Fishing Shriners Club Lake in Ware County, Georgia

• Overview

  Shriners Club Lake sits within Ware County in Georgia. It stands 89 feet above sea level. About 21 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It lies lower than most water we list in Georgia. For a base, Deenwood sits 4.2 miles out. The big place round here is Jacksonville, 80 miles distant. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Shriners Club Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists bluegill, largemouth bass, redbreast sunfish, spotted sunfish and warmouth. Records show what people reported, not what is stocked. On Shriners Club Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 82°F; the cold one sits at 50°F. Nothing shuts down for cold, so the question is when in the day to go. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Plan around that when you fish Shriners Club Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. If the gate is shut, Baptist Village Lake at 5.2 miles is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Shriners Club Lake in what we hold.
