On the Water
Fishing Suwanee
While Suwanee itself is a vibrant city, the real fishing action for Striped Bass is out on Lake Lanier. This massive reservoir offers deep, open water perfect for these powerful fish. We'll be looking for them in the main lake channels, around points, and over submerged humps. Stripers on Lanier are a year-round pursuit, though their behavior changes with the seasons. Spring brings them shallow to feed as the water warms, while summer often sees them holding in deeper, cooler water. Fall is another fantastic time as they school up aggressively. A trip targeting Suwanee anglers typically departs from our Buford, GA base, and we'll make our way to the best spots on the lake for a memorable day of striped bass fishing.
