Lake Lanier Fishing Guides Wes Carlton fished out of bait today. We had three clients from Roswell today. The Striped Bass started biting at 8am and never stopped! I had to go and buy more bait half way during the trip today. The fish were upper lake Gainesville Marina area. Down lined Bluebacks seemed to work best today. Most of the fish we caught today were in the 17ft to 30ft range. We used a short 4ft leader, and 1 1/4oz weight. These fish were aggressive and strong!
