Blackmon Lake, Georgia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Blackmon Lake belongs to Muscogee County, Georgia. Elevation runs to 390 feet. With some 28 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. The whole outline is near 1.3 miles, and most of it is walkable. It ranks high for size among our Muscogee County listings. Supplies mean a trip to Smiths Station, 5.9 miles off. The big place round here is Columbus, 8.1 miles distant. You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Blackmon Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Public wildlife records from this area list largemouth bass, bluegill, redbreast sunfish, redear sunfish and gizzard shad. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. At Blackmon Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 80°F at the top of summer and 46°F at the bottom of winter. Long warm spells define the calendar more than any cold. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Expect Blackmon Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. If the gate is shut, Biggers Lake at 0.4 miles is the nearest alternative.
