Took a short trip on Lanier today to get my boat ready for the upcoming season. I didn’t intend on fishing but if I got my work done quickly, I planned on wetting a line or two… After doing some cleaning and fresh water tank work, I took a closer look at my trolling motor problem. Looks like the deep cycle batteries may be dead as they won’t hold a charge. Other than that, nothing major needs to be done. The boat will be serviced early next week and I’ll get any replaced that don’t measure up to the “load test” my mechanic will do.
The summer fishing season for Lake Lanier Stripers is soon to start. As the month of May winds down and the school year comes to an end, the waters of Lake Lanier will warm in the summer heat. We’re currently marking 75-78 on the lower end of Lanier and up the lake the water temps are fast rising into the 80′s.
