My grandson Nash is now officially a striper-catching professional—or so he says! On a day off from guiding, we hit Lake Oconee and boated 12 nice fish.

Cooler weather is just around the corner, and the bigger stripers will begin firing back up. Now is a great time to book your fall fishing trip!

Bill and Bob were out with us this morning, and it’s that exciting time of year when the stripers start feeding on topwater!

Nothing compares to watching a big fish explode on a bait at the surface. As the milder temperatures roll in, the topwater action should only continue to get better.

Everett and his dad squeezed in a last-minute fishing trip before school starts back, and it paid off with some really nice fish!

The lake is getting quieter as summer winds down, and the fishing continues to improve. It’s a great time to get on the water and take advantage of the excellent bite.

We had another fantastic morning on Lake Oconee today! Harper and her brother couldn’t have asked for a better trip, boating over 50 fish before 10:00 a.m. The action was nonstop from the time we started, and these two stayed busy reeling them in all morning.

The bite is outstanding right now, and there’s no better time to get out on the water. If you’re ready for some incredible action and want to make memories like Harper and her brother did today, book your fishing trips.
