Striped Bass
While Lithonia isn't directly on a major striped bass fishery, determined anglers can find opportunities within a reasonable drive. The Etowah River system, a bit north of Lithonia, is stocked with striped bass and offers a chance to target these hard-fighting fish. Spring and fall are the best times to fish for stripers, as they migrate upstream to spawn or feed. Look for areas with current, such as below dams or near river bends. Trolling with large crankbaits or live bait is a common and effective method. A local tip: Pay close attention to the water levels and clarity; stripers tend to be more active in clear water with a moderate current. Remember to check the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) website for current stocking reports and regulations regarding striped bass fishing, as these can change frequently. Be prepared for a drive, but the reward of landing a striped bass near Lithonia can be well worth the effort.
