Great day of fishing you had there thanks for sharing! I haven’t been fishing in a couple months ago but this video got me fired up! Hopefully I’ll be able to get on the water this week!
You are the BOSS!! So envious - can’t find a Stripe on Smith Lake AL to save my life. Winter fishing here is supposed to be tops too but its totally opposite for me? Hopefully one day I’ll figure it out but if I don’t: Spring is coming!
You were busier than a one-armed bricklayer in Baghdad. Wife on phone "I am on my way. babe.....meanwhile multiple reel drags screaming in the background.. Something tells me she has heard that story before. Epic...
Thanks, March is a transition month but the humps, saddles, points get good especially for spotted bass. Night time striper fishing around the same places and lights is usually best.
The tapping sound is commonly referred to as “drumming” and can gain the attention of striped bass. Many times it’ll draw them in to your bait spread and / or give you an opportunity to present a lure.
Hi, definitely is common in the heart of winter and or during a cold winter. Generally when the bait is layered up thick on the bottom the stripers are there or aren’t too far behind. It’s the old saying find the bait find the fish.
Hi I live in Buford but fish all over the lake mainly out of the east side. I use all baits just depends - in my videos you can see I catch them on a variety of live and artificial baits - I prefer artificial when possible
The phone call!!! 😂 I know that feeling
Awesome day man
Thanks Steve much appreciated! Enjoy your videos!
@@theoriginalcaptjack thanks

Yes she has...haha
Great Video!! Will be visiting Lanier early March on kayaks, any suggestions on what part to fish around?

@@theoriginalcaptjack thank you sir for the helpful tips! Excited to go and try for some Stripers! 🙏🏽
Haha, great video! I have been there with the wife calling. Haha
Hey thanks. I thought that might be relatable...
What does tapping the boat do?? …around 13:50?? Attract bait or the biggins??
The tapping sound is commonly referred to as “drumming” and can gain the attention of striped bass. Many times it’ll draw them in to your bait spread and / or give you an opportunity to present a lure.
The fish come from a fishery and when they feed them in the big fiberglass tanks, they bang on the side before throwing the food in.
Great video!!! Was this mid lake? Planning to return to Georgia for the weekend on a kayak any tips appreciated
Thanks, the afternoon bite is good.
Great video. Were you drifting or spot locked?
Thanks; I’ll drift, move slowly .2-.6mph with the trolling motor or spot lock in the winter just depends.
lol love you so much but the fish are biting I can't come home now ;)
Seems Capt. jack done switch from artificial baits to full blown top shelf live baits.
The live bait bite is too consistent to ignore. It's true trout are more money but each bait is a striper sometimes two!!
Now We Are Fishing
Have you ever tried to fish Hartwell? I know Hartwell has a ton of timber, is Lanier the same?
@@mitchfarmer9509 hi, yes I have videos on my channel that were filmed on Hartwell. Lanier and Hartwell are very similar - Lanier has tons of timber.
You mentioned stripers at the bottom alot. Is this normal for them to be at the bottom? How far down usually?
Hi, definitely is common in the heart of winter and or during a cold winter. Generally when the bait is layered up thick on the bottom the stripers are there or aren’t too far behind. It’s the old saying find the bait find the fish.
I'm local and fish lake lanier. Where area of Lake Lanier are you on? What bait do you use?
Hi I live in Buford but fish all over the lake mainly out of the east side. I use all baits just depends - in my videos you can see I catch them on a variety of live and artificial baits - I prefer artificial when possible
were you fishing near creeks or river channels? enjoy your videos!
Hi thanks Toney! Fishing back in creeks 50'-70' of water.
How are you anchored ?
Spot lock on the trolling motor when needed
Where do you get trout minnows. My connection in NC quit selling bait fish and now sales koi pond fish.
Local bait shops have trout of various sizes during the colder months
what is that thumping sound
Thumper / drumming
did you say you need more anglers? take me!!!!
Did you get an automatic thumper ???
Yes sir
Which part of the lake you’re fishing during winter? Near the dam, middle of the lake or way down the lake end.
Hi Phuc, I usually fish from mid lake creeks to north end creeks and bays/pockets along the way. Find the deep bait and you’ll find the fish.
what kind hook and size you using Thanks
Mutu light circle, size varies based on bait size. I just did a short video on this and put the link in the description for more info.
was that a MH or ML ugly rod you used?
Hi those are the ugly stik catfish rods which are generally MH.
lol
