Fishing Lake Lanier

Lake Lanier is the heart of our operation and a premier destination for anglers targeting striped bass. This vast reservoir offers diverse habitats, from shallow coves to deep, open water, providing excellent conditions for these powerful fish year-round. We customize each trip to the current bite, whether that means trolling large plugs along the channel edges in the summer heat, casting bucktails and jigs in the spring and fall, or employing live bait when the fish are finicky. Departing from our home base in Buford, GA, a charter on Lake Lanier means a full day of exciting action and the chance to battle some truly impressive striped bass. The scenery alone is worth the trip, but the fishing is what keeps anglers coming back.
