Im going out to Lanier tomorrow (thurs)for my first time. Ive been living here in GA for about a month, tomorrow is a last minute decision but Im hoping to find some stripers, anybody got any good Bait Shops near the Gainesville area?? I really have no clue about the area, only been around it with the wife a few times and thats over a year ago, thanks alot.

Sorry for the late reply...
Not sure if there is one more convenient, but I use "Hammonds Crossing", located at corner of Hwy 306 & Hwy 369 (Browns Bridge Rd.) They have a good selection of tackle and live bait and seem to know whats happening on the lake. I see lots of guys there including fishing guides loading up their boats. If you go there, then to launch your boat, just go back on Hwy 369 towards the lake... 2 good ramps on the way towrd G'ville ... Charleston Park, and Six-mile creek. Good luck!
