About The Lakes Of Georgia

Lake Lanier History

Buford dam was completed in 1956. Lake Lanier harnesses the power of the Chestatee, and Chattahoochee rivers. Both rivers originate in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Lake Lanier serves as a vital economic resource to the state of Georgia. That generates 5.5 billion dollars annually, with over 8 million visitors. Lake Lanier is a vast watershed that is over 39,000 acres and has 700 miles of shoreline. Lake Lanier offers world class striped bass fishing as well as spotted bass fishing. Backed by record catches and giant stripers.

Carters Lake

Carters Lake is nestled in the mountains of North Georgia, and is known as the deepest lake in Georgia. Carters Lake is 3,200 acres; surrounded by breath taking scenery. The lake remains completely undeveloped because it is illegal to build on the lake. Carters Lake helps control the annual flooding in the Etowah river valley.

As the temperature cools for fall the Striped bass fishing starts to heat up. Carters Lake is my favorite wintertime fishing hot spot. Stripers on average are much larger and more aggressive during the colder months. Carters Lake also offers anglers more diversity in species available to catch containing, Hybrids, Spotted bass, and Walleye. Experience incredible scenery and catch unforgettable fish. Starting in Mid October and ending in late February.

Lake Allatoona

Lake Allatoona is only 28 miles from Atlanta and is home to some of the best Striper and Hybrid Striped bass fishing in the state. The lake contains 12,010 acres of water and 271 miles of shore line. Over 6 million people visit Lake Allatoona annually and generate 275 million for the state of Georgia annually. I offer year round fishing on Lake Allatoona.
