CATFISH: Santee Cooper is one of the South’s best fisheries, and the boards have been a big success with drift fishing. The boards just track very well when pulling live bait and the size of the bait doesn’t really affect the board. The fishermen in Tennessee will use 15 inch gizzards with our boards in May and our locals in North Carolina are pulling 3 inch threadfin with the same board and there is no altering the board to do so. If you do not have a gps onboard, a great way to gauge good speed is when boards are just beginning to leave a ripple in the water. Moving with a trolling motor around 0.7mph seems to be the best speed for live bait. The most common technique for stripers are pulling two boards on each side of the boat(one board about 60feet away from the boat and the other about 20feet away). Whether your going to pull 15 inch gizzard shad or shiners from your local store the bugz will do it with no problem.

Our advantage is that fishermen get their baits hit multiple times, and when that fish is running off with that bait and you haven’t got to your rod yet the fish is less likely to let go because he simply doesn’t feel the board. Heavy boards have more weight which is more weight that the fish feels when he pulls on your bait. The weight of the our board is 2.5 ounces, so when that fish grabs that bait the first time and does not get hooked up he will continue to strike that bait. This is also a good time to catch trophy Lake Lanier stripers.This is price is for a set (left and right) of planers Go to Youtube and type in waterbugz to see some helpful hints on how to use this board ANY ORDER NOT SPECIFIED WILL BE SENT ORANGE THE BUGZ ADVANTAGE If you fish period you understand that when a fish feels resistance he knows some things not right and either lets go or short strikes.

When the fish are shallow, free lines, planer boards like Water Bugz, and bucktails are the baits of choice. Some years rainbow trout will be the bait of choice, some years it will be threadfin shad, and some years it will be gizzard shad. Live bait on downlines is the best bet on the deep fish. Due to the water temperature rising from the sunlight throughout the day, we sometimes start the trips midday. The pattern depends greatly on the weather. Some years the fish stay deep and some years they spend a good deal of time shallow. Winter: Winter is a mixed bag every year. A locals favorite due to the lack of other boats. Spoons will also come into play. The local term for this fishing is “Combat Fishing!” Late fall is free line time with herring, trout and gizzard shad. Some of these schools will have several hundred fish in them and will be very visible from long distances. The large schools from Summer start schooling on top and topwater lures are the tactic of choice. Most of the fishing will be on the southern end of the lake.įall: The first part of Fall is some of the most exciting fishing on Lake Lanier. Some of the schools will have several hundred fish in them. The schools of stripers will be in very large schools and is the best time to run up big numbers of fish.

Consequently, this is the most popular time to take corporate trips.

The weather patterns are usually very stable and very few trips are lost due to bad weather. Summer: The summer is the most consistent fishing of the year. The weather is usually very nice in the spring except for one or two of the last cold fronts of the year that may come through the area. Therefore, the stripers will be chasing very large baits like a 12 inch gizzard shad or rainbow trout. The mature female stripers have to consume more calories each day to help produce roe. Early spring is also the leading time to catch a trophy striped bass. Some of the favorites are Lucky Craft Sammies, Heddon Super Spooks, and always the Cotton Cordell Redfin. This makes the spring a favorite time for people who love to cast topwater lures. Spring: During the spring, the stripers and spotted bass will be in shallow water for the most part. Each season brings different tactics and different things to consider.

Lake Lanier which is located just north of Atlanta, Georgia is a year round fishery for striped bass and spotted bass.
