March is finally here and it is time for Spring. Two patterns will develop in March. Some of the stripers will be in the creeks and some of the stripers will be in open water.

What does this February hold for the stripers on Lake Lanier is a good question. It all comes down to the weather. After a very cold December and early January the weather has now bounced around all over the place.

Hard to believe another year has passed. In the month of January look for the striped bass fishing on Lanier to be very dependent on the weather.

If the ice or an extended cold front with a week of sub freezing weather shows up […] The post January 2017 appeared first on Catching Not Fish...

The striper fishing on Lanier has been as hot as the weather. The fish are headed south for the colder deeper water and are feeding heavily. Look for the bite to get even better in July.
