Lake Lanier Fishing Charters trip customer catches 40lbs. Striped Bass!

Despite a cold winter it seems we have re-bounded with warm temperatures. The fish have come alive from their dormancy. The trout bite has begun! We have been catching Brown trout on small crank baits (td spawn,sc shinners). The spotted bass have been biting the drop shot rig with a four inch robo worm brown. Most of our fish were in 20 to 25ft of water. We had several fish in the 4 to 5lbs range. WALLEYE: early February we marked several big schools on the south end of Lakes Rabun and Seed. These fish were slow to bite. This weekend was a different story. These fish have moved up the lake fast and have started biting. The fish have ranged in size from 16″ to 4lbs. They are biting the drop shot rig tipped with medium Crappie minnows. The bigger fish are only a week or so from spawning if the temperatures hold. Shad raps as well as floating Rapalas (bright colors) will work well if trolled or thrown. There is a good chance the state record Walleye may be caught this spring!
