Lake Lanier Offers Excellent Winter Fishing for Stripers - Targeting Creeks and Flats for a Successful Day on the Water
-
サマリー
あらすじ・解説
As of December 20, 2024, Lake Lanier is offering some excellent fishing opportunities despite the winter conditions. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
First, the lake level is currently at 1067.24 feet, which is about 3.76 feet below full pool. The water temperature is in the 60-62 degree range, perfect for this time of year. The main lake is clear, but there's some light stain in the backs of the creeks, and we're still seeing remnants of turnover in isolated areas.
The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with temperatures in the mid-50s to low 60s, making it a comfortable day for fishing. Sunrise is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:20 PM.
Fish activity has been good, especially for striped bass. The birds are active, and their presence is a great indicator of where the stripers are. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a decent number of stripers, particularly in the Chestatee and Chattahoochee creeks, as well as in southern creeks like Flowery Branch and Bald Ridge.
For lures, the go-to choices this month are Striper Tackle Jigging Spoons and Pro Swim Bait heads rigged on a 2.8” Keitech swim bait. These small baits are what the stripers are keying on right now.
If you're looking for live bait, live herring or shad are always effective for striped bass and other species.
Some hot spots to consider include Flat Creek, which is known for its deep waters and abundant baitfish, making it a prime location for catching stripers. Another spot is Vanns Tavern, although it's more renowned for largemouth bass, it can also yield some stripers, especially in the surrounding creek areas.
Overall, with the right lures and bait, and by targeting the right spots, you should have a productive day fishing on Lake Lanier.
