Nice Fish. I travel to TN from time to time and the guys that live down there would rather catch big sunfish (largemouth) and hate stripers cause they eat the largemouth bass........... Keep up the good work!!

10 or so years ago i fished lake lanier just north of atlanta a lot. if my memory is correct i think the lake record was a little north of 60#. in the winter we'de use live rainbows back in the coves. if we didn't get a big one we could always eat the bait.
The boys at the In-Fisherman did a video Called "striper stratedies" it highlites some of the waters by you. A big part of the video touches on summer weather stategies you might want to check it out.
