    Lake Lanier Fishing Report: Spotted Bass, Stripers, and Tactics for Success in North Georgia
    Dec 5 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Lake Lanier fishing rundown, straight from north Georgia dock talk.

    Sun came up around seven with a cool, clear morning, light north breeze and highs pushing into the 50s by afternoon. The lake fishes more like a big highland reservoir than anything tidal, so you’re working wind, light, and those solunar feeding windows instead of tides. Stable, cool weather has the fish a little lazy early, then feeding better as the sun gets up and pushes bait onto points and timber edges.

    Spotted bass are still the main show, with a sprinkling of largemouth if you poke around the very backs of creeks and any stained water. Most folks this week have been boating good numbers of 1.5–2.5 pound spots with an occasional three- to four‑pound kicker; think a half‑dozen to a dozen keepers on a solid half‑day if you stay on the pattern. Stripers and big hybrids have been roaming mid‑lake—more hit‑or‑miss but when you land on a school you can stick a couple fish in the teens in a hurry.

    Bass are pulled out on classic Lanier structure: long tapering points, humps in 20–35 feet, and standing timber edges off the creek channels. The bite is very much a vertical, electronics‑driven deal. Finesse swimbaits on 1/4‑ounce heads, drop shots with small shad‑style worms, and Ned rigs are doing work around bait balls and suspended spots. A translucent or natural shad color is money in that clear water, with a little chartreuse flash or a “weird” hue sometimes triggering those pressured fish. When the wind kicks up on the main lake, a medium‑running jerkbait or underspin slow‑rolled just off bottom can turn a tough day into a grind that pays.

    Striper folks are dragging live blueback herring and medium shiners on downlines and freelines over creek mouths and main‑lake ditches. Think 25–40 feet over deeper water, watching for birds and blowing bait. Umbrella rigs and heavy bucktail jigs with soft‑plastic trailers are backing up the live bait bite, especially when fish are a little deeper or scattered.

    Best baits right now:
    - Spotted bass: 3–4 inch finesse swimbaits, drop‑shot worms, Ned rigs, and suspending jerkbaits in natural shad patterns.
    - Largemouth: green pumpkin jigs and shaky heads around docks, laydowns, and any stained‑up pockets.
    - Stripers: live bluebacks, medium shiners, umbrella rigs, and 1–1.5 ounce bucktails with white or chartreuse plastics.

    A couple of hot spots to circle on your map:
    - Around Brown’s Bridge and the adjacent creek arms, working long points and timber edges for spots and roaming stripers.
    - The mouths of Six Mile and Two Mile, especially where bait is stacked over the channel bends and humps.

    Fish slow, trust your electronics, and don’t be afraid to grind through dead water until you see life—bait, arcs, or birds—then settle in and go to work.

  • Lake Lanier Winter Fishing Report: Finesse Tactics Dominate for Spotted Bass, Stripers, and Crappie

    Lake Lanier Winter Fishing Report: Finesse Tactics Dominate for Spotted Bass, Stripers, and Crappie
    Dec 4 2025
    Well, hey folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Lake Lanier fishing report for Thursday, December 4th, 2025.

    We're right in the thick of winter conditions here on the lake, and let me tell you, finesse techniques are absolutely dominating right now. The water's cold, the fish are lethargic, and they're not chasing those big flashy baits like they do in warmer months. You've got to dial it down and work those finesse presentations if you want to put fish in the boat.

    From what we've been seeing lately, hair jigs have been absolutely deadly on spotted bass around here. They're producing some really nice fish, and they work across all species. If you're looking to expand your arsenal beyond that, swimbaits and soft plastics have been solid choices too. Spinnerbaits are working when conditions allow, and don't sleep on your minnows either—they're producing bites when the action's slow.

    Bass, stripers, and crappie are all active right now, though you've got to be patient and methodical about your approach. These winter fish won't hand you anything on a silver platter.

    For your best bets on the lake, focus on areas where you've got isolated cover and slightly deeper water. The West Wall near the launch site has been productive for anglers who are putting in the work. Also, check out areas north of the main channels where fish tend to congregate during these colder months.

