This captain really knows Lake Lanier and put us on stripers immediately. We had a lot of fun catching big stripers and spots the entire time in challenging seasonal conditions.  Highly recommend.

Joe was out standing , he worked to get us on fish and was very friendly and outgoing. Will look to do this trip with him again when I’m it GA. Jim Nolin

There are a lot of choices for guides on Lake Lanier, and Joe Hilliard is a great one!  He’s a great guy, has a well equipped boat and lots of knowledge about where and when to fish for striper.  We had fun all day and, more importantly, asked a lot of questions about fishing techniques and his boat, which he freely answered all of them.  I will be following a lot of his recommendations when I’m fishing on my boat.  Thanks again Joe!

I have been on several trips with Captain Joe Hilliard and I am extremely impressed with his skill set to locate and catch some nice stripers on Lake Lanier. He and Jeff always give kudo’s to certain charter guys that has a great reputation on the lake but I beg to differ. Joe is a super nice guy and I would highly recommend anyone to set up a trip and watch him work.  He is amazing and has a proven track record. Devin Madgett
