Trophy Stiper Guides - Satisfaction Guaranteed Started by two North Georgia Striper Club members, “Big Fish On” Striper Guides was formed, so we can share the fun and excitement of catching “Silver Bullets”, striped bass. We guide primarily on Lake Lanier in North Georgia, though our trophy trips span thought out Georgia and Tennessee. We specialize in having FUN, catching stripers and for the trophy hunter we target monster stripers. We’re your go to fishing guides for Lake Lanier Fishing
About “BIG FISH ON” “Big Fish On” Lake Lanier Striper Fishing Guide Service is Mike Maddalena and Ken West. We have both been bitten by the trophy striper bug and have learned to be very successful at it and want to share the excitement with others. Watching the expression on our clients face when a giant striper rolls on and hammers a bait and then heads downtown with the drag screaming is as much fun as fishing ourselves. Their shouts of ’Big Fish On’ are music!
Trophy Striper Fishing Guide Trips Our goal of our Trophy Striper Guide trips is to guide a fish of a lifetime. We do this by fishing giant live baits in the proper areas during the correct times of year. Trophy Striper Fishing is often very slow fishing, hours without a bite and then bam, a 30lb class fish explodes on bait and it’s ON! That might be the only bite of the day. There are days when we do not get a bite, but we’re after big stripers, period - TROPHY STRIPERS!!
The Fishing
We have two types of trips Trophy Trips and Fun Trips. Fun trips are designed for the novice or experienced anglers and children that want to spend an exciting day on Lake Lanier fishing and catching stripers. These fun trips are ideal for the company outing and parent/child days. Fun trips could also be considered to be traditional Striper Fishing Charters or Striper Fishing Guide Trips. Trophy trips are designed for the experienced angler who wants to target the fish of a lifetime.
Trophy Striper Fishing Guide Trips. Each fishing guide trip is individually planned, taking in to account the anglers wishes, season, water temperature, water clarity and activity levels of the fish, making each striper fishing charter unique and exciting. Various techniques such as down rods, flat lines, planer boards and cut bait are used, again depending on season and water conditions. We fish where the Monster STRIPERS are biting, this often means a 3 to 5 hour drive from the Atlanta metro
Other fishermen might laugh at the size of our landing net, our 10/0 hooks or the size of our bait dip net, but we KNOW when your trying to boat that big one you NEED big equipment. Trophy trips are typically all day, dawn to dusk trips, for either 2 or 3 people, depending on where the fishing guide trip is going to take place. Some trips, we leave the water for lunch, while on others we will have lunch on the shore. You might even be lucky enough to have two experienced captains on a trip.
We STRONGLY promote catch and release and would greatly prefer to take the measurements of your fish, along with pictures, then to harvest it. We will email you the pictures and measurements so that you can get a replica mount made. Another option is to get a Hand Painted Portrait. These big fish are often over 13 years old and are NOT an easily renewable resource. Since we may boat multiple 30+ pound fish per trip, real damage could be done if all the fish were kept. ’Let’em Grow
