The fishing bite on Lake Lanier is turning on quick with warmer temperature to 77 degrees this past week fish are feeding on free lines boards and down rods have also been productive, the morning bite and days with low lite sky's have been really productive. Last week did come across some active fish schooling on top water, caught 2 great fish on topwater lures one fish 18lbs.

Despite the recent but much needed rains the River is running clear and cold below Buford Dam. This 40 mile Chattahoochee River Tailwater section will be fishable all summer long.(notice the fog in the background/ air temperature on the river are 20-30F cooler!😨) The brown trout population is all wild stream bred and the rainbows are stocked but hold over for 2-3years taking on wild characteristics with brilliant coloration. Deadrift nymphs for numbers and strip streamers for quality trophy fish.

Scheduled a trip and a storm was blowing in on the day of the trip and Captain James reached out and rescheduled with a day that worked perfect for my family. On the new day it was really choppy and we thought we was just going to have to fish close to shore but then it calmed down and we got to go out deep. Very first fish we caught was a sail fin fish I always dreamed of catching then we caught 2 barricade and a king fish. We hooked what looked like a great white shark that we fought for over 2 hours and it jumped out of the water and broke the line but it was huge biggest shark I ever seen in person and I live in Florida! Overall the trip was a great day with an experienced and friendly Captain and Mate that even helped our 8 year old fight t he shark for 15 minutes building a memory he would never forget! I will book all future trips with Captain James Walker. Great Captain and great man I could not have asked for anyone better than him and his first mate (his son also). If you want a memorable trip tell them what you want and they will do thier best to make it happen! Thank you Captain James for some awesome memories!
Legit 5 Stars. Billy’s knowledge of the area was second to none and he took time to educate us on the process from baiting to reeling in. We averaged a shark about every 20 minutes. He also was extremely patient working with my younger son. Will definitely come back!
Will did a great job and delivered everything we asked! Put us on the fish immediately and we all had fun! We kept him busy the entire time taking fish off the hooks! Highly recommended.
Fishing with Nick was great! Put us on some fish and we pulled in some nice spotted bass along with strippers. Definitely would recommend Nick and we look forward to our next opportunity to fish with Nick.
Captain Willy was fun and energetic! We weren’t able to find the Red drum that we were after but did catch a few sharks. His paylist, fun attitude and personality made the trip for our group of 6 one to remember!
The guys had an excellent shark adventure with Captain Will! They're already trying to get me to book another trip! He was a great time for the teens, their dad, and even grandpa!
