Lake Lanier, Georgia Fishing Report Today

Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Lanier fishing report for March 12, 2025. The lake's sittin' pretty at 1071.8 feet, just a hair above full pool. Water temps are climbin', ranging from the low to mid-50s, and clarity's decent except for some stained areas up in the creeks.

Sunrise today was at 6:52 AM, and we're lookin' at sunset around 7:38 PM. Weather's been mild, with highs in the mid-60s and lows in the upper 40s. We've got a bit of cloud cover, but nothin' to write home about.

Now, let's talk fish. Stripers are the name of the game right now, and they're startin' to move shallow. Folks have been haulin' in good numbers in the 5-15 pound range, with a few lunkers pushing 20-25 pounds. The spotted bass bite's pickin' up too, with some nice 3-4 pounders comin' to the boat.

For stripers, live bait's still king. Blueback herring and gizzard shad on freelines and planer boards are producin' well. If you're an artificial guy like me, try workin' a Berkley Stunna jerkbait or a white bucktail jig around points and humps. For spots, a shakey head with a green pumpkin finesse worm is hard to beat.

Hot spots this week include the mouth of Shoal Creek, the humps near Buford Dam, and the points leading into Baldridge Creek. Don't overlook the docks in Bald Ridge Creek either - they've been holdin' some nice fish.

For you crappie enthusiasts, the bite's startin' to heat up. Minnows under a float around brush piles in 15-20 feet of water are fillin' livewells. The docks in Young Deer Creek have been particularly productive.

Remember, as the water warms up, them fish'll be movin' shallower. Keep an eye on your electronics and don't be afraid to cover some water.

That's all for now, folks. Get out there and wet a line! This is Artificial Lure, signin' off.

Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Lanier fishing report for March 11, 2025.

First off, let's talk weather. We're looking at partly cloudy skies today with highs around 65°F and lows dipping to 48°F overnight. Winds are light and variable, making for some nice conditions out on the water. Sunrise was at 6:52 AM and sunset will be at 7:38 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with.

Now, onto the fishing! The lake level is sitting about 0.8 feet above full pool at 1071.8 feet. Water temps are ranging from the high 40s to low 50s, with clarity varying due to recent rains.

Folks, the bite has been pretty darn good lately. Stripers are starting to move into shallower water as we transition into spring. They've been hitting freelines with live herring, especially in the 120-150 foot range behind the boat. Some anglers are having luck with medium shiners too. If you're into artificial lures (and who isn't?), try working a Berkley Stunna jerkbait or a 1/4 oz jighead with a 3-4 inch white Berkley Powerbait Swimmer along points and banks.

Bass fishing has been solid too. Spotted bass are staging for the spawn, with most fish hanging out in 15-30 feet of water. A 3/8 oz Spot Choker with a Keitech swimbait in Electric Shad or Tennessee Shad has been producing well. Don't forget about your trusty shakey head with a Zoom Trick Worm in green pumpkin or watermelon red.

Crappie fishing is heating up nicely. They're starting to move shallow, with most fish being caught in 5-15 feet of water. Minnows under a float are always a good bet, but if you're going artificial, try a 1/16 oz jig with a 2-inch curly tail grub in white or chartreuse.

For you catfish enthusiasts, channel cats are biting well on cut bait or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom in 15-25 feet of water.

As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the back of Flat Creek or around Vann's Tavern. The points and humps near Bald Ridge Creek have been producing some nice fish too.

Remember folks, the key this time of year is to fish slow and be patient. The big ones are out there, you just gotta put in the time. Tight lines, y'all!

Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the latest scoop on the fishing scene at Lake Lanier, Georgia, as of February 15, 2025.

First off, let's talk about the conditions. Lake Lanier is currently about 1.5 to 1.6 feet below the full pool of 1071 feet, which is pretty typical for this time of year. The water temperature is hovering in the low 40s, and the clarity is generally clear with some slight staining in the backs of the creeks and up the rivers.

Since Lake Lanier is a freshwater lake, we don't have to worry about tidal reports, but the steady lengthening of daylight is a key factor in triggering the bass to start their prespawn activities. Sunrise today is around 7:15 AM, and sunset will be at about 6:00 PM, giving us a good window for some productive fishing.

