# Lake Lanier Fishing Report - Friday, November 28th

Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Lake Lanier report for this chilly Friday morning.

We're looking at late November conditions up here on the Chattahoochee, and let me tell you, the lake is absolutely firing right now. Water temps have dropped into that sweet spot where the bass are getting aggressive and stacking up. The cooler water means the fish are actively feeding, so if you can get out there this afternoon, you're gonna have a good time.

According to recent reports from Major League Fishing guides working the lake, we're in prime topwater season right now. The spotted bass—which are the dominant species here at Lanier—are schooling over humps, points, and reef markers. You can find schools ranging from ten fish all the way up to hundreds of them bunched together. The action is nothing short of fantastic.

For your lure selection, you'll want to focus on pencil poppers and walking baits as your primary topwater options. Throw some flukes and small swimbaits into that rotation as well. If the topwater bite slows down as the sun gets higher, drop down to drop-shots or jigs to finesse those stubborn fish. We're also seeing solid striped bass activity mixed in with the spotted bass, so don't be surprised if a meaner fish grabs your topwater.

Now here's a pro tip from the guides—fish early and late in the day when you can. The major bite times are running in the mornings around 7 to 9 AM and again in the evenings. But honestly, with water this cold, you might find active fish all day long.

For hot spots, head up into the creek systems where the baitfish are congregating. The points and creek mouths are loaded right now. Also, don't sleep on the areas near Buford Dam where current is running stronger during weekday dam generation—that current makes a real difference in fish positioning.

If you want to expand beyond topwater, the Chattahoochee River below the dam is fishing well for trout during the low-light windows, and crappie are stacking on brush in 10 to 18 feet of water around Allatoona and West Point.

Get out there and make it happen. Thanks for tuning in and make sure you subscribe for more reports. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
