あらすじ・解説
As of November 30, 2024, Lake Lanier is offering some excellent fishing opportunities despite the ongoing lake turnover. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Conditions
The lake level is currently about 2.5 feet below the full pool of 1071 feet[1][3][5].
The water temperature is in the upper 60s to low 70s, which is ideal for fall fishing[1][3][5].
Water clarity varies, with some areas clearer than others due to the lake turnover. Avoid areas with dark, coffee-like water and foam bubbles, as these are signs of turnover[1][3].
### Weather and Time
Sunrise today is at around 7:10 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:15 PM.
The weather is expected to be cool, with temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to mid-60s, making it a great day for fishing.
### Fish Activity
The fall striper bite is in full swing, with stripers schooling on top at random times. These schools can be quite large and visible from several hundred yards away[1][5].
Bass fishing is fair to good, with spotted bass actively feeding in the creeks and around points and humps. The topwater bite is still active, especially in windy areas[2][3].
### Best Lures and Bait
For stripers, topwater baits like the Berkley Magic Swimmer and Berkley Drift Walker are highly effective. The Magic Swimmer, particularly in the new colors perfect ghost and olive bone, has been performing exceptionally well[1][5].
For live bait, pulling freelines with blueback herring 100 feet behind the boat can yield great results. Use these baits across humps and points to catch both stripers and spotted bass[5].
For bass, the Lip Thrashin Riser, Ima Skimmer, swimbaits, and Spot Chokers are good choices for the topwater bite. In deeper waters, use a dropshot with a Lanier Baits Sweet Rosey or Blue Lily colored worm around brush and ledges in the 25- to 35-foot range[2][3].
### Hot Spots
Focus on the south end of the lake for stripers, although they can quickly move further north. Ditches, humps, and feeder creeks where they intersect with the channel are key areas to check[1][3][5].
For bass, target the mouths of the creeks to about halfway back, and look for areas with cover and shade. Points and humps in the main lake and major creeks are also productive spots[2][3].
Remember to stay flexible with your fishing patterns as weather fronts can affect fish behavior, and always keep an eye on water clarity to maximize your chances of a successful catch.
