Fishing at Land Lake, Irwin County, Georgia

• Overview

  Land Lake lies in Irwin County, in Georgia. It sits at 344 feet above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 10 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Fitzgerald sits 7.6 miles from the bank. Tallahassee is the closest city, 103 miles away. Water in the same corner: Clements Lake some 0.4 miles off, Bowen Lake (1.1 miles), Walker Lake some 1.9 miles off, Taylor Lake (2.2 miles) and Roberts Lake some 2.3 miles off. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Land Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Work Land Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it. Watch for the line where weed gives way to clean bottom.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 81°F for July and 48°F for January. No part of the year shuts this water. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Land Lake. A cold snap sets things back for several days.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Clements Lake at 0.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Land Lake as something to verify.
