The fishing has been great on Lanier over the past few weeks! In my opinion the best thing going right now on the lake is the spotted bass fishing. The spots are biting a number of different lures right now so you can pretty much pick something you have confidence in and fish with it! I have been catching good numbers on a white rooster tail and a spot-sticker zoom finesse worm. The rooster tail works best if you let it sink to the bottom and then start your retrieve. Kayak anglers are also having good success with crankbaits, jerkbaits and catching some magnums with free-lined bluebacks while striper fishing!
The stripers are finally coming alive and biting! Free-lined bluebacks are still the ticket right now but don't leave home without a topwater lure. Red-fin's and Zara spooks are the lures of choice. Catching a striper on top in the kayak can be challenging but is worth the effort! Pictured below is a nice 12.5 pound striper that L.A.K.E member Ceanes landed today. Stripers over ten pounds will give you what is called a "sleigh ride" Quite an adrenaline rush!
If you want to have some fun this spring with ultra-light gear the bream bite is really starting to turn on on Lanier. On average the fish runs small but there are some larger ones in the mix waiting to be caught! All of the new structure on the shoreline is making for a great habit for these fish to survive in. I landed 20 plus bream on my last trip with a 1/32 oz jig and a pink grub. This combo has been producing bream, crappie, largemouth bass, spotted bass and even a five pound catfish. I just throw the jig out around brush/shorelines, let it sink, then slowly retrieve the lure. If you want catch numbers of fish then give this a shot, you never know what you may hook into!
Good luck on the water! If you want to learn more about kayak fishing or connect with other Lanier Kayak Anglers visit our forum at
