Lake Lanier Fishing Report - Trophy Striper Fishing Continues on Lake Lanier. Report Date: April 30, 2011 Shane Watson Guide Service Report. My customer Alain S. with a trophy Lake Lanier Striper we caught this morning. This fish weighed 39 pounds and was caught on a freelined blueback 50 feet behind the boat. This fish was weighed, photographed, and released to fight another day. We caught stripers on points, reef poles, and out over deep water today. Freelined bluebacks, Redfins, and Spro Dawgs are working. Great job Alain and thanks for releasing such a great fish.
