Fishing at Sizemore Lake, Worth County, Georgia

• Overview

  Set in Worth County, Georgia, this is Sizemore Lake. The surroundings are scrub and brush. Surface area runs to about 12 acres — small enough to read in one session. Our Worth County list holds plenty of bigger water. For a base, Sylvester sits 5.3 miles out. For a city, Tallahassee is 78 miles off. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Sizemore Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Nearby survey and observation records mention largemouth bass. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. Work Sizemore Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 81°F for July and 48°F for January. Wet and dry spells shape the year more than temperature. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Sizemore Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out. Warm spells bring fish up, cold snaps push them down.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Should this one be busy, City of Sylvester Lake is 4.1 miles off. None of that is settled for Sizemore Lake in what we hold.
