Shane Watson

"A Lifetime of Experience on Lake Lanier"

Shane Watson was born and raised just minutes from Lake Lanier. He has fished Lake Lanier for 35 years and is a 3rd generation Lake Lanier fisherman. Shane's Grandpa Samples, his dad, and his uncles all fished Lake Lanier through the 60's, 70's, and 80's. Lake Lanier fishing is in Shane's blood, it's his heritage. Shane's family has lived in Forsyth County for over 100 years. They were there for the Buford Dam ground breaking ceremony in 1950, they watched the flood gates close in 1956, and saw the lake full for the first time in 1959. Shane's grandparents said this was such an exciting time for the residents of North Georgia as it brought prosperity and electricity to many people.

Since 1979, Shane Watson has devoted his life to perfecting the skills and techniques needed to consistently catch Lake Lanier stripers. Many of Shane's live bait and trolling methods are used by professional fisherman and weekend anglers across the country. Shane Watson is the founder of the Lake Lanier Light Tackle Guide Association. He has been featured on ESPN, TNN, The Outdoor Channel, Sports South, and on Fox 5. Shane provides the fishing reports for Hammond's Fishing Center, Lake Lanier.com, Georgia Outdoor News, and the Lake Lanier Association. In January 2010, Shane Watson was inducted into "The Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame" as a Legendary GuIde.
