Common Questions for Lake Lanier Striper Fishing Charter Trip

What Should I Bring on My Trip?

All bait, tackle, and ice furnished at no additional cost so no need to bring those.  Please do bring:

  • Fishing License (www.gofishgeorgia.com)
  • Food & Drink (ice is provided)
  • Camera
  • Cooler for fish
  • Sunscreen
  • Rain Gear

How Long Should I Book a Trip For?

We offer four or six hour trips.  We only offer four hour trips on the weekend when the boat traffic gets much heavier as the morning goes on.  We want to put you on the fish before the crowds head out. 

If you are bringing kids, we typically recommend a four hour trip. 

Are Kids Welcome?

We love kids on the boat, but we do recommend a 4 hour trip if kids are joining.  We also recommend that you dress kids appropriately for the weather – running across the lake makes the temperature much colder.  Kids under 13 require a life jacket.

How Many People Can Fit in the Boat?

We fit four people comfortably on the boat.  We can fit up to 6 but we say if you don’t know those people well before your trip, you will know them well after your trip.   We also offer multi-boat trips if needed.

Do You Guarantee Fish?

We don’t guarantee fish, but we do guarantee we will work hard to deliver you the best Striper Experience.  We rarely have a day in which we don’t catch fish.

How does weather effect our trip?

We keep a close eye on the weather but we don’t rely on the weather forecast more than 12 hours out.  If the weather is a concern the day of your trip, we will communicate regarding options and timing.  If we decide to cancel and you are unable to reschedule, we will refund your deposit if you booked online.

Where Do We Meet Our Guide?

We’ll meet at a boat ramp, and we can do either the east or west side of the lake depending on where the fish are biting.  If you live on the lake or are staying on the lake, we can pick you up at your dock provided your dock isn’t too far away from where the fish are biting.  We would rather spend your time fishing.

Do We Need a Fishing License?

Yes, everyone 16 and older needs a Georgia fishing license.  Licenses are very cost effective, even for out of state anglers. You can get your license online at www.gofishgeorgia.com.

Is There a Bathroom Available?

We do have a porta potti on the boat that we can make available. Aside from that, most of the parks and marinas on the lake have a bathroom if we need to make a stop.

Where Can We Stay, Eat and Play?

Check out our Lake Lanier Resources page to see our recommendations on places to stay, activities on and around the Lake Lanier area and restaurants on the water.

What is Your Cancellation Policy?

When you book, we will take a credit card number as a reservation holder.  We don’t charge anything to the card unless you cancel within 72 hours.   If you do cancel within 72 hours of your trip, we charge a half price cancellation fee. You can use a credit card the day of the trip and we charge a 3% transaction fee. Otherwise, cash or check works just fine.

In the case of inclement weather, we will reschedule if your schedule allows.  Call us to discuss inclement weather options.
