Surface temperatures at Lake Lanier are
creeping above 60 degrees, and the lake level is about 15 feet below normal
pool and rising. Spring has finally arrived and Lake Lanier's fish are feeding
heavily, especially bass, stripers, and crappies.
Stripers are being
caught in 5 to 20 feet of water on live herring and 1/4 ounce Swirleybird
spinners near the backs of major creek channels. Crappies have moved into
brush all over the lake, and are beginning to spawn. The big spotted bass are
going nuts chasing 3/16th and 1/8th ounce Swirleybirds in less than 10 feet of
water, and "Swirleybird Season" has begun and will get better as the water
warms!
We're actively booking
jet boat trips for walleyes, stripers, and shoal bass on the upper
Chattahoochee River. We're also beginning to book father/son or
mother/daughter trips to see the wildlife and seasonal changes with the jet
boat.
Trout fishing in the Chattahoochee River
below the dam for both rainbow and browns has been fantastic! Most trout are
being caught during lower water levels on Swirleybird spinners, small spoons,
and smaller crankbaits. Jet boat trips are great for this type of fishing,
just call 770-289-1543.
Many thanks for the
great day on the lake yesterday. David did filet and freeze the fish when
we got home. I am back in LA with my memories. Thanks also for taking
the photos and looking forward to receiving some from you. I will forward
them to David at home.
Had a wonderful day.
Who would believe 40 FISH!!!!!!!! See you next spring and/or summer.

It is always best to hire a good guide
with proper equipment to "learn the ropes". This crucial
indoctrination can be accomplished in the comfort of a special jet boat by
