 Hey y’all, Artificial Lure here with your local Lake Lanier fishing report for June 20, 2025.

Sunrise kicked things off at 6:26 AM and you’ll have daylight until nearly 8:47 PM, giving you plenty of time to chase that next big catch. Weather’s clear across most of the lake with just a hint of stain up the creeks—just what you’d expect in late June. The water’s running in the high 70s, and the lake’s sitting 1.2 feet above full pool, so boat access is wide open.

Bass fishing is fair to good, but the bite’s still recovering from the post-spawn funk. The spotted bass have wrapped up their business and are now out in replenish mode, schooling up in wolfpacks mainly around the mouths of major creeks and out on main-lake humps and long points. A lot of action is happening over brushpiles in about 20 to 30 feet of water—those places are hot right now. You’ll find some fish schooling near the surface, but you gotta be quick; once they go down, they’re moving fast to new water.

Best lures thick this week have been those that draw attention on top: toss a Zara Spook, a chrome or bone colored Slick Stick, Skimmer, or Gunfish. Topwater bites are still the main event—nothing beats watching a wolfpack of spots smash your plug on the surface. For those calm bright days, chrome is hot; when it’s cloudy, reach for white or bone. If you’re not getting bites up top, drop a Spot Choker jig or a Keitech down to the brush, or work a Fluke in white or light chartreuse. Shaky heads with green pumpkin worms are pulling smaller bass off docks and rocky points.

Stripers are starting to muscle in on the action, too. Don’t be surprised if you hook into something big while working your topwater over those same spots. Catfish are also biting well around the dam and piers, with cut baitfish and chicken livers doing the trick. And for you crappie anglers, the bite’s still solid—try live bait or small crappie jigs around submerged brush and docks.

A couple of hot spots to focus on: check out the mouths of Lathem, Yellow, and Wahoo creeks. Those long points and humps out by Ada and deeper brush in the main lake are holding good numbers and some quality fish. Folks are reporting plenty of chunky spots and slabs being caught—Lake Lanier’s definitely showing out this week!
