Subject: Lake Lanier, Georgia 
Submitted by Hammond's Fishing and Boat Storage
Date Fished: 7/18/2008
 Water Temperature: 82
Water Clarity: 4 feet or greater Shane Watson Guide Service Friday Report (07-17-08). The stripers were on fire this morning on big downline bluebacks fished 40-70 feet deep over a 80-90 foot slick bottom in the middle of southend creeks. They were so thick at times, you could not graph through them and you could not keep bait on your hooks fast enough. The numbers of 12-18 pound fish have been amazing at times this week. We got on one giant group of fish this morning that stayed around for about an hour, before moving on. You don't have to get out at the crack of dawn to catch fish right now. Most of this week, the best bite has been from 8:30 - 10:30 am. The leadcore bite was also good this morning in these same areas using Capt. Mack's 1 oz, white jigs, tipped with live bluebacks or chartreuse trailers, fished 7 colors out at 3.0 mph. Overall, the striper fishing was as good as it gets this morning. For the next 8 weeks or so, the striper fishing will be strong most days. This report is brought to you by Shane Watson Guide Service and Hammond's Fishing Center. Good Fishing.
