Marett Lake Fishing Guide, Gwinnett County, Georgia

• Overview

  Marett Lake is one of the Gwinnett County listings for Georgia. The surface lies 984 feet up. This is a pocket water of some 7 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Tucker at 2.4 miles is the nearest place to stop. Lilburn lies 3.3 miles off, Norcross another 3.9 miles. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Marett Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover bluegill, green sunfish, black crappie, snail bullhead and turquoise darter. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. At Marett Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 42°F to 79°F. Cold never closes this one. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. It holds true on Marett Lake more years than not. Warm rain lifts activity; cold rain flattens it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. You can park half a mile away and walk in from there. Toilets show in mapping about half a mile away. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Lake Ivanhoe is 1.2 miles distant. Check the current arrangement for Marett Lake.