    Remember, winter fishing requires you to slow down your retrieve, downsize your presentations, and really focus on what's below you. Move deliberately and fish the edges where structure meets open water.

    Thanks for tuning in, folks! Make sure you subscribe to stay dialed in on all your Lake Lanier fishing intel. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Lake Lanier Fishing Report: Finesse Techniques Dominate in Winter Conditions

    Lake Lanier Fishing Report: Finesse Techniques Dominate in Winter Conditions
    Dec 3 2025
    Well, hey folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Lake Lanier fishing report for Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025.

    We're right in the thick of winter conditions here on the lake, and let me tell you, the finesse techniques are absolutely dominating what we're seeing on the water. The cold water has the bass locked in, and they're being a lot more selective about what they're biting.

    Here's what's been happening lately: our spotted bass and stripers have been coming strong on swimbaits and soft plastics. We're also seeing some really good crappie action, and the white bass are still active if you know where to look. The bite has been consistent with artificial lures – particularly spinnerbaits and swimbaits – so if you're heading out, leave the live bait at home and bring your tackle box loaded with these options.

    For your lure selection, blade baits and tail spinners are producing well right now. If you're fishing shallow, work those areas around structure and drop-offs. The BT Spin tail has been getting some serious attention from anglers I've talked to on the water.

    I'd recommend focusing your efforts around the upper end of the lake near the dam where we've got good depth changes, and don't overlook the creek channels – the structure there is holding plenty of fish right now in these cold conditions.

    Lake Lanier's been fishing solid through this winter transition, and with finesse approaches, you're going to put fish in the boat. Get out there and stay focused on those artificial presentations.

    Thanks so much for tuning in to the Lake Lanier fishing report. Make sure you subscribe for daily updates on what's happening here at the lake. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out quietplease.ai.

  • Lake Lanier Winter Bassmaster - Finesse Techniques Dominate Cold Conditions

    Lake Lanier Winter Bassmaster - Finesse Techniques Dominate Cold Conditions
    Dec 2 2025
    # Lake Lanier Fishing Report – December 2, 2025

    Well, hey folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Lake Lanier report on this Tuesday morning. We're right in the thick of winter conditions out here, and I'm telling you, the fishing has been solid if you know what you're doing.

    **The Setup**

    We're looking at cold water temperatures right now, which means the fish have shifted their patterns pretty significantly from what we saw just a few weeks back. The bass are relating to deeper structure, and they're keying in on smaller forage fish—mainly threadfin shad and smaller gizzard shad in the 2-4 inch range. This is prime time for finesse presentations.

    **What's Working**

    Here's the real deal: throw those massive swimbaits aside. A 3-inch swimbait rigged on a light jighead is absolutely crushing it right now. The pros are using 3/8 to 1/2-ounce VMC Moon Eye Jigs on spinning rods with light tips. If you're fishing the deeper, clearer areas—and Lanier's got plenty of that—you're looking at depths between 25 and 45 feet. Work those jigheads slowly along the bottom, letting them flutter down on slack line. The bite is subtle in cold water, so pay attention.

    On shallower structure, hair jigs are producing spotted bass consistently. The anglers are also reporting success with drop-shot rigs using small finesse worms in natural colors—think green pumpkin and black shad.

    **Prime Locations**

    Head to the main river channel areas and creek arms where you've got sharp edges and points dropping into deeper water. Those transition zones from 10 to 20 feet are loaded with bait concentrations right now. Look for red clay points—Lanier's known for them—and focus on little pockets where creeks feed into the main lake structure. The fish are staging near these areas because the forage is there. Secondary points and ditches in the 8 to 12-foot range have also been producing some quality bass.

    **Current Conditions**

    The cold-water pattern means the bass aren't moving much. They're hunkered down in stable, deep zones, so your presentation needs to be slow and methodical. Get close to the bottom and work your bait deliberately. This isn't a day to cover lots of water quickly.

