Lake Burton Fishing Report
Water Temp. 58deg
Level 4ft low and dropping to winter drawdown
Clarity: clear
Bass.
The bass have finally settled into a normal fall pattern with most of the fish up shallow and feeding great. We have caught some really good spots and large mouth on top water the last few trips. Try using a small top water bait ( Sammy) Strike King etc. Herring colors always work best. Crank baits will start working over the next few weeks. I like using a 5 to 7 ft diving crank bait in a yellow perch or Bream color.
Brown Trout
The adult Brown Trout are finishing up their spawn. They are congregated up in the creeks. They will soon start their pilgrimage back down the lake to the main lake channels over the next few weeks. The lake has been stocked with a lot of small Trout. These fish are aggressive and easy to catch. Any type of spinner, small crank bait or small jerk bait works well! These fish are scattered all over the lake from one end to the other.
Walleye
The Walleye have moved up on the main lake points and humps. These fish are feeding shallow the first few hours of daylight and feeding several hours throughout the night if you are able to stay out late enough to catch them. We have been casting chrome jerk baits over these fish with a slow steady roll of the Reel. They are not very aggressive and sometimes take several cast to a specific area to catch one. The Walleye we have been catching lately have been healthy (3 to 5lbs). These fish should continue to feed on this same pattern over the next few weeks. Look for rocky bottom or heavy timber near these shallow water points and humps. They like heavy cover when they are not up feeding.
Good luck!

Lake Lanier Fishing Report
September 11, 2015 – 2:03 am
The Striped Bass Action has been great this summer. We have been fishing on some really big schools on the south end of the lake. Moat of the fish we are catching seem to be healty this year. The peak bite seem to be in the afternoon hours midday. Lake Lanier Buford Dam releases water daily although the times vary but the bite is better when the Corps of enginners are releasing water. Most of the fish we have been catching the last few days have been in the 80 to 100ft depths. Some of these Striped Bass are in 20lbs range. Thats not a big fish fornLake Lanier bit very nice for summer time.
Come join us for a Lake Lanier Guided fishing trip.

Lake Burton Fishing Report
Water Temp: 76deg
Clarity: clear
Level: full pool
Trout
The trout bite has been slow the last week or so. We have managed to catch a few bigger fish in deep water with live Herring. These fish are holding over a 60 to 80ft bottom. We have marked some really big schools of smaller fish but to no avail. These fish will start biting with the cooler fronts that usually come in towards the beginning of October. As the water temps drop into the low 70s and high 60s we should see a top water small spoon or fluke bite. The trout population seems to be the best I have seen in years. The fall and winter bite should be unreal this year.
Bass
The bass bite has really picked up over the last few days. We have been landing some healthy Spotted Bass and Large Mouths. Most of these fish have been out over the main lake channels. We have been catching them with crank baits in the 20 to 30 ft depths. Look for the bass to pull up shallow over the next few weeks. The Spook and Sammy bite will peak as the water cools a little into the 60deg range. Most of the bait fish that the bass are chasing are very small 2in. Try casting small flukes on ultra lite gear.
Walleye
October is a great month to target a North Georgia Trophy Walleye. These fish have been deep all Summer and will be looking for those shallow water baitfish schools. Try trolling small tiger pattern Rapalas or Yo-Zuri crank baits size 5 or 7. Slow the boat speed a little 2.4 mph. Try trolling deep water ledges where there are rock outcroppings or dense brush. The Walleye are very structure oriented and always keep close to structure.
Good Luck!

Lake Lanier Fishing Report
August 13, 2015 – 9:23 am
Dog days are here. The Striped Bass action has been hot!! The water temp is still in the 80’s and the fish are still hanging on the south end of Lake Lanier. We have been catching most of our fish over a 100ft bottom. These fish are grouped up tight in big schools. The Capt. Mack Bucktail bite has turned on. Try dropping these jigs down through the Stripped Bass schools and reeling up very fast while stopping to pause briefly. Just hold on to yhe rod because when they hit its like a frieght train running on the end of your line!
