Does anyone know a good area at lake lanier to fish for white bass and crappie? Also what the best time of year is.
Thanks,

I am hearing that the crappie are under the marina docks. The fish will be concentrated under the deep-water docks. The better fishing for the most part will be on the north end of the lake due to the stained water. The stained water is very important to the crappie fishing on Lanier. The crappie are too spooky in the clear water. The lure of choice is any 1/32 ounce chartreuse and white jig. You really need the very lightweight jig for the slow fall. If the water is very stained go to a red and chartreuse jig. The fish will almost always be in the shade of the docks. The best docks will be the ones that hold brush. Look for rod holders and minnow buckets on the docks to help narrow your search and save you time. One last thing, be sure to use 4 pound test line for the crappie. The crappie are very line sensitive.
The number of white bass in the lake are very low right now.

Do they still have a stocking program for the white bass? I have heard that lanier has got some of the best white bass fishing.
What about striper stocking?
I have also heard about the consideration of stocking hybrids on lanier.

I talked to DNR the other day and they gave me the following information. The Stripers will be stocked in May of this year. They'll stock 350,000 to 385,000 fingerlings. They have never stocked white bass in Lanier. They have experimented with stocking Walleye but I'm not sure that they will put any in this year. They confirmed what I had heard before that the drought the past several years hurt the spawn and the population.

there is a crappie tourment on march 10 out of littlehall park for info go to crappie.com
