Fished at a remote island that's part of Lake Lanier from dawn til around 1pm. Since the water was above full pool, they were closer to shore.

1st pic was caught with nightcrawlers surprisingly,
2nd pic w/live blueback herring(probably dead since it got hit once earlier, i didn't bother reeling it in after the 1st hit but this guy still took it)!

P.S I wear a shoe size 11; both were caught before 10AM, The Striper below was spawning also in NOVEMBER. My buddy who was with me also caught a smaller stripe and a 10lb striper around 1pm.
