I'd Rather Be Striper Fishing Lake Lanier

Member since September 2022 Gainesville, United States
Background
The captain started fishing as early as he can remember. From rivers to ponds to lakes to the gulf, if water was near, he was fishing it. He caught his first Striper about 9 years ago on a friend's boat and was hooked. As soon as he was able, the captain bought my first boat and dove right in spending every chance he could on the water chasing fish. He's spent the last 7 years learning and fishing the southeast. During this time, he has learned techniques and tricks for hooking this fish. The captain has made great relationships and really enjoyed taking clients fishing and seeing them land some quality fish.
