Lamon Lake, Georgia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lamon Lake falls in Bibb County, part of Georgia. The surface lies 515 feet up. It measures about 29 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. Size puts it in the front rank of our Bibb County list. The town to know is West Point, 8 miles out. Atlanta sits 68 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Lamon Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Nearby survey and observation records mention common carp, bluegill, redbreast sunfish and christmas darter. It is a record of sightings and surveys, so use it as a guide. At Lamon Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 45°F to 81°F. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Lamon Lake fishes to that pattern most years. Cool nights slow the mornings but sharpen the evenings.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Recorded parking is 0.9 miles off, far enough to travel light. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Failing this one, try Williamson Lake, 2.6 miles away. For Lamon Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
