Your Gainesville Fishing Adventure Starts Here

Jeff Blair was born and raised in Buford, Georgia just a couple miles from Lake Lanier. He has been fishing Lanier for over 35 years. He grew up mainly fishing for crappie, brim, bass and catfish but once he was introduced to stripers he became obsessed with learning the habits of this hard fighting elusive species. After spending countless hours and many years on the water catching thousands of stripers he decided to turn an addiction into a career and became a full time Lake Lanier Fishing Guide in 2005. Since then he has grew his reputation to be one of the top anglers and most respected guides on Lake Lanier. Some of Jeff's innovated striper fishing techniques are now used by many anglers on the lake. Jeff is also one of the few old school fisherman that knows how to catch his own bait and keeps them at his personal bait store at his house. Being mainly a live bait fisherman having tanks full of top notch fresh bait is the key to loading the boat with stripers. After almost 20 years of guiding his passion for catching fish still shows on every trip!!