Bass fishing on Lake Lanier is good right now. The colder water has made the fish a bit lethargic, but they're starting to feed more actively as they prepare for the upcoming spawning season. The female largemouth bass are usually the first to move into prespawn, and with the longer days, they're beginning to make their way shallower. Look for stable weather with a slight warming trend – even a degree or two increase in surface temperature can make a big difference.

For bass, particularly spotted and largemouth, the deep bite in the ditches is in full swing. Use baits like the Spot Choker, Damiki Rig, or a half-ounce spoon, and work them slowly down the middle of the ditches. A white half-ounce Flex-it spoon on ten-pound fluorocarbon has been the best choice for spoons. For the Damiki rig, a three-eighths head with a two-eighths paddle tail Keitech worked directly above the bass has been effective. There's also a worm or jig bite off the ends of long points in the 35 to 45 foot water range. A quarter-ounce shaky head with either a trick worm or a senko in darker green patterns has been working well.

Striped bass have migrated to the north part of the lake, and using your electronics to locate bait in depths of 30 to 50 feet is crucial. Flat lines and down lines with trout and shiners are working well, and blue backs on a pitching rod near low water markers can provide some exciting action. Umbrella rigs pulled 80 to 100 feet behind the boat at 2.5 to 3.5 mph can also be very effective.

If you're after crappie, Sardis Creek is an excellent spot. The shallow waters and submerged structures here provide a perfect habitat for crappie.

Some hot spots to consider include Vanns Tavern for largemouth bass, where the area offers plenty of cover and structure. For striped bass, the creeks on the north end of the lake, such as Ada, Gainesville, and Little River, are holding more fish than the southern creeks. Flat Creek is another prime location for striped bass due to its deep waters and abundant baitfish.

Recently, there have been some impressive catches. Tournament weights have been over 24 pounds for spotted bass, and multiple bags have exceeded

The water temperature is hovering in the low 40s, and the clarity is generally clear with some slight staining in the backs of the creeks and up the rivers.

Since Lake Lanier is a freshwater lake, we don't have to worry about tidal reports, but the steady lengthening of daylight is a key factor in triggering the bass to start their prespawn activities.

A white half-ounce Flex-it spoon on ten-pound fluorocarbon has been the best choice for spoons. For the Damiki rig, a three-eighths head with a two-eighths Keitech paddle tail worked directly above the bass has been effective. If you see fish locked into an area, a War Eagle half-ounce spoon in white or silver is a great choice.

There's also a worm or jig bite off the ends of long points in the thirty-five to forty-five foot water range. A quarter-ounce shakey head with either a trick worm or a senko in the darker green patterns has been the most effective. Working a three-eighths or one-half ounce jig in a crawdad pattern has also been producing fish on the same points, but both these baits have to be worked very slowly.

Striped bass have migrated to the north part of the lake, and using your electronics to locate bait in depths of 30 to 50 feet is crucial. Flat lines and down lines with trout and shiners are working well, and blue backs on a pitching rod near low water markers can provide some exciting action. Umbrella rigs pulled 80 to 100 feet behind the boat at 2.5 to 3.5 mph can also be very effective.

If you're after crappie, Sardis Creek is an excellent spot. The shallow waters and submerged structures here provide a perfect habitat for crappie. Crappie have been at depths of 10 to 25 feet above a 20-to-40-foot bottom. Crappie minnows have been 80 percent or more of the bite this week. Small 1.25 jigs in gray or white have also worked well.

Crappie fishing is also good, with the fish in large groups in open water and under docks. Crappie have been at depths of 10 to 25 feet above a 20 to 40 foot bottom. Crappie minnows have been 80 percent or more of the bite this week. Small 1.25 jigs in gray or white have worked well.

Recently, there have been some impressive catches. Tournament weights have been over 24 pounds for spotted bass, and multiple bags have exceeded 20 pounds. Anglers have also been catching big crappie, with fish weighing up to 2 pounds 10.9 ounces and measuring 15 ¾ inches.

For hot spots, you should definitely check out Vanns Tavern for largemouth bass. This area offers plenty of cover and structure, making it ideal for bass fishing.

A half-ounce War Eagle jigging spoon in either white or chrome has also been very productive when worked slowly around the balls of shad.
