Whether your targeting spotted bass or largemouth bass, Festive Water provides the lessons, guidance, and experience necessary to make this possible for any angler. Kayak bass fishing lessons on the lake generally last 4 hours. At our launch point, we will go over:
- Rods
- Reels
- Line- Fluoro, Mono, Braid
- Lake Structure- Above & Below Water
- What Gear to Choose
- Knot Tying
- Casting
- Bass Beds
- Weather & Fishing
- Action and Power of Fishing Rods
- Bait Selection & Categories
- Lake Reading & Spot Choosing
- Pond Fishing
- Skipping Jigs & Worms
- & More!
After we spend roughly 1 hour going over these topics we will go over basic kayak safety and get ready to launch. Once on the water, we will begin on water application of kayak bass fishing on Lake Lanier. In this part of the lesson we will begin fishing as your guide & instructor give tips and pointers on how to:
- Skip Casting
- Cast While Standing
- Dealing with Wind
- Setting up on a Spot
- Stealth Paddling Techniques
- What to do when Snagged
- “Rod-In-Hand” Steering & Paddling
- Understanding Currents & Fishing
If you're an experienced angler, or not interested in lessons, but rather being shown Lake Lanier hot spots for spotted bass and largemouth bass, Nathan also takes kayak anglers out on guided trips. Trips last as long as you have the time, from 4 hour to 8 hour sessions on Lanier, Allatoona, Hollis Q. Lathem, Bull Sluice, or Hickory Log.