  • Lake Lanier Fishing Report: Shifting Conditions, Solid Bite Windows, and Productive Lures for December 1st, 2025

    Lake Lanier Fishing Report: Shifting Conditions, Solid Bite Windows, and Productive Lures for December 1st, 2025
    Dec 1 2025
    # Lake Lanier Daily Fishing Report - December 1st, 2025

    Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with today's fishing report for Lake Lanier. We're in early December now, and let me tell you, conditions are shifting as we head deeper into winter.

    **Current Conditions & Timing**

    We've got a First Quarter Moon working in our favor today, which means we're looking at solid bite windows. Your major bite times are hitting early this morning from 7:18 to 9:18 AM, with another major window from 7:34 PM to 9:34 PM. The minor bites are scattered throughout the day—12:13 to 2:13 AM and 2:23 to 4:23 PM. Visibility is holding at about 60%, which is decent for this time of year. Sunrise and sunset times are shifting earlier each day as we head toward the winter solstice, so get on the water early if you want to maximize your daylight hours.

    **What's Biting**

    Spotted bass are still active around the points and creek mouths, especially during low-light conditions. This is the time to work topwater walkers and flukes early, then transition to underspins and jerkbaits as the sun climbs. Striped bass are moving through mid-lake areas—keep your eyes peeled for bird activity, which signals baitfish getting pushed around. The offshore bite has been producing solid numbers recently with swimbaits and crankbaits working well on the ledges and deeper structure.

    **Lures & Tackle That Are Working**

    Based on recent tournament activity in the area, here's what's producing: swimbaits in blue and natural colors on 3/4-ounce heads, ChatterBaits with green pumpkin and shad trailers, flutter spoons in various colors, and finesse worms on Neko rigs. Crankbaits in shad patterns are also putting fish in the boat. Don't overlook a good old-fashioned topwater setup—quick casts to schooling fish can change your day in a hurry. For bait, live herring and white bucktails are solid choices if you're targeting striped bass, while crawfish patterns work great for the shoal bass and catfish in the river sections below the dam.

    **Hot Spots to Check**

    I'd focus on the deeper points around mid-lake where current breaks are forming. The creek mouths and transition zones between shallow and deep water are prime real estate right now. If you're sight fishing shallow, work the coves and bream beds where cruising bass are patrolling.

  • Fall Fishing Frenzy on Lake Lanier

    Fall Fishing Frenzy on Lake Lanier
    Nov 30 2025
    # Lake Lanier Fishing Report — Sunday, November 30th, 2025

    Well folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Sunday morning Lake Lanier fishing report, and let me tell you, we're still in that prime fall window that's got the bass and stripers fired up.

    **Current Conditions**

    We're looking at some beautiful weather today. It's currently sunny and 78 degrees out there on the water. You've got light winds pushing from the east, so conditions are calm and comfortable for getting out early. Sunrise was around 7:15 this morning, and we're looking at sunset around 5:30 PM, so you've got a solid window to work with today.

    **What's Biting**

    The good news is the bite's been strong as we head into late November. Spotted bass and stripers are still actively chasing bait in the creek mouths and around the points. We're also seeing excellent crappie activity in deeper water—think 10 to 18 feet—stacked up on brush and around submerged timber.

    According to recent reports, cooler water temperatures have kicked the fall bite into high gear. Spotted bass are pushing bait to shallow areas early and late in the day, while striped bass are showing up on blitzes throughout the mid-lake areas, especially near structure.

    **Best Lures and Baits**

    For the bass, you want topwater walkers and small swimbaits working early and late. Switch to underspins and jerkbaits once the sun climbs. For those stripers, throw white bucktails and herring-imitating plugs near any baitfish activity. If you're targeting crappie, bright plastics on 1/32 to 1/16 ounce jig heads will get the job done in that deeper water.

    **Hot Spots**

    I'd focus on the creek arms today—they're holding plenty of bait and actively feeding fish. Check out points where the creeks meet the main lake body. Also work any wind-blown banks; that's where baitfish accumulate and the predators follow.

