# Lake Lanier Fishing Report

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Lake Lanier fishing update for today. We've got some solid conditions on the water, so let's dive right in.

Water conditions are looking good out there. Lake Lanier near Buford is running at a lower-than-average water surface elevation, which means fish are concentrating in deeper channel areas and creek mouths. This actually works in our favor because the fish are more predictable.

As far as what's been biting recently, we're seeing some excellent action on bass, stripers, and crappie. The stripers are hitting strong on swimbaits and soft plastics, especially in the deeper structure. Spotted bass are equally aggressive right now, and they're responding well to spinnerbaits. If you're targeting crappie, you'll want to focus on minnows and small soft plastics around the submerged timber.

For your tackle box, bring those swimbaits in natural colors—whites, silvers, and shad patterns are working best. Spinnerbaits in white and chartreuse are producing for the bass, and don't sleep on simple minnow patterns for the crappie. Live bait is always money this time of year, so grab some shiners if you can find them.

A couple of hot spots worth hitting: the creek channels on the north end of the lake are holding good numbers of stripers right now, and the rock outcroppings near the dam are consistently producing for bass. If you've got time, the flats in the mid-lake section are loaded with crappie.
