Lake Lanier contains Blueback Herring which do not tolerate warm, low oxygenated water well much like the striped bass that we hunt in the summertime. Therefore, finding the Bluebacks (the Forage) can lead to finding the Fish. I always look for the creeks that have the highest concentrations of blueback herring then I know that those Creeks/Areas should hold the Stripers. Once I find high concentrations of Forage then I will troll Leadcore line with bucktail jigs & a trailer / swimbaits / or spoons. Once I start catching and/or marking fish then I'll stop and search/fish the area. A general rule of thumb I follow is that by August the fish should be between the main River channel and usually no more than 1/3 back into the creek channels at various depths (shallower in the AM / deeper in the PM). Earlier in the Summer (June/July) I'll still look for fish 3/4 way back in the Creeks and work my way out.
