Winter Cold Front Striper Tactics At Lake Lanier

[@chaunceydavis5290]

WOW Dana, what an AWESOME striper vid, enjoyed it, where were you fishing, it was VERY enjoyable 🎣

[@FCPFishing]

I caught those fish not far from where we ran into each other awhile back.

[@chaunceydavis5290]

@ Good morning Dana, that area seems to be very productive, again, good job 🎣

[@konoiii]

Way to brave the cold! Nice job Dana.

[@FCPFishing]

Thanks for watching! It was pretty cold out there!

[@bucktalesoutdoors7566]

Those were some beauties Dana ! It’s hard for me to put Stripers in the same family as Largemouth or Spots but they are definitely the hardest fighters of fish we call Bass. ( although I’ve never caught a Peacock Bass. ) Stay warm buddy.

[@FCPFishing]

I love catching fish of any species, but actually Stripers are a true bass and Largemouth's and Spots are sunfish. They are completely different altogether. I think Stripers are a bigger challenge and are probably my favorite fish to catch, although I love them all. I have had some of my best days catching White Bass, which are also right up at the top of the list for me, and Walleyes also. Hell, I have a blast catching Gar in the summers, which no-one else likes. I find that catching different species makes me a better fisherman - I learn something that can be applied to other species every time I go out. I have learned things that make me a better bass fisherman from catching Stripers and vise versa.

i agree dana. i usually target striper and spotted bass, but i pretty much love catching them all. hell, speaking of gar, i was catfishing one summer night off the main point at laurel park, and i caught a 21lb gar! took off like a boat lol.

[@DennisTidwell-o8n]

Nice trip in those tough conditions. Always look forward to your posted videos. It is tough as well in NW AL. A 3lb 13 oz. bass in the creek has been my only highlight. Tight lines good sir .....

[@FCPFishing]

A 3lb 13 oz is a nice fish. I'll be filming at Guntersville in the next month or so. I'm hoping it warms up a bit first.

[@elijahwilliams4341]

you ever target catfish dana? i ignore the channel catfish of course but i’ve figured out the flatheads REAL WELL on lanier. caught a few unofficial 50#+ records the past few years

[@FCPFishing]

No, I don't target them, but I catch quite a few. I like catching just about anything, but Cats are my least favorite to catch. They mess up a perfectly good hair jig with their toxic slime. You are more than welcome to catch all the Cats you want so they will leave me alone.

[@karinichelson4624]

At least you got to play with a couple of big ones before the cold front hit!

[@FCPFishing]

Wish I could have caught more, but I can't complain.

[@bryanlong5750]

Does the shad kill normally shut down the bite for a while?

[@FCPFishing]

It can, but I have seen it really turn the fish on too. It makes for an easy meal for the fish when the shad are not moving much.

[@larryphillips8751]

Nice fish. Was the other bait your hair jig

[@FCPFishing]

Yes, the trusty buck tail.

[@mtnguyen1696]

was the location way up north? where stripers migrate to during the winter?

[@FCPFishing]

Most of my videos are filmed on the north end.
