You will find J B Thomas Lake in Perry County, Alabama. It sits at 308 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 8 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. On size it sits at the modest end of our Perry County list. For a base, Greensboro sits 9 miles out. Marion lies 14 miles off, Moundville another 17 miles. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.
Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. J B Thomas Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics. A quiet corner out of the wind can hold everything.
Averages here run 80°F at the top of summer and 44°F at the bottom of winter. Summer heat is the limit here, not winter cold. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Anyone fishing J B Thomas Lake regularly works to that calendar.
Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Joe Glover Lake sits 1.8 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the position at J B Thomas Lake before loading the car.
