Wintertime Lake Lanier Striper Fishing

Report Date: December 8, 2008

Shane Watson Guide Service Monday Report. Since my last report the striper fishing on Lake Lanier hasn't changed much. The fish are still surfacing most mornings before the passing of a cold front and you can catch stripers on freelined and planerboard trout, bluebacks, and gizzard shad. Leadhead flukes and bucktail jigs are also working on these rolling fish. We have also done well trolling Capt. Mack's 3 arm u-rigs thru the diving birds and rolling fish. There has also been a decent spoon bite. There are groups of fish scattered both north and south. Down south the loons are becoming more of a distraction as the seagulls all are around them. We like to see the birds diving, preferably without any loons around. Overall, the striper fishing remains about the same. It's been good most days, but these passing wintertime cold fronts can make it unpredictable. This report is brought to you by Shane Watson Guide Service and Hammond's Fishing Center. Good Fishing and we appreciate everyone's business.
