Weather was HOT and so was fishing!

Jun 25, 2025 Gainesville

Fished downlines and weighted planer boards at 0.4-0.5 sog. Action was steady until around 10:00 when the heat really set in. Blueback Herring was the bait of choice.

Lanier Fishing Report 3/10/24

Mar 10, 2025 Gainesville

The last week Lanier Striper fishing has been amazing for numbers and for size. A mix of baits (Mainly Herring and Minnows) on Flatlines and Planers have been consistent producers. Flatlines 80-100’ behind the boat and 35-45’ behind the planers is what we have been using. Downlines will produce over deeper water in the spread but have been finding some large fish up in shallower water around the mid-lake area. It is Big Fish season on Lanier so give us a call to get out on the water.

Shawn is a real pro. Extensive knowlege of Lake Laniee & the best strategy to catch Stripers. Worked hard to make our trip a success. If he can't get the fish to bite no one can.

Half Day Trip (AM)

Shawn was able to put us on fish on one of the Hottest days of the year. He had the right experiences to offer my young daughters, wife, 80 year old father, and my 17 year old nephew on the same boat at the same time. Appreciate you Captain for keeping your head on a swivel to ensure our safety and having fun.

Highly recommend Shawn and Lanier Premier Charters. Without his expertise I would not have caught a TROPHY Striper.

Shawn was awesome. There were 6 of us and there was tons of room. Shawn was a great communicator and made us comfortable from the start. Would totally choose him again.
