained.
### Weather and Time
Today, you can expect a crisp fall morning with the sun rising at around 6:54 AM and setting at 5:34 PM. The weather is mild, making it an ideal time to be out on the water.
### Fish Activity
Bass fishing is good right now. The bass have resumed their normal fall patterns, and the topwater bite is getting better each day. Look for shad balls over humps and long points, as these areas are attracting a lot of bass. Topwater lures such as the Lip Thrashin Riser, Slickstick, Sebile, and Ima Skimmer are working well, especially in chrome during sunny times and white or bone during cloudy periods. For deeper fishing, a three-ounce Spot Choker underspin with a three-inch Keitech is effective for both schooling and suspended fish. Around the docks, worms or jigs in green pumpkin or cinnamon pepper colors are also producing results.
Striper fishing is also active, with stripers moving north to the upper creeks and rivers. Blue backs and gizzards are popular baits, but threadfins blowing up on the surface are also a good choice. Planer boards with weighted and unweighted flat lines, along with topwater baits like Whopper Ploppers and Mcsticks, can be very effective.
Crappie fishing is good as well, with crappie suspended 10 to 15 feet deep over a 12 to 30 foot bottom. Crappie minnows and jigs, particularly black and chartreuse or green and chartreuse hair jigs, are working well. Use a slow retrieval and set minnows in rod holders over brush or structure.
### Hot Spots
For bass, focus on the humps and long points where shad balls are present. The main lake and areas around the creeks and rivers are good spots to start.
For stripers, head to the upper creeks and rivers where they are congregating. Areas like the south end of the lake near the dam and the river channels are also productive.
For crappie, target areas with brush or structure in the 12 to 30 foot depth range.
### Tips
Remember to adjust your lures and baits according to the weather and time of day. Always wear your life jackets and stay safe on the water.
It’s a great time to be out on Lake Lanier, so grab your gear and enjoy the fall fishing
