Shane Watson's Lake Lanier Fishing Report. (06-20-09). The downline striper bite is on fire on Lake Lanier. Downlined bluebacks fished 30-35 feet deep over a 60-80 foot bottom are working very well. We have had some 30-40 fish, catch and release mornings up north this week. These fish up north have been up to 12 pounds. Down south we have had many 15 to 20 fish mornings and these fish have been up to 20 pounds. We've hooked some much bigger ones for our clients on the southend this week, but have been unable to get them to the boat. We were completely spooled one morning on a big fish and had several others pull out 75 to a 100 yards of line and get in the trees. Overall, the striper fishing has been very good this week.
