On the Water
Fishing Cumming
Cumming sits close to the northern reaches of Lake Lanier, and the fishing opportunities here for Striped Bass are excellent. This large reservoir provides diverse habitats for stripers, from shallow coves in the spring to deep, open water in the summer. We'll target them by trolling deep diving lures, casting bucktail jigs, and using live bait when conditions are right. Striped bass fishing on Lanier is dynamic; spring sees them moving up creeks to feed, while summer requires finding their preferred cooler, oxygen-rich depths. Fall brings them together in large schools, making for exciting fishing. Your charter experience will originate from our Buford, GA home base, heading out to the prime spots on the lake that serve anglers from the Cumming area.
