What we run

Trips & rates

Four ways to fish Lake Lanier. Every one of them is a guided striper trip with tackle, live bait, drinks and snacks aboard.

Half Day

4 hours · Up to 4 anglers

The trip most people start with. Out at daylight, on the fish while they're feeding, back at the ramp before lunch.

Six Hour

6 hours · Up to 4 anglers

Two more hours to work a second pattern when the morning bite shuts off. The trip that turns a slow start around.

$120 deposit (20%) holds the date

Full Day

8 hours · Up to 4 anglers

The whole lake and the whole day. We follow the fish wherever they move instead of working one stretch of water.

Night Striper

5 hours after dark · Up to 4 anglers

Summer only

Summer stripers feed hardest after sundown. Lights over the water, live bait down deep, and the lake to ourselves.

$550

$110 deposit (20%) holds the date

Check dates

Rates are per trip, not per person. A 20% deposit books the date and the balance is due on the day of the trip.

In the price

  • Rods, reels and terminal tackle
  • Live bait
  • Drinks — water, Gatorade and Powerade
  • Snacks — chips and crackers
  • Life jackets and safety gear
  • Fish cleaned and bagged

Not in the price

  • Georgia fishing license — every angler 16 and over needs their own before the trip
  • Parking at the ramp — Forsyth County charges $10 for a day pass at the kiosk ($60 annual). Bring a card, the kiosks don't take cash
  • Gratuity for the captain, if you had a good day

House rules

  • Anglers must be 12 or older.
  • Up to 4 anglers per trip.
  • Dress for the weather — layers, and shoes you don't mind getting wet.

The boat

We fish in weather other boats go home in

The boat has a full enclosure, so a little rain doesn't end the day.

Winter trips run in a heated cabin — diesel heater, enclosure zipped up. Some of the best striper fishing of the year happens when everybody else has put the boat away.

Live well aboard to keep bait lively and fish fresh.

Deposits

20% of the trip books your date. Cancel eight or more days before your trip and your deposit is refunded in full. Seven days or fewer, the deposit holds the date — the only exception is a trip the captain calls off for weather. The balance is due on the day of the trip.

Weather

If the captain calls the trip for weather — lightning, thunder or heavy rain — you get your deposit back in full or we move you to another day. Your choice.
