Fall Fishing Frenzy at Lake Lanier: Spotted Bass, Stripers, and Crappie Biting Strong


Listen Later

Good morning, folks. It’s Artificial Lure here, and I’ve got the latest from Lake Lanier for you. Today’s weather is crisp and cool, with a high near 60 and a light breeze out of the north. Sunrise is at 7:18 AM, and sunset will be around 5:34 PM, so you’ll want to get out early or stay late for the best bite. The moon is in its First Quarter phase, and the major bite windows are from 7:18 to 9:18 AM and 7:34 to 9:34 PM, with minor windows in between. Visibility is about 60%, so keep that in mind if you’re fishing shallow.

Lake Lanier is turning over, and that means the fish are on the move. The spotted bass, stripers, and crappie are biting strong right now. According to the latest reports, anglers are catching a mix of spotted bass and stripers, with some nice crappie mixed in. The bite is especially hot in the mornings and evenings, when the water is cooler and the fish are more active.

For lures, topwater walkers, flukes, and small swimbaits are working well for spotted bass, especially early and late in the day. As the sun rises, switch to underspins or jerkbaits. For stripers, white bucktails and herring-imitating plugs are your best bet, especially near mid-lake where you’ll see birds working the surface. Crappie are stacking up on brush in 10 to 18 feet of water, so try bright plastics on 1/32 to 1/16 oz heads.

If you’re looking for a couple of hot spots, try the creek mouths and points where bait is pushing up. The Chattahoochee below Buford Dam is also fishing well for trout during low-light windows, so don’t overlook that area if you’re after something different.
