Salted Hook Fishing Charters is all about fishing the stunning waters of Lake Lanier
With Captain Nick at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
These waters are known for Striped Bass, Spotted Bass, Largemouth Bass, Catfish, Alligator Gar, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few! Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Capt. Nick will bring you aboard a 24' Carolina Skiff that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
Some essentials to bring are sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed to, so long as you avoid glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.
Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen, with Salted Hook Fishing Charters!

My nephew and I had an absolute blast with Elite Striper Sportfishing and Capt. Nick Shirley. We spent the day reeling in striper after striper, and it was everything we hoped for. Capt. Nick runs a comfortable center console boat and knew exactly where to go to keep us on fish, maximizing our time with lines in the water instead of running around the lake. It was obvious from the start that he and his first mate, his father, have spent years learning Lake Lanier. Their experience, teamwork, and passion for fishing really set them apart. If you’re looking for a fun, productive day on the water with guides who genuinely know the lake and work hard to put you on fish, I highly recommend Elite Striper Sportfishing. We’ll definitely be back!
★★★★★ We had an awesome trip with Captain Nick on Lake Lanier! It was me, my wife, and our two boys, ages 9 and 14, and Captain Nick made the whole experience perfect from start to finish. We went out from 6:30 a.m. to noon and ended up catching 10 fish, including striper, largemouth bass, and even a catfish. A few of the stripers were over 15 pounds, which made for an unforgettable morning, especially for the kids. Captain Nick was great with our family, knew exactly where to go, and made sure everyone had a fun and successful trip. We will absolutely book again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great fishing charter on Lake Lanier!
Cap Nick, took us out for a half day and put my grandson on a 10-12 lbs striper almost immediately! We bent rods were the order of the day. My grandson, 8 y/o, summed it up on the way home. “Today was fun. We should fish there all the time.” Me: “ Lake Lanier?” Him: “Maybe, but definitely with him [Cap Nick]. He’s my kinda guy.” What a ringing endorsement. My grandson does t take to people right away, but took to Cap Nicks style, demeanor, approach, and fishing/boat acumen right away. Great trip. Cooler full of fish. Striper, spots, channel cats. Seriously cooler full. 😁
These guys know how to find fish. Very knowledgeable about the lake, baits for the season, technique and fishing spots (they didn't feel the need to follow the crowd). We had a full range of different level anglers, and they provided tips as needed based on experience level they ascertained watching you fight the fish.They worked the boat tirelessly, and it was a perfect boat setup for the trip. We caught on live bait and surface poppers working a blitz when multiple lines were screaming and ensured we boated everything. Highly recommend. Will book them again.
Great experience for our son. He caught 2 big striped bass making this a memorable birthday for him. The crew was excellent, knowledgeable, friendly and handled everything with ease and kindness. They had everything needed to make the trip comfortable and fun. Would recommend if you are looking to for a fun, easy, fishing trip on the lake.
