Fishing Day Lake in Harris County, Georgia

• Overview

  Day Lake is one of the Harris County listings for Georgia. The land about it is oak and grass. At roughly 15 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. For a base, Smiths Station sits 6.6 miles out. Beyond it, Phenix City at 11 miles and Ladonia at 11 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Day Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Public wildlife records from this area list largemouth bass, bluegill, redbreast sunfish and redear sunfish. The list reflects reported sightings and surveys rather than what is stocked. Read Day Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 80°F for July and 45°F for January. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. On Day Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lake Manderly, 1.3 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish Day Lake.
