Fishing Davis Lake in Decatur County, Georgia

• Overview

  Within Decatur County, Georgia, you have Davis Lake. This is warm green lowland country. Small at around 13 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. 5.2 miles away sits Bainbridge, the nearest town. Beyond it, Havana at 16 miles and Gretna at 17 miles. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Davis Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. The shape of Davis Lake decides where the fish sit. Deeper water next to shallow is more useful than either on its own.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 81°F, the coldest about 50°F. Warm water year-round keeps fish moving through every month. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Plan any trip to Davis Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Sholar Pond, 2.3 miles away. Nothing here settles the position at Davis Lake for certain.
