Sunset Lake, Georgia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Sunset Lake lies within the bounds of Colquitt County, Georgia. The country here is scrub and brush. About 14 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. For a base, Moultrie sits 4.9 miles out. It is 55 miles to Tallahassee, the nearest city. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Sunset Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. On Sunset Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort. The nearest town lies to the south.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 49°F and July at about 81°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Fish feed through every month here. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Sunset Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Beadles Lake sits 0.2 miles off and takes the overflow. Ask locally about Sunset Lake if anything is unclear.
