Lake Lanier contains Blueback Herring which do not tolerate warm, low oxygenated water well much like the striped bass that we hunt in the summertime. Therefore, finding the Bluebacks (the Forage) can lead to finding the Fish. I always look for the creeks that have the highest concentrations of blueback herring then I know that those Creeks/Areas should hold the Stripers. Once I find high concentrations of Forage then I will troll Leadcore line with bucktail jigs & a trailer / swimbaits / or spoons. Once I start catching and/or marking fish then I'll stop and search/fish the area. A general rule of thumb I follow is that by August the fish should be between the main River channel and usually no more than 1/3 back into the creek channels at various depths (shallower in the AM / deeper in the PM). Earlier in the Summer (June/July) I'll still look for fish 3/4 way back in the Creeks and work my way out.

Good stuff CJ... enjoy the spooning...😀😀👍👍
Good stuff!! See you out there.
Enjoying your videos trying to get this going for us
Great video, I went out yesterday didn’t catch a single fish lol
Thanks! Just remember, it'll just be that much more fun when do you find them and catch em!
I will pay you to teach me, I have hard time to find them
Sick intro
At what depth you are finding blueback herring? Looking at your video, looks like baits staying below the thermocline.
Ideally they want to be there but sometimes they're above it. I get so many strikes on lures coming up out of it.
Great videos man! I just came across your channel and hit that sub after watching a few videos. I'm new to striper fishing from my boat and hope to get some videos up soon of it. What would you recommend for a spinning set up for big spoon fishing? Trying to stay in the 7'6" range or smaller as my rod locker wont hold anything larger unless it's a two piece. Thanks!
Thanks, Penn Fierce II 4000 combo (7')
@@theoriginalcaptjack is that the set up you are using in the video? Also sounds like braid are you running a leader?
@@JustBankOnIt It's actually a FierceII 4000 on a Penn Squadron 7' but I also have the factory 4000 combo 7'. Yes I always use a Fluorocarbon leader, I never tie Braid directly to the lure.
I have umbrellas jig and i hear some people say just drop 20 feet to catch strippers. What you think about that Cap. Or what is your opinion tell me. I am newbie. Thanks capt
Hey Steve, I haven't got into the u-rig fishing so I cant share any tips. If you want try give it a go, lots use it.
What kind of line are you using with your spinning reels and magnum size spoons?
I use 20lb braid on my spinning reels with the larger spoons and always use a fluorocarbon leader 20# for larger spoons (2 oz & up). Smaller spoons then smaller setups usually.
What type of line is on your light tackle Abu?
15lb spiderwire invisibraid
what ounce bucktail you use?
What size are the spoons you’re using?
4”-6”
What was the water depth?
what kind of weight on the lure ?
Hi tom,
Depends on the lure. Early summer I start smaller, 1oz bucktails with trailer and maybe move up to 2oz and/or bigger trailers by August. Trial and error really
I hate using live bait. So boring!