    Thanks for tuning in to the Lake Lanier fishing report! Make sure you subscribe for daily updates and keep checking back as we head into December. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Crisp November Conditions Light Up Lake Lanier Fishing - Spots, Stripers & Trout Feeding Hard

    Crisp November Conditions Light Up Lake Lanier Fishing - Spots, Stripers & Trout Feeding Hard
    Nov 29 2025
    # Lake Lanier Fishing Report - November 29, 2025

    Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Saturday morning fishing report for Lake Lanier.

    We're looking at ideal conditions out there today. It's a crisp morning with temperatures hovering around 7 degrees Celsius, light northwest winds at 6 to 8 knots, and sunny skies ahead. Sunrise was early this morning, and we've got a good window until sunset, so you've got plenty of daylight to work with.

    The cooler November waters have the fall bite firing on all cylinders right now. Spotted bass are actively pushing bait toward creek mouths and points, especially during low-light periods. Your best bet is hitting those areas early with topwater walkers and flukes—they're responding great to surface action. As the sun climbs higher, switch over to underspins and jerkbaits. We're also seeing occasional striped bass blitzes, so keep your eyes peeled for birds working the water. When you spot them, white bucktails and herring-imitating plugs will get you connected.

    For your lure selection, bring soft plastic swimbaits like the Berkley Nessie and CullShad—these are producing quality fish right now and allow for accurate placement around cover. Have a topwater rod rigged all day; brief surface feeds are common in November, and a quick cast to schooling fish can make or break your outing.

    Head down to the Chattahoochee below Buford Dam if you're targeting trout during those low-light windows. The bite picks up when generation eases, and small nymphs or olive and black streamers work best.

    For your hot spots, focus on creek mouths and deep brush piles in 10 to 18 feet of water—this is where crappie are stacking up. Also work the wind-blown banks where bait is concentrated; use natural colors in clear water, brighter patterns in stained water.

    Thanks for tuning in! Make sure you subscribe for daily reports and detailed fishing breakdowns.

  • Lake Lanier Fishing Report: Topwater Blitz and More on the Chattahoochee

    Lake Lanier Fishing Report: Topwater Blitz and More on the Chattahoochee
    Nov 28 2025
    # Lake Lanier Fishing Report - Friday, November 28th

    Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Lake Lanier report for this chilly Friday morning.

    We're looking at late November conditions up here on the Chattahoochee, and let me tell you, the lake is absolutely firing right now. Water temps have dropped into that sweet spot where the bass are getting aggressive and stacking up. The cooler water means the fish are actively feeding, so if you can get out there this afternoon, you're gonna have a good time.

    According to recent reports from Major League Fishing guides working the lake, we're in prime topwater season right now. The spotted bass—which are the dominant species here at Lanier—are schooling over humps, points, and reef markers. You can find schools ranging from ten fish all the way up to hundreds of them bunched together. The action is nothing short of fantastic.

    For your lure selection, you'll want to focus on pencil poppers and walking baits as your primary topwater options. Throw some flukes and small swimbaits into that rotation as well. If the topwater bite slows down as the sun gets higher, drop down to drop-shots or jigs to finesse those stubborn fish. We're also seeing solid striped bass activity mixed in with the spotted bass, so don't be surprised if a meaner fish grabs your topwater.

    Now here's a pro tip from the guides—fish early and late in the day when you can. The major bite times are running in the mornings around 7 to 9 AM and again in the evenings. But honestly, with water this cold, you might find active fish all day long.

    For hot spots, head up into the creek systems where the baitfish are congregating. The points and creek mouths are loaded right now. Also, don't sleep on the areas near Buford Dam where current is running stronger during weekday dam generation—that current makes a real difference in fish positioning.

    If you want to expand beyond topwater, the Chattahoochee River below the dam is fishing well for trout during the low-light windows, and crappie are stacking on brush in 10 to 18 feet of water around Allatoona and West Point.

    Get out there and make it happen. Thanks for tuning in and make sure you subscribe for more reports. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
