It's not just fishing – it's a full-on Georgia outdoor experience.

Tactics for Trophy Bass

On this trip, we pull out all the stops to put you on fish. We might start the morning trolling for stripers, using downriggers to get our baits right in the strike zone. As the sun climbs, we'll switch gears and hit some offshore structure, dropping live bait to tempt those big boys lurking in the depths. For spotted bass, we'll work the banks with finesse tactics – think drop shots and shakey heads around docks and laydowns. Our guides are masters at reading the lake, so we'll adjust on the fly to whatever's working. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time holding a rod, we'll have you catching fish like a pro in no time.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth Bass: The king of freshwater game fish, Lake Lanier's largemouth can top 10 pounds. These bucket-mouthed bruisers love to ambush prey around structure. We target them year-round, but spring and fall see some epic topwater action that'll get your heart racing. There's nothing like seeing a big largemouth blast your buzzbait!

Spotted Bass: Don't let their size fool you – pound for pound, spots are some of the hardest fighting fish in the lake. These aggressive feeders school up on points and humps, making for fast action when you find them. They're a blast on light tackle, and their acrobatic jumps will test your drag system. Late spring and early summer are prime time for numbers, but big spots are caught year-round.

White Bass: When these silver rockets are running, it's non-stop action. White bass school up and chase bait to the surface, creating exciting "boils" that can stretch for acres. Spring sees huge numbers pushing up the rivers to spawn, but summer and fall can produce some great schooling action too. They're perfect for introducing kids to fishing – hard-hitting and abundant.

Striped Bass: The heavyweight champs of Lake Lanier, stripers will put your arms and gear to the test. These line-stripping monsters can top 40 pounds, and when they hit, you'd better hold on tight! We target them year-round, but winter and early spring often see the biggest fish of the year come to the boat. There's nothing quite like the thrill of battling a big striper in deep water.

Flathead Catfish: The river monsters of Lake Lanier, flatheads are ambush predators that grow to massive sizes. While we primarily target bass, hooking into one of these whiskered giants is always a possibility, especially when fishing live bait near the river channels. They're most active at night, but big flatheads will feed during the day too. Landing a 40+ pounder is a true trophy catch!
