Welcome to the 4th Annual Anvil Striper Tournament


Join us for our signature fundraising event on beautiful Lake Lanier, just one hour north of Atlanta. Enjoy a half-day striper fishing tournament on 1 of 18 boats chartered by Lanier’s top fishing guides. All gear, bait, and snacks are provided, with an awards ceremony and hot lunch to follow.

Book a foursome - or come as you are


All participants compete for the Grand Prize of “Heaviest Striper” and also as a four-person team for the “heaviest haul (boat with combined heaviest 4 Striper caught). Register as a foursome or register solo, and we'll assign you a team.  No experience is necessary. The event is outdoors, rain or shine.

Catch Fish.
Forge Men.
