Chris Leger
Experience world-class sportfishing on Lake Lanier with Captain Chris, a seasoned guide whose passion for fishing is simple: “The drug is the tug!” With over 40 years of angling experience and more than two decades targeting trophy fish on Lake Lanier, Captain Chris delivers a professional, results-driven fishing charter focused on putting clients on quality fish and creating unforgettable days on the water.
Originally from just outside Denver, Colorado, Captain Chris has fished globally in destinations like Australia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean, bringing a diverse, high-level skillset to every trip. Now based in Buford, Georgia—just minutes from Lake Lanier—he operates full-time as a fishing guide, specializing in Striped Bass, Spotted Bass, and Largemouth Bass.
Lake Lanier is a unique and highly productive fishery, especially since the introduction of blueback herring in the late 1990s. These pelagic baitfish drive offshore patterns, and Captain Chris has mastered the precise techniques and locations needed to consistently target big stripers and aggressive spotted bass. His deep understanding of seasonal movements, structure, and bait behavior ensures a strategic, high-success fishing experience.
As the owner of Finja Sportfishing, Captain Chris combines local expertise with a client-first approach. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, every trip is tailored for success, enjoyment, and learning. He practices catch and release to protect the fishery and preserve Lake Lanier’s exceptional fishing for future generations.
If you're looking for a top-rated Lake Lanier fishing charter, Finja Sportfishing offers a premium guided trip backed by decades of experience, proven techniques, and a genuine passion for the sport. Book your trip today and discover why Lake Lanier is one of the best bass fishing destinations in Georgia.
