 Lake Lanier’s fishing scene on June 21, 2025, is classic summer action, with levels running just over full pool and water temperatures flirting with the upper 70s. We kicked off the morning with a sunrise at 6:28 AM and can expect sunset right around 8:54 PM, giving anglers a full day of opportunity and a beautiful window for that dawn patrol bite.

The post-spawn funk has been hanging around for bass. Spotted bass, in particular, are just starting to shake it off, and while fish are easy to locate on brush, humps, and long points in that 25-35 foot range, getting a solid bite takes patience. The topwater action is still your ticket to excitement—chrome or bone Skimmers and Slick Sticks have been the most consistent, especially when cast over structure and worked with a steady retrieve. If the surface bite slows, drop shots rigged with Sweet Rosy or Morning Dawn worms are putting some nice spots in the boat. For those working docks and rocky points, green pumpkin Senkos on a shakey head remain a solid, if smaller, option. According to Lakeside News, most bass are still showing some spawn marks, so persistence is key.

Striped bass are on the move, transitioning deeper with the warmer water. Early and late in the day, you’ll find them chasing bait up shallow in pockets from Brown’s Bridge down to the dam, but as the sun sets in, they’re heading for cooler, deeper haunts. Downlines at 25-35 feet, baited with live herring or small shad, are producing consistent action. The Striper Experience reports lead core trolling is also kicking off—try Capt Mack’s 1.5 oz Chipmunk jigs in white/silver or white/chartreuse for a shot at those bigger fish.

Crappie, bluegill, catfish, and even the odd walleye are part of the mix. Catfish anglers are scoring from the dam and piers using cut bait and chicken livers. Georgia Wildlife suggests if you land a big cat, especially over 10 pounds, give DNR a shout as they’re keeping tabs for the lake record.

For hot spots, don’t miss the humps off Vann’s Tavern and the brush piles near Six Mile Creek. These have been holding both bass and striper this week.

Weatherwise, expect partly cloudy skies, light winds, and muggy air—a typical Lanier summer day. Remember tidal reports don’t apply here, but water levels are healthy and clarity is good main-lake, with some staining up the creeks.

Summing up, stick with topwater early, drop shot later in the day, and have that live bait ready for stripers when you head south. The bite is only getting better as we roll through June—so get out there and go catch ‘em!
