On the Water

Fishing Oakwood

While Oakwood itself is inland, it sits within easy reach of the incredible fishing opportunities on Lake Lanier. We often depart from marinas on the lake to target the abundant striped bass population. These powerful fish are a blast to catch, offering a serious fight for anglers of all skill levels. Depending on the season, we'll employ different tactics, from trolling large plugs in the warmer months to jigging spoons or casting bucktails when the water cools. A charter trip heading out towards the Oakwood area means experiencing the beauty of North Georgia's premier lake while pursuing one of its most exciting game fish.

Fishing Oakwood FAQ

What are the best methods for catching striped bass near Oakwood?

We utilize a variety of techniques, including trolling with planer boards and large plugs during warmer months, and jigging spoons or casting bucktails in cooler periods. Live bait can also be very effective.

How does the striped bass bite change throughout the year?

In the spring and fall, striped bass are often found in shallower waters and are more aggressive. Summer sees them moving to deeper, cooler water, requiring different approaches. Winter fishing can be excellent when they school up.
