Consistent Striped Bass Action on Lake Murray

We are still on a great bite. Have weekdays available.


Still Catching Striped Bass – Weekday Trips Open

Striped Bass

The weather was perfect - partly cloudy skies and comfortable temperatures made for an ideal day on the lake. We launched the boat bright and early at 6 AM and wasted no time getting our lines in the water. With my expert knowledge of these waters, I took the group to some of the most productive spots for Striped bass. We worked a variety of techniques, from deep sea fishing and trolling to heavy and light tackle setups, to cover as much ground as possible.

It wasn't long before the rods started bending, and the group was hooked up with some feisty Striped bass. These fish put up an incredible fight, making powerful runs and testing the skill of our anglers. But with my guidance and encouragement, everyone was able to land some impressive catches. The action was steady throughout the day, and we had a blast watching the fish explode on our baitfish and lures.

Watching the smiles and excitement on the faces of the group was the best part of the trip for me. Seeing anglers of all skill levels experience the thrill of battling a hard-charging Striped bass is what makes my job so rewarding. If you're looking to target these magnificent fish on Lake Lanier, I'd highly recommend booking a trip with the Catch 22 Striper Guide Service. Our 6-hour private Striped bass fishing trips are the perfect way to enjoy a day on the water, make some incredible memories, and bring home some delicious fillets. Can't wait to have you join us on the lake soon!

SC Fishing Report

During October, temperatures cool and the water becomes clearer as rivers recede towards their lowest levels. This makes sight-fishing for redfish, flounder and spotted seatrout easier than during other times of year.
